Press-o-rama

Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

SP: 87-92-95-100(PR)-105(f)-105(f)-100
PP: 92-92-95-100(PR)-107(PR)
PJ: 85-92(PR)-97(PR)-97(PR)-102(PR!)

It's been two months since I last did this workout (May 7), and I have clearly made strides in strength and confidence. I'm a bit sad that my 1RM for the shoulder press only went up 5 pounds, but I was close on those 105's, and the 100 felt pretty solid. I felt I could have gone even higher with the push-press and push-jerks muscularly, but my wrists were really killing me, and the negatives to bring the bar back down to my shoulders were really stressing my muscles out.

Sorry I was not available to coach you. I can show you how to ameliorate the negative. 5% increase in the press in that amount of time is fine.
