I finally met "Grace"

05-09-2009
Shoulder Press
3x5--85#, 95#, 105#
12-9-6 protocol 85#
rest then:
"Grace" 14:16

The protocols for the strength days sure kick your butt. 85# seems like a light weight to some but it was difficult. You only get a minute rest between sets and after finding your 5rep max it sure is a kicker.

I agree 100% with Josh, I NEED bumpers. Grace sucked without them. Lowering the weight does tax you more than being able to drop the weight from shoulder height. Still working on strength for BW lifts but I was able to complete all 30reps without having to scale down in weight.

Today
Back Squat
3x5--185#, 195#, 205#
rest then:
AMRAP
10--95# Push Press
10--Burpees

I achieved 4rounds + 10PP. It sure is different having to throw weight around while you are gasping for air. I am also working on opening my right shoulder more on overhead lifts, that in and of itself should be an exercise. The back squat was just right as I got stuck on the last 2reps of the last set, obviously I made them but boy was my face red.
