5x8 pull-ups in the morning and 100 burpees at night yesterday.
Today-
Push-press/jerk- 95/115/135/155lbx5
Not difficult.
DB OHP- 50lb, 3x6, 1x7
First set felt awfully stiff, then it got smoother and smoother with each set.
I’m trying something new cause it feels like the press, as always, is stagnating. Getting the push-jerk up didn’t seem to help my OHP at first, but I did notice that I got my max press of 155lb only sometime after push-jerking 185lb, so there must be a connection. DB OHP just to do something new.
I use push-press/jerk interchangeably because the only difference for me is how much leg drive I end up giving it.
RFESS-
BWx10
2 10lb DBs- 3x10
Need to work on balance.
DB bench-
60lbx5, 80lb, 1x5/4, 70lb, 2x7
I wanted to find a weight that I could do a moderately challenging 4x6 with. In hindsight I fell into the same trap as before. 60lb felt so easy that I figured I must be able to do 80lb. Unfortunately I cannot do it for multiple sets of 5. Dropped to 70lb.
Batwing row- 3x12
5 sets of-
5x(2xburpee, 1xNG pull-up)
5 sets of-
2x(5xburpee, 1xNG pull-up)
Minute rest between each set.
Wanted to break from doing 100 straight burpees and figured throwing pull-ups in would be the natural thing to do. Initially started with the 2xburpee, 1xpull-up to see how it felt. The trouble is that the pull-up bar at the gym is really high up and I need to jump to reach it. It gets tiring after a while, hahahahaha…
Switched to 5xburpee, 1xNG pull-ups because it started to take longer than I wanted.
Also want to note that I recently settled into a pattern of taking a big breath of air after each rep of burpee. This seemed to get me into a groove of doing nonstop burpees. The total number I can do is increasing. Something like 35ish->42ish->Now somewhere between 50-60.
For these burpees I went as fast as I can. Didn’t cause a problem at all during the 5xburpee, 1xNG pull-up sets, so I figure my burpee endurance has increased.
