WEDNESDAY WORKOUT

Strength Test Day! Come prepared to work for those new 1 Rep Maxes. Bring your wrist wraps, if you need them (or tape, for you rebels).

Press 1RM Test 15 Minutes

Warm-up Sets:
5 reps @ 50%
3 reps @ 65%
2 reps @ 75%
1 rep @ 90%

Work Sets:
*1 rep @ 100+%
*1 rep @ 100+%
*1 rep @ 100+%
*Move the weight up in small increments until you have found your new 1RM. It should only take you around 3 sets-ish after your warm-up to figure out your new 1RM Press.


Then...

5 reps @ 65%
3 reps @ 75%

1 reps @ 95%

Failed at 83# for press, got 82# last week :(
Didn't attempt to go over 265# for DL, focused in on form/back positioning and it felt pretty good

90#(10#PR)
275# (20#PR)

Have to admit I didn't think this was going to happen for either lift. As frustrating as these strength cycles can be, the end result was totally worth it. Thanks!

78# Strict Press (did 3 x 85 last week, though! Old 1RM was 85#)

280# DL (5# PR... but hadn't come anywhere near 275 in almost a year, so I'll take it! Also hit 273# for 2 reps last week)
