that could be an option but i think it's hard to compare the htwo of us on that one since you're already much stronger than i am.

 

i guess it's normal that one can't always make progress on all three lifts equally. the squat was always the the easiest lift to make progress for me, now it gets harder but therefore the deads and bench seem to go up easier.

i'm making absolutely no progress at the military press. wtf?

 

I haven't made much progress with it either. Maybe try push presses for a while. I did those with heavier weights for a while and went back to strict presses and found that my strength had improved a bit.

I did 6 weeks of dumbell presses without back support instead of military press, that took me over my plateau. But pushpress and other variations is probably equally good. The only thing with push press is that it is depressing to go down in weights again when you switch back.

Well, I dont post so much and also dont read the log so much .

 

I noticed you've made a deadlift PB since last time I visited, good work .

trained in another gym today and found out that the bar that i use for squats, deads and military press is obviously not 5kg heavier as a normal bar. a trainer and another guy in my gy once told me so and i believed it. so you can take-off 5kg from all squats, deads and mp i did and of course also from my squat and dead pb's.

had to train early, what i actually prefer. i'm satisfied with what i did today. doing pull-ups now as it's recommended in starting strength: 3 unweighted sets on friday, 3 weighted ones on monday. all to failure.
