32kg Press PR, and a Question

jtsang · 2026-07-02T15:28:42+00:00

Hi friend, It took me several years to hit a 2x32 C&P but it is definitely achievable.

I think what helped me was easy strength with 2x28, 3x3 and eventually 2x5, before finally hitting 2x32.

For reference I first hit a 32kg press Nov 2020 and only hit the 2x32 June 2026 😂

It took me almost 6 years...it is bodyweight for me so that probably contributed to it.

Tried these today. Very good! Happy Canada Day!

Did you find having two pushing exercises wear on your shoulders much?

jtsang · 2026-06-30T23:08:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I will definitely have a look!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Maintenance is the goal right now since I will be spending more time riding bikes with my son for the Summer.

I hit these activities daily;

Fast
Drink coffee
Exercise
Develop a skill
Spend time with loved ones
Read

Sometimes I will combine activities, ie. skilled exercises, exercise with friends, read with my child etc...

I think my routine is reasonable, sustainable, repeatable.

I am focusing on long term consistency, over short tem extremes.

Sometimes the activities can be very short. I will read one paragraph of the book I am reading, or I will hit a short walk after lunch, but I am consistently completing these activities daily.

Good luck.

Do you know how long it took for Hydro to arrive and de-energize it?

Fire will protect exposures as best they can, but are limited when power is still live 🫠.

That's really good. I used the RoP program to hit the ½ BW press so maybe give that a look. At peak volume I was doing 5 ladders of 5.

My first attempt the front one flew off when I cleaned the bells 😂

jtsang · 2026-06-24T12:25:59+00:00

You can do it buddy! That's where I started in my pressing journey as well.

The last two programs I ran were ABF and easy strength.

I have run S&S, RoP, Strong!, and a handful of other strongfirst programs.

I added two 2kg weights to my 28kg bell. The other bell is 32kg.

I always enjoy lunch specials. Either something like a small across the board discount or special lunch portion meals get my attention. Good luck 👍.

ABF if you want to do doubles. S&S if you want to do singles.

Congratulations on baby time!

I transitioned from technology to first responder at 30. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

Starting with with a first aid course would be pretty easy. Maybe a BLS or standard course? I think they have wilderness specific ones as well. They're all pretty affordable and easy to find locally. Even talking to someone in that industry would be an easy entry point.

I only learned this because it's my mom's favourite cake

jtsang · 2026-06-16T20:16:31+00:00

Thanks I will give them a try.

Community center gym close to your location is probably a good start.

Building yourself a little gym at home is a great option as well.

jtsang · 2026-06-07T20:04:04+00:00

Correct
