Push Presses - not so great, actually

Warmup: Run 800m (5:16), 17 burpees, tabata pushups (4), burgener warmup w/dowel, 30 OHS, 20 push press. 10 weighted push press 30#

The tabata pushups were SUCH a joke. Round one I got 9 full ROM (after a false start where I got 4 or 5 done) and I thought i was taking it slow ... Round two - 2 full ROM 4 with knees. By the end I was struggling just to get 4 using my knees.

WOD:
Pushpress
5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1
45-45-50-50-50-55(PR)-60(f)

Today's workout was Push Presses - just like yesterday was dead lifts. Unfortunately, it did not go as well as yesterday's exercise. My shoulders are on strike, or something. Even just the empty oly bar felt a whole lot heavier today than it did the last time I did this.

However, I apparently misremembered - I thought I had push pressed 60# before, but 50# is the most I've ever done. So at least I didn't backslide like i did on the bench press.

After the workout some folks did 50 wall balls for time. I tried a few just to see whether I could do them, and had a really hard time with them. I took the ball inside and did pretty well - i think the marks inside might be a little lower. Mostly what I need to do is just practice the movement of throwing and catching it without worrying about the height. I suspect that will come easier once the form is dialed.

Still, I am glad I was out there and for all the performance issues, I still feel like I had a good workout.
