5/3/1 OHP. 5+ Day.


Today begins a new cycle. 
My upcoming cycle. Not sure if I'll be deadlifting yet. 

Twig arms, activate!
I took the last three days completely off for my deload and I was very much ready to return to the gym today. This time last cycle I did 170x11 for my 5+ day on OHP press and today called for 175lbs, soooo I wanted 11 reps again and got them. Woo. My form is still sloppy on the AMRAP (as many reps as possible) set, but it's consistently sloppy, which at least means I'm still improving strength-wise. After my main set I continued with some heavier singles and doubles, paying close attention to form. My form is better with the singles.

















Goals for today:

135x5
155x5
175x5+

Lifted:

135x5
155x5
175x11
(All sets after 175lbs supersetted with chins.)
205x1x5
185x2x3
135x10x2
---------------------------------------
Week 1 OHP progress thus far:

cycle 1: 160x7 (bounced reps)
cycle 2: 165x7 (bounced reps) - deloaded after this one. 
cycle 3: 160x10
cycle 4: 165x10
cycle 5: 170x11
cycle 6: 175x11
---------------------------------------

Video of workout below.  Most of the reps are good, but sloppy at the end.
