Over Head. Again. And Again.

Warm Up:

• double unders
• handstand holds
• hollow rocks

Today was about lifting overhead, starting with the shoulder press, then the push press, then the jerk. That's a lot of shoulder action, but a cool progression nonetheless.

Shoulder Press (in sets of 1):
20 kg
30 kg
35 kg
37.5 kg
40kg
42.5kg

Push Press (in sets of 3s):
20 kg
30 kg
35 kg
40 kg
45 kg

Split Jerks (in sets of 5s):
20 kg
25 kg
35 kg
40 kg
45 kg
50 kg (I did this set twice because I'm either brilliant or didn't up the weights when I thought I had)
55 kg 

Here's a video me doing the jerks. I'm really glad I filmed it because I can see I was moving much faster than I thought. As I was doing the actual movement, I felt like I was taking forever to come out of the split, when it appears the case is actually the opposite. I'm not stable enough yet to be coming in. I believe this video is of the set of 45 or 50kgs, so perhaps it's not heavy enough for me to need to establish stability yet, but nonetheless I should have been. 

Oh, and rotate computer for proper angle. Another case of brawn over brains. Can't figure out how to do it on here. Winning. 

WOD:
