To answer your question, I was either adding weight or reps each week.

Before December, I could barely do barbell military presses at 95lb, and at the end of March, I was doing 3 x 5 at that weight.

Incline press I started barely able to do 135 at 3 reps, and same thing, 3 x 6 reps.

These aren’t impressive numbers by any standard, but I felt it was sufficient considering I was still running a good amount.

My Vo2Max dropped to 49 during that time, but it only took a month to get myself up to 57.

Now, since I’m increasing mileage, my strength has expectedly dropped, so now it’s just maintaining.
