“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.
