Comments Off on Overhead Presses

Went for a good hike today so just some strength/form work today.

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • 3 x Strict Press with 4 second tempo descent

Then EMOM for 20 minutes alternate

  • Even Minute – 7 x Strict Press @ 65-75% from above
  • Odd Minute – 7 x Barbell Rows

Results: First part 75-85-95-105-110lbs. Second part 75lbs. Could probably have gone heavier on both but wanted to stick to good form and full range of motion.

Thought my shoulder was good enough to do some overhead squats but just wasn’t there, so switched it up on the fly and ended up with this unplanned workout….

Every 90 seconds for 6 minutes (4 rounds)

  • 5 x Standing Sots Press (snatch grip) with open bar

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes work up to a “heavy”

  • 5 x Strict Press

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 10 x Dumbbell Press @ 16kg

Results: For the Strict Press could only manage 110lbs. No metcon since we went for a hike in the mountains….
