Good lifting progress today - double sets of #OverheadPress and #FrontSquat (do not like, do not want), and managed to get to 5 of each at 30kg in a single set. #Pleased
Soโ€ฆ moved on from #BackSquat to #OverheadPress today. No weight on the bar yet, and technique needs to be worked on. Oh, and hey, I wrote a thing: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/getting-started-on-overhead-press/
Getting started on Overhead Press

OK, so following up on my 80kg back squat last week, today we moved on to overhead press/shoulder press. This week was basically just working on technique, and as you might notice from the video, tโ€ฆ

Paying a bit more attention to how things are feeling. I'm definitely still tight in the glutes and low back from those #deadlifts the other day. Made it a bit straining to get into position for #overheadpress. So I think it is that last workout dragging on me a bit.

Ended up doing a bunch of singles on my #OverheadPress today for fun. I was very pleasantly surprised to pull off my old 1RM again. It was tough, would definitely have called it an RPE 10, but that was after lots of shoulder spamming. So that's quite a pleasant surprise! #gym #mastolift #StrengthTraining
