[quote name='Paekakboyz']Push press?? what is that...<br />
<br />
ahh just googled to find it - ouch!! man 70kg is a bloody good effort mate! I do shoulder presses which are similar but without the leg push to begin with (and the bar ending up kind of behind your head).<br />
<br />
IMO anytime you are lifting 70kg+ above your head you are doing well![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I like push presses heaps more than shoulder presses for the obvious reason that you can lift a shitload more, good for weights that you couldn't normally get up there without a bit of help as long as you lower the bar in a nice controlled fashion. PB, judging by your benching stats I'd conservatively estimate you could do a fair old bit, maybe not quite as much as this guy though.....<br />

In clean hell again today. WOD was 15-9-6 x 40kg clean squats and assisted ring dips. Had nothing left in the tank after that. <br />
<br />
Strength section was 3x Thrusters. Set a PB of 60kg (previous was 55kg) and got one out at 65kg, but couldn't do anymore. Very hungry, very sore. -
Funny experience last night that highlights my change in attitude. My wife got called into work so I couldn't got to the 6am class, [I]and I was pissed off I couldn't go[/I].<br />
<br />
Made the 12pm one though. 5 x 60kg Clean for strength work, and the WOD was fucking evil. 1000m row, 50 x 20kg thrusters and 30 pullups for time. Got 12:53min. As usual, the one at a time pullups slowing me up, but the thrusters where tough after the row (3.55min). Felt that one. -
Funny you mention hell, felt a bit flat for this mornings 6am class. That makes it much easier to get through....<br />
<br />
Strength portion was Front Squats x 3 @ 80kg. WOD was 21-15-9 of 75kg Deadlifts and incline pressups (height of the box jump). The last 9 pressups were amusing <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> 7mins 36 -
Unleash the beast bro!! Are those 4 sessions all during the week or do you sneak one in during the weekend? With the exercise variations and the strength/endurance base you've built up now adding another session is a great way to accelerate progress.<br />
<br />
Just out of interest is it a cost per session/week or more traditional gym fee structure? I'm quite keen to check out options in wellington but I already pay one gym! -

He has a 9am class on Saturday, and during the week it's 6am, 9am, 12pm and a few 6:15pm classes. A couple are just weightlifting.<br />
<br />
Ideally, I'd like to break it up a bit, but with my schedule the only option I have for that is 6am. Might sneak a rest day in there somewhere for days where I feel like this.<br />
<br />
If you live in Paekok, you just come up the road mate. [url]http://www.crossfitkapiti.co.nz/[/url] has all the costs up there.<br />
<br />
And Bart, don't think I'm overtraining, just probably didn't have enough to eat the previous day. -
Cheers mate - Live in Porirua/work in town but I grew up in Paekak. Sure there are a few crossfit gyms in town. Will have a look at that site though.

Standard workout today. Strength was 5 x5 Power Cleans, wasn't pushing it for weight, I think it was 45kg or something. Was technique session really.<br />
<br />
WOD was "Helen"; 400m run, 21 20kg KB, and 12 pullups 3RT. I took 13:06min for that, pleasing aspects were the pullups are getting easier, and my calf didn't complain about the running.<br />
<br />
Target this week is for four sessions. Schedule has me down for two 6am workouts in a row... -
Pussied out of the 6am session and went at lunchtime instead. It took all of the warmup to get loose, pretty sore today.<br />
<br />
Today was 5 x 1 Back Squat. I got that up to 105kg, tried at 110 but failed and twinged my thigh a bit. One of those days today <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
WOD was 30 x 42.5kg Clean and Jerk. Was racing the other guy in there for that, and dead heated the finish! Robbed.... I think it was 3mins 15 or something, was quick anyway.<br />
<br />
Going to have a rest day tomorrow to get over the soreness, and then aim for 6am Friday. Reserve day is Saturday at 9am. -
6am Friday done and dusted, first week with four sessions. A bit wrecked, was starving after this one.<br />
<br />
He saved the worst to last, today was 3xPB Deadlift which I got up to 120kg. Then the WOD was special. 50 x OH (Press, Push Press, whatever to get it above your head) and 100 Burpees. Burpees where you had to jump and touch the bar above you, which I think is 8ft up, felt like 100ft up for the last 50.<br />
<br />
You could do it in any order you like (like 10 OH, 10 Burpees and do it in reps). I screwed mine up and finished with a stretch of 40 Burpees in a row. Very close to throwing up on that one.<br />
<br />
Nice feeling being done with your exercise by 7am. I used to struggle to get out of bed at 8am. -
ugh I get a bit queasy just reading that. Did a few rounds of burpees at my last boxing session and they knacker you (providing you put some effort into them). Having that bar to jump too would have certainly seen to that! would have loved to have seen your face when you went "40 to go!!? fudge!!" lol<br />
<br />
Nice work on the DL's and on getting along to 4 classes. Funny how sometimes the biggest challenge is actually getting to the workout. Once you are at the gym/field whatever you just get stuck in.
