Pushin’

Yesterday, Big Dave asked me if I could come in for a WOD. I think that he only wanted me to do a Tabata Run, but he told me to jump in on the strength WOD first. It was:

  • 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1: Strict Press
  • 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3: Push Press
  • 5 – 5 – 5 – 5 – 5: Push Jerk

My numbers came out like this:

  1 2 3 4 5
SP 115# 135# 155# 165# 175#
PP 135# 145# 155# 165# 175#
PJ 155# 165# 175# 180# 185#

I was really happy with these results and I think that next time, I will go for heavier weights on the push presses and jerks. V posted some videos of my last 2 sets of push jerks. In case you are interested, here they are. I don’t know which is which:

The above was followed up with a Tabata Run on the treadmill. Thank goodness Dave stayed there the whole time. I was breathing REALLY hard around round 6 and probably would have rested more if not for his coaching.
