@equinelover Thanks. Shows that these programs work exactly as written!!!

@mattt Some people do S&S six days a week and recover fine after working up to it. I think what you're proposing will be easier on the body than dry fighting weight

@maxdspl You're doing one day of legs and four days upper body. And training chest/tris/ shoulders back to back. Makes zero sense at all. Given that I'd also post your exercises sets and reps as you may need help there too

@ifelove007 Looks fine but your rep ranges for some movements are very weird. KB swings or favepulls for a 1RM? I also think doing an U/L split or 3x full body would be simpler/ better given your schedule.

@mac64 Buy a good lifting belt and just use a cheap backpack until you can afford the dip belt.

@jackier293 Thank you! Will do :)

@kennyseg Haha, so are you saying bodyweight exercises got you there? Or you abandoned the path? :D

@jackier293 Thank you! Great suggestions. I'll try ROP with a 28, then a 32 if I can (otherwise a round of soju and tuba with the 32 first), then maybe Zsolt to get from 32 to 40 if I can.

@jackier293 Thank you. I might do another run of ROP before putting single arm on maintenance and moving back to a doubles program a bell size up.

@monstershouter I've found it wayyyyyy harder. The fact both both arms are going in unison enforces absolute strict form. It's a different pressing groove. You can't manipulate your body around the bell in the same way. Another poster on this thread said they can do 9 reps with a single 32 but...

I'm hoping to get some help with my programming. I can currently military press a single 28 x 5 strict reps, and strict military press 2 x 24s for 6 strict reps (I can do 9 strict clean and press with the 2 x 24s I guess because my shoulders get a micro rest during the clean portion?) My goal...

@dawn16 Do you mind giving a brief example of how you ran your bro splits? (Rough # of exercises, sets, etc)

@ant0099 Thank you that sounds like a good method. Push presses with the heavy weight strict with a lighter one. You're strong AF!

@nyeung Dang great job. So rop with 28 more than doubled your rep count with a single 32c and unlocked the double 32. Nice job!!!

@nac27 Yes he calls it the strong arm and the stronger arm. I know that. I just assumed TS meant stronger arm in this context. But my point stands. For max effort testing he recommends using the stronger arm first for a neurological primer before testing the strong arm.

@cheung He does specify how many times... 2-4, even more if they're recovering.

From beginning to end, what was your pathway to pressing the double 32s? (Or any other heavy pair). What program/s did you follow? How strong were you when you started? How long did it take? Pressing the 32s is my current life mission - hence my survey of this amazing sub. I'm currently on...

@jekyll Thank you for the resources and knowledge drop. I'm going to read through. I definitely don't have an opinion on this stuff one way or another, just trying to convey what S&S says. For my own training I tend to stick to more conventional sets and rep ranges, sets of 5x5 presses, high...

@charliehcf I'm not saying I necessarily agree with everything Pavel says - I'm not qualified to determine that as I don't have a science degree. But here's what he says to the best of my recollection: He says strong arm first because he believes there's some neurological priming that goes on...

@equinelover Thank you! Please keep your updates coming because they are honestly inspiring and give a lot of people an idea of what to strive for :)
