Fun Fast Friday

Push Press
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

5 rounds:
45sec, max pull-ups (unbroken sets of 5)
90 sec rest

Did this with Chris... we had a full class so we weren't able to snag a power rack, it took us longer to get set-up, and we weren't quite able to finish all 10 push-press. Warmed up with the bar, 115, and 135. then started with 155 for my first round. Unfortunately I couldn't get 165 next. Tried it twice actually. So I dropped back down to 155. Got it. Threw on 160. Got it. Then threw the 165 back on and got that. Weird. My form was all over the place. But I finally got it locked down with the bar in full contact with my shoulders and a good, fast hip pop. It really helped me to take an extra deep breath and push my belly out to lock-in my spine. My former 1RM is 175 so I'm sorry I didn't throw at least that up today... but I think I could have gotten it (after getting locked in) had we had more time.

On the pull-ups I did 5-4-4-4-4... that's sets of 5, so we get a grand total of  105.
Also did 3x5 of strict press at 95 to finish things off.

Weight: 167.0
