I stalled today, in a big way. 3 reps of 150 on set 1, I quit after that. Finished the workout super setting hang cleans with 170x3 and db press with 40s for 8 reps, 5 sets of each.0

Well, I too stalled tonight at 155lbs. Could only get 5,5,5,4,2. I knew it was coming because 150 was very tough, but I eeked that one out. I even upped my calories this week as the weight for all the other lifts are starting to push my limits. Deadlifts were also on the tough side for me tonight as I never have done deadlifts until this program. I might have another week or two on those before I really have problems.0

Well, knew it would come soon on this one, but OHP will be my first deload. I don't know if it's because I cut my calories back a bit(weight loss is my primary goal right now over getting strong quicker) or just not getting fully recovered due to being into heavier bench presses on Workout A, but will have to scale back to 140lbs and work back up for my next Workout B. I also did a self imposed deload on rows to fix a major form issue I overlooked.0 -
At first i hated overhead press because i kept failing at it. But i gotta say, even though i fail often when i advance weight, it is my favorite exercise now. I really like the feeling i have after doing it. Totally worn out and strong feeling at the same time. Big fan.0
