Primary Lift

PUSH PRESS
*this week, we are 1 rep maxing all the major muscle groups. I've personally NEVER done a true 1 RM test, so there is definitely a learning curve. There are so many ways to go about it, still searching for what is the best method. Getting closer by doing less reps on the way up.

95lbs x 10 reps
135lbs x 5 reps
155lbs x 3 reps
190lbs x 1 reps (PR)
205lbs FAIL
195lbs x 1 rep
200lbs x 1 rep
205lbs FAIL

It's only been about 3 weeks since I started doing these again (started at a high of 115lbs!). The last time I did them was in High School (about 18 years ago) when my brother was in football. It seemed that the Push Press was a big thing to do for football players(?). Anyway, I remember doing 135lbs in my parent's basement, losing it as I lowered the weight and it slammed into the wall making a huge hole that I was subsequently privileged to learn how to patch drywall because of. LOL


Then, to finish off the day:
