Happy Birthday [B]Jim![/B]
Nice job on your BS PR [B]Steve[/B].
[B]Scott,[/B] I feel the same on presses, I think thats a hard lift to improve in. One of the trainers in our gym suggested to do progressions on presses for a few weeks to improve it. So he did like 5 sets of 3, of a manageable weight and every week upped the weight 5 lbs, until he could no longer progress, then went back to max effort attempts.... he said it really helped.

6-7-2010
Power snatch 5-5-5-3-3-3

[B]85, 95, 105, 115, 115, 120[/B]

Rest, then

Complete 150 push-ups. Each time you break, sprint 100 m. Keep track of number of breaks. At the end, you owe that many burpees. Your score is number of burpees AND time to completion. The clock stops after 150 push-ups, burpees not included in time.

[B]Time 10:13, 10 breaks, first set 36 unbroken[/B]

Extra work-5 x 15 GHD sit-ups

:rofl: No girls weight even listed; no girl has a muscleup yet - or even a really good dip (mine were getting better, but still limited ROM, then I hurt my shoulder...) Something to shoot for!!

Sounds good. I think I'll try it. How many times a week? I assume at least twice a week?

Once a week can work as well. I am not an expert on linear progression, but have followed it in my programming (not done by me). I increased my front squat 1RM this way by 20lbs.

I saw in a previous post you mentioned that you are doing paleo, thats great, but don't be a afraid to gain weight and eat more, its hard to increase strength if you don't increase muscle mass. Even us old guys can use extra muscle mass.

Here are some links to check out, all WFS.
