TRAINING:
part 1:
A. Press - build to a tough single in no more than 5 sets from empty bar - rest as needed
B. Push Press - build to an easy triple in 3 sets max - rest as needed
C. Split Jerk - build to a tough single in no more than 5 sets max - rest as needed
rest 6+ hours
part 2:
5 sets:
Row 350 m @ 95% effort
breathe 10 times
30 unbroken back extensions
rest 5 min actively walking
Results:
part 1:
A. 95#, 115# (f), 105#, 110# (f)
B. Misread directions; I built up to a heavy single Push Press: 125#, 135#, 145#, 150# (f)x 2
C. 160#, 170#, 175# (failed behind)
*145# is a Push-Press PR! 170# is a tied PR for my Split Jerk but this time it felt and looked a lot better. My arms were fully extended in the bottom of my dip, I did not press the weight out. I felt like I had forgotten what I was doing, then all of a sudden I had 170# above my head in what is probably one of my best split jerks I have ever done at a heavy weight.
(No time for a rest between part 1 & part 2 today, did them back-to-back)
