WOD
Push Jerks - 5x3
I warmed up a bit and got everything overhead in working order.. Shoulders have felt pretty solid recently..
I know these multi-rep heavy jerks usually smoke my wrists (just from the return-down impact) so I wore some wrist wraps throughout.
I warmed up a little with 95 just to get going and then got into my working sets.
135x5, 165x3, 185x3, 195x3, 205x3.. Then I sort of ran out of time.. I was sort of in the way of the 6PM class on my last set and had to meet someone for dinner pre-Celtics game so I hightailed out..
I am fairly happy with this. for 2 reasons..
I have not done a lot of heavy overhead work of late (some strict presses, but not a lot of heavy jerks).. and this was the same weight I was able to do about 3 months ago when I was doing a lot more of this lifting.. So.. win..
My core seemed to be the limiting reagent on these lifts though to be honest.. My 3rd rep on both the 195 set and the 205 set were really wobbly at the top and I struggled to get the weight stabilized overhead (picture like a drunk guy trying to sling an empty keg over head and stumbling around.. that was me)....
I got them both eventually, but I would not have called them pretty by any stretch..
