Plan Strong 501G Press Test: 40 kg x 1@ solid single with good tempo. Did not require 100% effort. Not even close to pressing 44kg. Possibly less close than when I started this plan. I followed this plan with 100% compliance. Every session, every rep, every rest, every 30+ minute break exactly as prescribed.
Pull-up Test: +40 kg pull-up. This was a lifetime PR. At the start of this 8-week plan my 1RM was 32 kg. Previous PR was +36kg, but at a lighter BW. Clear progress was made on this plan. I was feeling exceptionally strong in the warm-up and on the Wednesday taper session. The +36kg pull-up was surprisingly easy so I went for the +40kg and got it.
