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.
