Saturday's #MaxEffort #LarsenDeadBench for 205, 215, and the 225 only matching my best, but I feel better about resuming progression. Then 180x2x5 backdown, a 145x8 #JMpress PR any which way (they're all PRs as of last month), and finally, ascending #strictCurls up to the 90x5 PR.
#MaxEffort #JMpress here for 155, 165, the 180 PR, and then a 185 PR. Then backdowns of 145x2x6.
Ascending sets on #strictCurls for 75 and 85x5 and a PR of 90x4. Only my third session of these. Then #JMpress for 135x10 and 8.
This was all after max effort Larsen Dead Press and before front pulls and dips.
Gave #JMpress its own #MaxEffort day, whereas it had previously been tacked onto a bench variation's own max day. Now it's a first class citizen in the bench max rotation.
Here I do 145, 155, the 165 10lb PR, and then a 175 PR on top of that. Then I managed backdowns of 135x2x8.
Still no joy on the #MaxEffort paused #benchPress which is stuck while my close grip gets near to its level (practically at its current level and within 5% of its peak). This means I need to precede this variation with lighter work, rather close grip, which is equivalent.
120x12 on #JMpress, though
More #RepsForMishima on this #MaxEffort #JMpress off the pins, here for 125, 135, a 150 PR, then the 155 PR, both of which are the most weight I've touched on the movement in any variation or standard. Then it was backdowns of 120x8 and then 6.
#JMpress from the pins here for 115x2x10. I really am loving doing this from the pins much more than not, makes it easier to maintain a good standard of form and effort. Be repping a plate in no time.
Finished up with #MaxEffort #JMpress for 115, 125, the 140, and just couldn't help myself and went for the 145. Then it's backdowns of 110x2x8.
After some tucked lever rows (which I ought to film some time, as I have a new way of doing them that I'm quite excited about), I did #doubleTapRepEffort #JMpress from pins at 100 for 10 and 12 reps.
Then after that, some ring HSPU, and lever rows, I decided to give #maxEffort #JMpress a go (from pins) and managed 115, 125, and 135 with backdowns of 100 for 8 and 9 reps. Only going to do this max work on one of my three benchmax days and work the other two off percentages.
After tucked lever rows, I went ahead and brought #JMpress back for the first time in two months. Decided to do it off the pins going forward, which is actually deeper than I had been doing it, not to speak of it being harder without the benefit of a stretch reflex. Here's my top set of 95x8 after 6
My decline weighted #ringPushUps and most of my #tricepsIsolation work experienced a huge boost recently since I came off my bench taper and once again into an accumulation phase. The pushups with +60 shot from 11 to 14 over the course of a month (now +65x9) and my #JMpress is now 115x18+.
While that front pull performance certainly bodes well for future gains and ability, the true standout today has been putting 5 more reps (95x15) on my #JMpress since the last time I did it 10 months ago, pinning my performance and I think my #triceps development squarely at an intermediate level.
And this is the #ringPressDown and latest addition to my #tricepsIsolation. This was my first time at this depth of incline, and while I probably could've stood to walk the shoulders closer to the straps, I think it otherwise hits #triceps about the same as the cable version and dumbbell #JMpress.
I've been mixing in the traditional #tricepsExtensions on rings once in a while as a test of my development on #bridgeExtensions, but I had been lacking something more like a pushdown and hadn't kept up with #JMpress. This, however, should cover that need and be plenty adaptable for #ringtraining.
