Re: press/weight loss

Wonder if you heard from her before her husband? Bad Josh!
His numbers are really not very high in the lower body lifts relative to BW as you know. They are good, not great. I personally only had a 7-8 month rotation cuff thing in 96 and still loose pressing strength 2x faster than lower. Can't say why this is. But my best guess is that when calories decrease (stored and ingested) than adaptive energy and neurological energy decrease. That would assume a hierarchy of adaptation at least in every individual that more than likely is modified a bit by training, habits and ones personal priorities. So how do we fix? Defends; if the DL was plummeting, I say spread it out and don't do it so often. If it were the squat I would look at the conditioning time and possibly reduce the running. For the OHP and BP, I would stop dividing my time between the two and do that one twice a week  Plus a 5-20% over OHP push press day day emphasizing s slow eccentric. Might have to pull back in other areas to divert adaptive energy to the Press as well.
What you think?
