Update - up a notch

It's been a while since an update. Everything has been going up a notch. Adding a personal training is invaluable. Even if you are already very knowledgeable about form, regimens, and how to add strength, having someone remind you that you are not really at your limit yet makes a huge difference.

You can do more.

So, I've been doing:
More overhead work: OH squats, OH lunges, snatches, jump squats, heavy squats.

On the weekend we are working on rockclimbing - all new, but demanding for functional strength and a good strength/weight ratio.

Today:
Run the rack DB military press: 50x3, 45x6, 40x8, 35x10, 30x10, 50x3, 50x3
OH reverse lunges: 75 x 10, 10, 10, 10
OH squats: 75 x 5, 10, 10
BW dips: 12, 12, 12, 12
BW pullups 6, 6, 6, 6
Oblique lifts - 10, 10, 10 (OLY bar)
