SWOD:
Bench Press: 95x5, 120x3, 140x3, 175x2, 190x1, 190x3x5 (failed 5th rep on 3rd set)
I had worked up to 210x3x5 in my bench press progression, however I felt that I was using way too much "chest bump" and found that my feet were coming way off the ground in order to finish my reps. In short, I was cheating big time. So I dropped weight 20# and focused on a strict bench press...and still failed! But it's a much better starting point and I feel much better about my range of motion.
Metcon:
"Mary"
20:00 AMRAP of:
-5 HSPU
-10 Pistols Squats (alternate each rep)
-15 Pullups
5 Rounds + 5 HSPU + 10 Pistols + 1 Pullup
Aside from the pullups, this workout identifies my biggest weaknesses. No matter how much I work overhead strength on the barbell, my HSPU's are just not improving. But notice that I haven't been working on HSPU's to improve my HSPU's. I've been working the barbell to improve them. Basically I've been looking for ways to avoid my weaknesses. Pretty pathetic! I need to start flipping upside down and getting my work in.
