Overhead Press and Extras

5 January 2011


I've gotten weak on the overhead press, long time since I've trained it regularly. Today I did a medley of OH pressing movements, some upper back work and a few sets for the arms.

Standing behind-the-neck press 135 lbs. x 5, 155 lbs. x 5

Standing regular (front) press - worked up in triples and doubles up to 185x3, 195x2, 205x1, 215x1 (even this felt heavy)

Seated BTN press - 135 lbs. x 5, 185 lbs. x 3

Seated chest-supported rows 2 sets x 6-8 reps w. 3 plates per side

DB flyes x 1 set x 12 reps

Pullups 6 sets x 5

Machine preacher curls 3 sets

Tricep skullcrushers 3 sets (extending arms behind the head until bar touches bench)
