Notes: 3:45 between heavy presses, 2:00 between giant sets. Bringing in the push presses this cycle in case the comp in Oct pans out. I had more in me on that set, but ended up running the plates into the garage door engine/motor, so needed to adjust midset. Strength on presses in general is almost all the way back.
Wore a hat this session to try to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Soaked the brim and had it all run out like a funnel. Honestly thought my roof had sprung a leak for a second.
Behind the neck presses are still causing no issues. Just gonna keep riding it out.
Toward the end on the curls, I went with alternating arm rather than both at the same time. Made it more viable. Currently enjoying this method, as it's letting me get in good volume without going high on the weight.
When done properly I found that behind the neck presses actually help me with shoulder pain. Can never get too much real dealt work. Pretty awesome that you're embracing sauna conditions when you lift by the way. People sometimes think I'm trying to sound edgy when they ask how I train outside in 90 plus degree heat and I tell them it's not a big deal.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm wondering if the pressing may have something of a tonic effect. And it's amazing how much the body can adapt. I dug my arctic training back in the day and thought that had significant carryover to competition success, so this is just another way to do it. And hopefully winter here will be similar.
