Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Warm-up with two empty bar sets of 5 reps and one light set of 5 reps before starting your first work set of 5. These are progressive sets where the last set should be your heaviest.
Post weights used to comments/Logwod.
I call this picture "The Impossible Setup." It looks as though Jess J. is trying to set up for a dead-lift with shrunken weights. Impossible, right?
Any opinions on working out while sick...does it help or hurt?
I took a barbell to the chin this morning too so it must be going around. Noon and afternoon classes should beware!
Way to push it this morning Sue, or should I say Jerk it!
Mark, I also got hit in the chin and Sue got it in the head. I think we have a pozest bar at CFO.
Great job 5am'ers! Celeste, it was good to do a "strength class" with you again....oh, memories! Good memories.
I finished with 77#. They weren't that heavy, but my shoulder just wasn't having it today. Thanks for making me feel better about my lift, Ron... Great job nooners!
Working out while sick. The way I see it, it gets your mind off of the aches and pains of being sick. I've been fighting a nasty cold myself and coming in Saturday for the Games WOD I think helped move a bunch of the crap out of my chest. Same with doing Strength Class last night. Granted, my coughing got worse for a day or so, but the sore throat and grogginess is gone...
Heavy plus heavy metcon with a little grip endurance work twist to it...
Push Press - 2RM - Dont have one but I've done 229# for 1 a while back...
