Meet The Press

Busy day at work. I was pumped to lift but right off the bat I wasn't feeling fresh. My back was kind of tight from deadlifts the day before. I still did pretty well.

1x3 @ 160#

1x4 @ 180#

Conditioning

Row 1800m

6:59

Overall I am happy with my shoulder press but I know I probably could have done 5 reps with 180# on a great day. My bar path was a little loopy and I know this caused some extra fatigue. Again, with the shrugs I used a light weight, made sure I got full ROM and held at the top. I like this better then the clean pulls I was doing with 315#, I still plan on switching between the two. The 1800m row was plenty. I maintained about a 1:58 pace which is about 70% effort, which is perfect. My goal here is to increase my lung capacity, not to kill myself.

Dinner
