Fitness Log 2013-11-15: Press (PR!), etc.

Press

• Warmup: 45 lbs x 5, 65 x 5, 80 x 5, 95 x 3, 110 x 2, 125 x 1
• 142.5 x 5, 5, 5
• 147.5 x 1
• 157.5 x 1
• 167.5 x 1 (PR!)

The PRs were dropping like flies this week.  Not bad hitting PRs in deadlift, squat, bench, and press all in a 6-day span.

I really did not expect this one. I didn’t go in feeling particularly motivated and the sets of 5 all felt heavy.  The 167.5 didn’t go up easy but it went up.  I had to shuffle my feet a bit mid-rep to keep under the bar — not the most elegant demonstration of form but I am confident the rep itself was strictly pressed.
