Strength:
Bench press 3-3-3-3-3

Conditioning:
For time:
15 push press (135/95)
50 burpees
15 push press

Yes, these are heavy push presses...that's the idea. If you need to scale, choose a weight that will really challenge you, not something that you can easily do for 15 reps. Remember to use your hips to create the lift off your shoulders, then the arms follow through and complete the press.

  1. Just double checking. These are push presses and not push jerks? Dang, that really is some serious weight. I'm thinking the last fifteen are going to be pure hell. Should the plan be to choose a weight that we can do 15 without breaking them down or a weight that we might have to break them down into 3 sets of 5. Thoughts?

  2. Mary,

    Go heavy. The weight should be something that really challenges you, so yes, you may have to break them down into sets.
