Well, that was an interesting weekend! Fabio is a great presenter, and the Built Strong material is deep.
When signing up for the workshop, I missed the fact that this programming is designed for intermediate + lifters. By that, Fabio meant "meets SFL standards". I went to look those up, and nope, I'm not there. Back when training barbells regularly, I met a couple of the lower-body standards and came within 7% of the 1RM DL number. My presses, on the other hand, have never been that close.
Decided to test my 5RMs on the 4 tested lifts (MP, DL, squat, and floor press instead of bench) last night, and of course all my numbers are down relative to previous bests. Presses in particular around 75% of what they should be.
So, my current thinking is to spend some time getting stronger in the barbell lifts, with an emphasis on pressing. Juggling a few programming options, leaning towards a maximal version of 3 to 5, going with 5x5 in the bridge press, deadlift, and pendlay row for shoulder health. Once the DL & BP get closer to where I want, I can reassess how to get to the finish line.
