ME Upper 6

Warm-up:
back/front squat (155)
overhead squat (95)
shoulder press
snatch balance

9x3 push press (95,5x115,95,105,110)

Did the first 6 sets from behind the neck and the last 3 from the clean catch position. Pressing from behind the neck feels much better to me, which I suspect means that I drift forward when pressing in front.

3x 3 min Turkish get-ups (25# plate, 11,11,10)

11 seems to be about my limit in 3 minutes (each rep consists of standing/shoulder press/sitting down/get-up/transfer weight). Should probably increase the weight or the time.

did the bar land a bit to close? 'behing the neck'... oh, spell checker!

Not really, but I was starting to worry that I wasn't going to be able to set it down properly sooner or later, so I switched to the clean catch position. Bruising your clavicles is preferable to chipping your spine. IMO of course.

Why don't you turn on the spell checker in Safari? Or do you just like driving Kenway crazy?

After months of pushing from the chest, push pressing behind the neck now feels weaker to me. Mostly recruitment of chest, probably. My shoulders always feel a little tight to get that far back with heavy loads, too.

Nice job, getting the weights up now...
