Since Crossfit was closed today, I made sure to get to the Y.
Decided to work overhead. After going my new thoracic mobility drills to replace the bretzel, I started going some strict press and jerks.
Started doing 3 press + 3 split jerks at 65#, 95# and at 115# I did 3 sets.
I skipped the strict press on the last set and then started adding weight for just jerks triples. Did 135#, 165#, 185# for a double and finally 205#.
The first rep at 185# failed to lock out, caught it a bit forward but I somehow managed to catch it in a front rack while still in a split. Tried again and got it.
Same thing happened at 205#, except even the second time I failed and dropped.
I gave it one more go, with pointers from Dave to keep my dip more upright so the bar wouldn't drive forward, and a firm commitment to get under it, I caught it.
My shoulders were a bit fatigued by now so it was really hard to keep it stable as I stood it up, but it was there.
I hesitated a bit on whether to try again, since I didn't want to go any heavier and saw no point in repeating the 205#, so I called it a day.
Dave suggested peeling back for some doubles, so I tried 185# and failed to lock the second one and dropped again. Then I was done.
Felt good until it got heavy.
