Strict press day at the Y.
Goal: hit 1 heavy single then peel back to 85% of max for 5 sets of 3.
Fought hard to hit 140#, haven't done that in a while. Was glad once I got it overhead.
Then peel back to 125# (rounded up from 123# which is 85% of 145#), but after 3 sets it was clear I would be able to finish at that weight.
So I made the hard choice to peel back 5# to 120# (so effectively rounding down from 123#, an acceptable alternative), and I was able to complete the last 2 sets without problem.
I think it was the right call, rather than fight and fail at 125#. Given over head is my weak link strengthwise.
I'm happy with that workout.
