Shoulder Press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push Press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Holy crap! I thought I was pretty strong and in decent shape. WRONG!

I did 5 minutes on the treadmill to get warmed up mixing run and walk and varied inclines. Then I did some rotator-cuff exercises to get them loosened up, as well as a quick set of 10 of 135 on shoulder presses. Then came the real work...

Shoulder press was 185, 165, 165, 175, 175 all for 1 rep.

Push Press was 135, but I about killed myself trying, so I lowered the weight to 95, but that was way too light. So I finally settled on 115. I did that for 2 sets, increased to 125 for 2 sets, then did 135 for the last set.

Push Jerk was 95 lbs for all 5 sets since this was the first time I've ever encountered this lift.

Rest for the duration of the workout was 2 minutes between sets and all together I was in the gym for almost exactly 60 minutes. Granted that includes checking my boy into daycare and changing, but the bulk of that was actually me working out.

I'm definitely going to feel this tomorrow.
