Fitness Log 2013-09-20: Press, Front Squat, etc.

Press

• Warmup: 45 lbs x 5, 60 x 5, 75 x 3, 100 x 2, 115 x 1
• 130 x 5, 5, 10 (Rep PR)
• 137.5 x 1
• 145 x 1
• 152.5 x 1
• 160 x 0

Spectacular rep PR at 130 for the press.  Any sign of progress with the press is great and this was just beyond expectations.  The last time I did 130, I only got 6 reps.  That was down from a number of prior sessions with 130 where I managed to get 7 reps.  So hitting 10 today destroyed both of these and shows my press is now moving in the right direction with fury.

I initially planned to cut the 130 to 3×5 and then go for some heavy singles but I felt inspired on the last set and went all out to 10.  That left me a bit fatigued for the singles but I still got some quality reps in despite missing out on matching my former PR of 160.

Front Squat

• 135 x 5
• 165 x 5
• 185 x 5
• 205 x 5
• 215 x 5 (5RM PR?)
• 230 x 1
• 250 x X

Did these a day early.  I’m pretty sure the 215 is a 5 RM PR.    Didn’t get anywhere close to a new 1 RM but my legs were pretty tired at this point.
