1/20 – Push Press 5-3-1

Real solid session tonight. I was never able to really ‘wake up’ for this one. No real adrenaline rush or excitement like I can usually generate for a workout like this, for whatever reason, so I had to just dig deep and grind through it all. Lots of lingering fatigue in my legs and back from squatting on Wednesday, and lots of wrist/ankle/shin/calf fatigue from high frequency drum sessions this week. All in all, I was still able to hit a real nice PR, 275×2. Almost had the third rep. Completely fresh and ‘ache free’ I would have had it for sure. Finished with an easy 2 plate triple. I decided to give some flat bench press a try – first time in quite a while. Despite the aches and fatigue and stuff I was still able to crank out a few moderately easy reps with 315. I’ll have to give bench a fresh try one of these days just to see how things truly feel there. Dips and chins were real hard, way harder than they should have been with the weight I was using. Got it all done, though.
