I am here to live, learn, and pass on.

Strict overhead presses aren't my favorite just because they put so much stress on my lower back but today it exposed certain weaknesses of mine such as my core or abdominal strength. Since my back is stronger, it will bear all the weight.

Like many of us, we forget or neglect certain exercises because there is only so much we can do in one training day or remember to do. Thats why I like to add 1-2 days of extra accessory work solely focusing on weaknesses I need to strengthen or improve my strengths even further. Keeping a list helps so you know what to do when the time comes and can rotate them every week so you're are not doing the same things.

 Adding weighted and/or static abdominal exercise into my "extra work" days which includes extra back, tricep and bicep accessories, will help. Those are typically done on Sundays and sometimes Wednesdays (days I don't train). Really putting in the work and volume, ranging between 4 -6 sets of 15-20 reps of each movement or if it's band work I'll do sets of 100. This has always helped with my training overall. Louie always said to do extra work apart from your training to help raise the weakest muscle groups or surpass the stronger ones and, of course, it has always stuck with me. Plus, if he tells you to do something, you just do it.

Strict overhead press - worked up to 110lbs for 5 x 3 (PR)

Close grip bench to a 1 board - worked up to 170lbs for 4 x 5. The last rep of the last set, my lats completed unfolded, so Mike helped push me to finish.

Floor presses - 115lbs 3 x 8

Incline DB presses - 3 x 20

Dips with the slingshot - 4 x max reps trying to beat each set. Did 25/28/35/30 reps.
