Progressing from 16 to 20s

[danit1999]

Once a week I did 7 sets of 20kg push press. Another day I would do z press 5 sets of 16kg. Took me four months but today I can finally z press those 20s. Such a great feeling of accomplishment.

@danit1999 I knew this day would come. Congrats on the progress! Your hard work is paying off.

@proverbs31an Thx. I worked hard but only did a total of 20 pressing sets (including warm ups) a week. Is that why it took 4 months and not sooner? If it helps I am training for strength not endurance.

@danit1999 What's a "z press"?

 

[hunter101]

@dawn16 You sit on the ground, and you press.

@hunter101 Ah, that one. That's super hard. Nice work!

 

[hunter101]

@danit1999 Nice! Good job

 

[danit1999]

@hunter101 Thanks so much. It was a personal mini goal. The big goal is to be able to press 32s then I can "retire"

@danit1999 Amazing progress

 

[danit1999]

@ant0099 Slow progress but thanks. How many reps on Z press should make me want to go up to 24s?

 

[ant0099]

@danit1999 I have absolutely no clue. Maybe a set of 6 or something

 

[danit1999]

@ant0099 That's a good target thanks
