| The press is still good though. What percentage of bw are you doing? It is a funny exercise as i find it depends more on body shape than most others (for me at least). I'm quite tall with long arms so i have always found it really tough to get to a decent weight. Other people can absolutely blast it easily |

I weigh around 260 lbs right now, so whatever percentage that is.

Strength Training
Rowing Machine: 2 minute warmup.
Lat Pull-downs: 160x10, 160x10, 160x10.
Iso-Lateral Bench Press: 85x10, 85x10, 85x10 (42.5).
I didn't do any of the big lifts on this day because I was starting to have some issues with light headedness, which is often a precursor to a Meniere's flare up. If I get under heavy weight and Valsalva, it can set it off (had that happen before). So I did the assistance work I felt I could do, so I wouldn't skip the day altogether.
That night, the wheels came off. Had a flare up that night, woke up with my head spinning. I've been fighting it all the following week, too, and missed a whole week of training. Hoping to get back on track soon.

Ouch hope you feel better soon!
I try and look at these things now as a long winding road. There will be bumps and gaps in training etc but as long as you get the most out of it that you are able to then that is all you can do. |

Yeah, that's the approach that I take. I know I'll get back to it, with a slight reset, and just start back down the road again.

Women's Self-Defense Class: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. This was put on at the TKD school, arranged by the CI and a domestic violence and abuse advocacy we have here called Options. We started the gig with about 16 attendees, and finished with 14 after a few had to leave early. Overall, it was a decent seminar.

Strength Training
Rowing Machine: 2 minute warmup.
Squats: 45x5x2, 135x5, 185x3, 245x5, 245x5, 245x5.
Press: 45x5x2, 85x5, 115x3, 135x2, 155x4, 145x5, 145x5.
Lat Pull-downs: 150x10, 150x10, 150x10.
Iso-Lateral Bench Press: 90x10, 90x10, 90x10.
Back under the bar, with a 10% backoff on all the lifts; this is unfortunate, because I'm backed up farther than I was the last time I had this setback...not good for progress.
The first press set was really heavy, and I only got 4 reps...and then realized I had misloaded the weight. So sets 2 and 3 reflect the actual 10% backoff. I didn't back off the lat pull-downs and iso-bench by 10%; I just backed off the lats a little.

Strength Training
Squats: 45x5x2, 135x5, 185x3, 225x5, 225x5.
Press: 45x5x2, 85x5, 115x3, 135x2, 146x5, 146x5, 146x5.
Deadlifts: 185x3, 225x2, 325x5.
The deadlifts felt really heavy today. I hate getting reset like that.
There was a highlight to this week, though; my boys are out of school for the summer, and they have been joining me at the gym, and we always have a good time together.
