I feel my main lifts are getting faster and easier I kept the deadlift at the same rest periods this week at 1min 45secs while the bench press i reduced the rest period by 15 seconds down to 1.5 minutes the last rep of the last set was a bit of a grinder on the bench press ill keep the rest period the same this week.

The rest period was also reduced on the squats this week down to 1 min 15 seconds these still felt pretty fast although towards the end of the 5×5 I felt really worked ill probably bring these down to 1 minute this week.

On my other pressing day I tried the overhead press instead of the seated military press, The overhead press is a horrible lift for me because of my long arms, I managed a single of 60 kilos then 50 kilos for a set of 10 and 5 I then lowered the weight to 45k for a set of 8 and 6 (all with 1.5 minutes rest) I might use the base building bench press model on the overhead press for a few weeks and see what happens, it would be nice to push my strength up on this lift.

Assistance work was all up this week either in weight or reps except dips which seem to have gone down over the last three weeks this could be down to lowering the rest periods inbetween the bench press and increasing the incline db presses which I do before the dips.
