Haven't maxed out my shoulder press since May 2011 . I haven't done much overhead pressing (except for HSPUs) in the last several months so I wanted to see where I was. I was pleasanty pleased to hit a 10lb PR!

5x125lbs, 3x130lbs, 2x135lbs, 5x130lbs, 3x140lbs, 2x 150lbs (more like 31X3 on the last one.)
Pause at the bottom could definitely be longer. Will look to improve upon this & my posture next time!

Round 1

Round 2

Round 3

Amber adjusted my snatch grip (moving it out wider) right at the end of my warm-up when I was already at 105 (103lbs w/15kg bar). It felt odd, but more powerful & I stopped hitting the bar on my thighs. My first round was the slowest as I had quite a few misses overhead with 2 going behind me. i feel like I'm generating more power with this wider grip & wasn't quite prepared to handle it. Was good practice.


7:00pm
Lululemon KB event downtown. We had over 80 come out for 100 swings & squats with a partner. (each does 100) Swung 35lb bell & did sets of 35, 35, 30. Squats were I think 50, 35, 15. No chalk & now I have some blood blisters under my middle finger on both hands. This has not been the best week for my hands!

Post Tuesday's MU rip.
