Push press

3-3-3-3-3

Complete one set of max pull-ups

Push press

3-3-3-3-3

Choose a load for the push press that is near 90% of your 1 rep maximum effort for the push press. Keep this weight for all sets and after the pull-ups go back to the push press and attempt to complete all five sets with the same weight.



The correct path of the push press.

Amy,

Done with 85# and improving form; almost got one real pullup and then did a bunch of jumping ones. Kept the weight the same for all remaining sets.

Thanks to Nigel for correcting my form. A lot of valid points there. Appreciated it.

So crazy out of it this morning. First round with 75# then only 7 semi-jumping-mostly-pulling pull-ups and then the second round at 85#. Did push jerks and then presses, when I got the form right.
Need to re-visit this thing you people call 'push press'.

Push press was 95#, 21 pull-ups each set.

Astonished to see Toby handle the weight as though it was a popsicle stick.

Once again, humbled by Crossfit. Oh, and I was a tad late.

1st set 55# with 10 jumping pull ups and finished with 65# - first time with the push press. Need to work on form to prevent Neil from hurting me with the PVC piping. Thanks for all the encouragement Nigel. :)

160 before pullups.

150 for three sets and then 145 for rest after pulls.
