Behind The Neck Work

Nasty freezing rain last night. In at 10am with Kevin and Michelle.

Warm-up

• 3:00 Jump Rope (unbroken)
• 45# Clean Positions Warm-up

OLY

• 2 Clean Pulls
• 1 Power Clean
• 1 Front Squat

It wasn’t exactly that each time, but always at least those reps.

95-115-135-155-175-185-185-185-185

Strength

Behind the neck Split Jerks

• 3 @ 95#
• 3 @ 115#
• 3 @ 135#
• 3 @ 155#
• 4 @ 155#
• 3 @ 155#

Behind the neck Push Presses

• 3 @ 155#
• 3 @ 165#
• 3 @ 175#
• 3 @ 185#
• 2 @ 195#
• 2 @ 205#

I’m still really hesitant bringing heavy loads down to my back, but got more comfortable today due to the number of reps between the jerks and push presses. Felt pretty good about the weight, so decided to shoot for a front rack push press PR.

Push Press

• 225# (PR)
• F @ 235#
• 230# (PR)

Beats my old 215# PR. I missed 235# because it was too far out front. Concentrated on a big leg drink and getting the bar back as fast as possible with 230#.

Gymnastics

After an hour of OH work, why not burn the shoulders some more, right? Did 3 handstand holds facing the wall with a wall walk to get in place. The goal was 1:00, but had to drop after 40 seconds on the second one. Held on for it on the 3rd though. We rested 2:00 between each one.
