“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.

  2. Push Press, 7×3Similar to a Shoulder Press, the Push Press gets it up with a hip "pop"; a slight dip and drive up to overhead lockout. According to strength coach Mark Rippetoe, you can get up to 30% more weight up with the help of the "dip and drive". I was pressed...

  4. Active RestAfter a day of total rest following "Snatcheroni", I wasn't fully recovered enough to get in a complete workout. My traps are still tight and sore. What I did was plenty for tonight, and that was 3 rounds of Burgener followed by 3x15 overhead squats @ 45#. The rest of...
  5. The Clean and Push PressIn my previous post, Rack Pulls, I provided some instruction tips from Beyond Strong. In that same training session last night, preceding the rack pulls, I also did squat cleans and push presses and found these great reasons for doing the clean and push press. He gives the benefits of...
  6. Overhead Squats, 8×3With the gym closing less than 40 minutes after I got there, I had to hurry through a warm-up to get this session in. I succeeded in that and got a 3RM PR in the lift with gas in the tank to go heavier, given more time. I espcially like...
