M24 W3 Press Training

PRESS TRAINING - Mesocycle 24 Week 3

This is Wednesday's training. Kaizzad sir is really awesome. He kept the gym open specially for us to finish our training. I had work till 9 pm so by the time I got to the gym it was 10 and the gym was scheduled to close in an hour. Thankfully Kaizzad sir allowed us to hang around and train 

Overhead Press:

I don't think I've ever done this much volume at such a heavy weight. This is 89.8% of my max.

BodyWeight Pull-ups:
10 + 10 + 9 = 29
I am going to get back into the habit of doing these.

Short workout.
