Shoulder press

1 x 50kg
1 x 50kg
1 x 50kg

3 x 57.5kg
2 x 57.5kg
3 x 57.5kg
( Realised it was 5 sets so stopped)

Push-jerk
5 x 55kg - PB and much better form than last time. Olympic lift practise pays off!
4 x 55kg - but I'm running out of steam
And my back wouldn't take any more.

I (re)injured it last time I did these, arching too much and at the end tonight I reached the point where I couldn't keep my core tight enough. It would have helped if I'd done the right number of sets of the first two!

Two PBs and proof that I'm getting a much more vertical jerk, so that's good enough. For now.
I'm convinced I should be able to push jerk more than I can push-press. I can feel it. I nearly had it tonight.

Osteopath on Saturday. I hope I hold together that long.
