“One” was pressed.
Not getting enough sleep will wreak havoc on a good training session and that is what happened today. In a workout that seemed to last for hours, my ass was dragging. I was to have a training partner for tonight but he was a no-show and it was just as well.
I changed my workout a couple of times during an extended warm-up and settled on Overhead Presses, Push Presses and Push Jerks.
For the long warm-up I had a good mixture of exercises,
Ring Push-ups: 25/25/25
Back Extensions: 25/25/25
Sit-ups: 35/35/35
Dislocates/Overead Squats: 15/15/15
Dips: 10/10/10
Ring Body Rows: 10
Burgener Warm-ups x 3
Overhead Presses, 5×5, from the ground up: 90/110/120/130/135.
Push Press, 5×3: 110/120/130/140/155/175.
Push Jerk, 3×3: 100/120/135/160/90.
As long as the warm-up was, the presses seemed to take even longer. Clearly, I was in no big hurry. It did end up a decent session.

I did a Crossfit WOD tonight which covered three types of overhead presses, the military press, the push press and the push jerk, which I have trouble with on the lock-out at the top.
This was a relatively slow-paced and enjoyable session of overhead lifting.
Overhead Press, singles: 135/145/155/160/165/170.
Push Press, x 3: 95/135/155/165/170.
Push Jerk, x 5: 95/115/135/145/145.
Clearly, I need a lot of technique work on the push jerk if I am going to get those numbers up.

I guess that is an oxymoron, but while waiting for Valerie to warm-up while I put her through a workout we call the “Biscuit Burner”.
During my wait, I did 3 sets of the Burgener warm-up and some rope jumping.
To practice some Oly lifts, I did 5 sets of 3 reps of Squat Cleans + Push Jerks and kept it light.
45/55/95/105/115.
That did it for me.
