As long as everything is improving, you're good! And they are, so you're good!

bench press and OH press are wierd ones. my bench press sucked until 6-8 weeks ago. one minor change in technique and boom, its going up at 5lbs per workout. I think the same will probably hold true for OH press once i start attempting it again. check your form is good. if you feel that something is missing then go on youtube and look up dave tate bench press. he has a tutorial video on correct form which is spot on.
Ive found the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh3t6...eature=related

I'll have to echo Greg's statements. Its all about form. Keeping the lower back arch helped me break through my plateu when trying to break 200

dont forget this is a powerlifting style of lifting and for SS purposes it is spot on. Once you get past SS and start doing hypertrophy workouts to gain further size you'll bench differently, slightly more flat and isolating the pecs more.

Today was a decent workout, i kept overhead press and rows the same as i wanted to work on my form with rows and feel i can only progress on the OH press if i keep the weight the same for two workouts in a row. Pushed the weight up on the squat, i will keep it the same next workout as it felt quite heavy then i can bump up the weights the workout after and set a PR before i leave.
Squat 99x2x5 121x1x5 143x1x3 165x1x2 176x3x5 Overhead press 60.5x2x5 71.5x1x5 82.5x1x3 88x1x2 93.5x3x5 Pendlay rows 105x2x5 115.5x1x5 121x1x3 126.5x1x2 132x3x5

how often do you progress ellingham? reason i ask is cuz last time you did bench it was 121 as well...if your stuck, u need to deload and work back up...all lifts besides squats are done once a week usually in the program..or every 3rd day..you should be progressing faster than this..dont get me wrong, any progress is better than none..maybe u should eat more? how long u been training since your last break? take it slow, but progress should be happening....

Today went well, form was a bit off on some of the reps but it didn't throw me off too much, all the weights went up and i worked up a good sweat by the end of it. Going to have a one week break now but will still be doing some body weight exercises.
Squat 105x2x5 127x1x5 149x1x3 171x1x2 182x3x5 Overhead pres 55x2x5 66x1x5 77x1x3 88x1x2 99x3x5 Pendlay row 88x2x5 99x1x5 110x1x3 121x1x2 138x3x5
