Crossfit 080701

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 = 120/125/130/130(f -mental)/130 - will start at 130 next time
PP = 135/140/140/140/145 - will start at 140 next time
PJ = 135/140(4, f on 5)/135 (4, f on 5 - mental)/135 (3, f on 4)/125(dropped weight to work on form) - will start at 130 next time.

Compare to 080503:
115/155/120/120/125f
125/125/125/125/130f
135/135f(4)/130f(4)/130/125

Benchmark 500m row, damper @ 5.5 = 135.6 held just below 135 pace for most of the 500m but I couldn't hold pace over the last 20 sec or so. My goal for this benchmark is 130.0



Now that I have blogged all of the numbers for this workout I figured I would mention how it felt. I have been disappointed lately by my shoulder strength and I finally feel like it is improving. I realized after doing the push press that I wasn't positive on my form for the push jerk so I dropped the weight. Thank god I did because my shoulders where spent, even with 90-120 seconds rest between sets I struggled with the weight. I am getting closer to my goal of 160(BW) shoulder press. Maybe in 3-6 months I will be there. I did various ab work between sets.
