Arcadiagt5Re last boost: I just did 2 reps @ 40 Kg of an #OverheadPress.
There are hot wings and a milkshake in my immediate future.
Mixed lifting day today given that I’ve been away for a couple of weeks. Managed 10 x 50 kg #BackSquat, 10 x 27 kg #OverheadPress and 12 x 30 kg #BenchPress.
Fairly please overall.
After doing not one but TWO, count them TWO, reps of an #OverheadPress at 40kg, I believe it is well and truly time for a serve of hot wings and a milkshake. :)
So…having achieved a 40kg #overheadPress last week we returned to #BenchPress this week. Goal for this year is 70kg, which is going to require some work.
Today we topped out at 3 sets at 50kg, where I managed 4, 3, and 3 reps. I’m actually pretty happy with that but there’s clearly work needed to get from there to a 70kg 1 rep max.
Oh hey, I did a 40kg #OverheadPress today and there’s even video of it… https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2026/04/18/two-down-one-to-go/
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
So… 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/
