Presses in the garage. Tried out my new weightlifting shoes.

Warmup:
5 min jump rope w/ DU practice; resistance band stretches and pulls; mobility stuff.

Think I'm getting worse at jump rope again. I didn't jump in the lifting shoes obviously. Whacked myself in the back of the neck with a resistance band at one point, which was a laugh riot.

PRESS:
Warmup sets: 5 x 35#, 5 x 40#, 3 x 50#
Working sets: 5 x 60#, 3 x 70#, 1+ x 80# (7 reps)

Great but could be better. The 7 reps gives me a theoretical 1RM of 99#, which is still much higher than the 85# I was stuck at for a while before I did Wendler. So I'm happy with that gain. But I could've gotten 8 or 9 reps if my grip wasn't messed up. Wrists were bent, and had to readjust my fingers about 5 reps in. I might need to set the pins one notch higher. The Oly shoes felt very comfortable and was firmly planted on the mats.

Then supersets:
5 x 10 @ 40#
5 x 10 chinups
Presses felt very easy. Chinups were hard -- had to use bands.

Then:
3 clean and jerks @ 85#, 3 clean and jerks @ 65#
Did some light C&Js to try out the Oly shoes.
