Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps
Shoulder press
1 x 40kg
1 x 55kg - failed - misloaded, thought I was doing 45kg, prat!
1 x 50kg - equals all time PB
1 x 50kg
1 x 52.5kg - failed, but I gave it a bloody good shot!
Push-press
3 x 52.5kg
3 x 55kg
3 x 57.5kg
3 x 57.5kg
3 x 57.5kg
All PBs, even for a single. Never had that much weight over my head before. Ever.
Push-jerk
1 x 57.5kg - failure to launch. Complete lack of technique.
5 x 50kg - struggling
5 x 50kg - better
5 x 50kg - got it!
5 x 50kg - got it!
4 x 50kg + 2 failed attempts - too confident, should have waited longer after the last set.
Tweaked my back slightly somewhere in there too, probably early on. Not staying tight enough.
I don't think I've ever done push jerks before?
The difference was in catching what for me is a heavy weight over head, with emphasis on the catch. The weight goes up easily, it's getting everything lined up to catch it that tripped me up.
I didn't video it. I was going to, put a white shirt on and everything!
As per LauraR's suggestion, I will work on push jerks with a reasonable load to get more comfortable with the movement. I was really shocked at how badly I did with the push jerks, I was hoping for 60kg, which would have been a HUGE breakthrough!
