Monday’s 3 month 1RM check (shoulder press)

First and for most I want to apologize for the delay in post this week, Tuesday I was very sickly & bed ridden all day due to muscle fatigue, sore throat and nausea, and didn’t have the energy to blog; let alone make it to the gym, so I made Tuesday my rest day. Today I am feeling somewhat better, but now have runny nose and no sore throat, so I will be attending the gym but careful to not overdue anything if it progresses. This whole week will be my 3 month check in for my 1RM’s to make sure I am hitting my mark in each of my lifts. Monday, I started wit the barbell shoulder press — and very happy with the results.

 

Keep in mind, the last time I checked my 1RM was Jan.1st of 2018.

 
 
  • Barbell shoulder press: 90 lb 1-RM (this is 5 lb more than my RM from Jan)
 
  • Push press: 3 x 8-10, 70 lbs

Superset:

  • Seated DB shoulder press: 3 x 8-10, 40lbs
  • Seated DB curl: 3 x 8-10, 50 lbs

Superset:

  • One arm DB bentover rows: 3 x 8-10, 40 lbs

Superset:

  • DB front to lateral raises: 3 x 8-10, 30 lbs
  • Barbell shrugs: 3 x 8-10, 205 lbs

I kept the accessory work moderate weight after doing the core lift

You can assume I have a love for fitness & a love for Wonderwoman -- both assumptions are correct. I am an ACSM certified personal trainer of 8+ years -- I currently reside in Ohio and live a simplistic life at the age of 29. If I am not lifting, I am eating, sleeping, traveling, exploring, or movie watching. I recently moved during a pandemic, now I am focused on self care (self love), building a business of my own in personal training, becoming a professional blogger, starting a podcast and doing things that make me happy! I am a sister, daughter, and loyal friend --- I love everyone's dog and I am on a mission to pet as many dogs as possible everywhere I go! LOL. My mission is to talk health (physical/mental), design programming, motivational speak, learn, grow, prosper, build others and make as many people smile as possible because I want nothing more than to be the change I seek in the world.
