A JERK IS A JERK!!!!!!!

Yesterday was an evening of strength. We did the 3 presses: Press, Push Press and Push Jerk.


WOD:
Press: 1-1-1-1-1
Push Press: 3-3-3-3-3
Push Jerk: 5-5-5-5-5

Working with these 3 different presses all at once is nice because you learn really what the difference is between the 3 lifts. As always the press is a mental game for me. I have to literally think it out “ok don’t use the legs, keep your feet flat.” Once we were past the presses, let the fun begin, we can now use our legs.

It was a great PR day for me. I got a new PR on the Press 85#, on the Push Press I tried for a new PR of 110# but failed, so on this lift I will currently stay at 105#. Push Jerk we haven’t done in awhile, I believe for me it was back in June, so woo hoo another PR 110#.

I’m feeling strong. Only thought that runs through my head, is when will I hit my true max. Currently I almost get a new PR by at least 5# almost every time we try a lift again. I know sooner or later I’m going to hit a number and not be able to go any heavier. I’m not looking forward to that day; hopefully it’s a ways down the road.

In the meantime, come on Angels; let’s keep getting stronger.
