Afternoon:

Barbell press - 55lbs 1x5, 70lbs 1x5, 85lbs 1x3, 105lbs 1x5, 120lbs 1x3, 132.5lbs 1x5

I just love pressing. It's pretty funny there is a thread on DD about 5/3/1 and there seem to be a lot of people offering opinions about it that don't seem to have done the program.

Meanwhile here is a weight I've never put overhead before and the first time I get to it I hit 5 reps. And it seems like I hit at least one pr every week. Sometimes that means just doing the same amount of reps but with more authority...sometimes that means more reps and heavier weight..

I'm still not strong, but I'm learning good lessons about doing the work and learning from the experience.
