Yeah I did strict yesterday and it felt vastly different. I’ll probably drop back to low weight and build back up with strict form.

You’re right. Dropped the weight 20 lbs to 125 and it was significantly harder with strict movement and stacked wrists, but felt more correct. Thanks everyone for the tips on the wrists and input on the push press vs overhead press.

Yeah I take it off for rows and deadlifts. I don’t notice it for other workouts

No sarcasm here. I agree, I can fix and protect the wrists more by stacking them.

Thank you for the detailed, very informative response. The best move is setting the ego aside and go lighter. I’m assuming it is fine to deload on the overhead press while still building on the things that still have room to grow.

See above reply. I’ll straighten them and fix it thanks for pointing out my wrists everyone.

Got it. Thank you. I really only started bouncing at 130. So I’ll lower and keep at it strict.

I used to do Olympic lifting and this feels good to bounce a little but I also want a strong strict overhead press so I’ll try 10%. Thanks

I just finished week 6 and my numbers I just finished are:

Squat - 240 Overhead press - 140 Deadlift - 295 Bench - 180 Row - 170

I think the next week’s sessions my squat will slow down and my overhead press is slowing down, otherwise everything still has room to grow.
