Hit Them Shoulders Hard

My low back and trips are pretty spicy from yesterday. Went in for the noon class.

Warm-up

  • 2m Jump Rope
  • 2 Rounds
    • 2 Shoulder Press
    • 2 Push Press
    • 2 Push Jerk
    • 2 Split Jerk
  • 5 Pause Push Jerks
  • 5 Pause Split Jerks
  • 5 Jerk Footwork

Used an empty 45# bar for everything. Shoulders were nice and warmed up after this!

Strength

5 Sets

  • 1 Shoulder Press
  • 3 Push Press
  • Max Jerks
  • 2m Rest

This is superset week. 🙂

Weight Shoulder Press Push Presses Jerks
95# 1 3 16
105# 1 3 12
125# 1 3 6
135# 1 3 4
140# 1 3 5

Wow! Nowhere near my 1RM of 160# on the shoulder press, but that’s a lot of volume with the push presses and the jerks.

WOD

12:00

  • 800m Run (buy-in)
  • AMRAP
    • 5 Curtis Ps (95#)
    • 30 DU (unbroken)

The run really gets you. I missed about 6 times in my 2nd round of double unders, twice in the 20s and one at 27 unbroken. Ugh!! That took a lot of time and winded me bad. I finished with 3 complete rounds plus 5 Curtis Ps.

Tomorrow I’m resting. It’s been a brutal few days.
