Press Progression 1-3-5  Press-Push press-Push jerk

I have a love/hate with this press progression because my push presses and jerks are way way stronger than my strict press, so I am super limited on the first lift, but work my form on the last 8 reps..
I went with 95, 115, 135, 145, and then tried 155 but failed. Would have been a PR on my strict press but was not happening after the first 4 sets.. triceps were smoked. Good skill work though.. the 145# felt solid.

WOD - "Tabatarama"

Tabata segments of:

Bottom to Bottom Air Squats

Row Calories

Jumping scissor lunges

Double Unders

Tabata is super humbling for me. Those 7th and 8th rounds.. yikes.. such a mental grinder.

I was able to start out with 15 squats for the first half and slowly digressed to 12 per segment as my legs started to burn. This hurt a surprising amount, in a good way.
The Rowing I sort of gamed it and managed to get 6 calories per segment with 7-8 hard, long pulls.. I tried to stay really efficient on these.
Lunges were a burner as well, youch. I started out with 20 no problem and thought that was maintainable.. I was wrong.. Ended up with 14 per segment by the last couple.. Snuck up on me.
Double unders hardly worked today, my legs were useless lumps by the time I got to the end.. I got about 20 per segment for 6 of the 8 rounds, but 2 of them sucked, like 13 or 14.. I should really be able to get like 30 or more on this when I am fresh, but my legs were just screaming during the second half of this..

Good WOD..
