Pushing

Annie Thorisdottir
No legs yesterday, but pushing day was in store, a couple pr's too.

Rack Bench Press - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3..........205, 225, 245, 265, 275(2)

Incline DB Bench Press - 70s(5), 75s(5, 5, 5, 5)

6 Rounds for time
3 Handstand Pushups
10 Pushups
Time: 8:41

Overhead Tricep Extension - 90 (8, 6, 6)
DB Incline Flies - 35s (10, 8, 8)

First, last time I went heavy on rack bench press, when 265 came around I only got 2, today I got 3.  On 275 I only got 1, today I got 2, I tried the third my arms didn`t let me, so nice progression there.  The incline bench I had to use was the one I don`t like, it`s steeper than what I usually use to the weights were a tad less, not too bad though.  Last time I did part 3 I got 12:28, yikes that`s one heck of an improvement.  I figured I`d be just a bit faster on this one, due to forgetfullness I haven`t done handstand pushups a whole lot lately so I wasn`t sure how this would go.  For me they start off great then drop like a rocket, today was no exception but I moved fast.  I`ve been visiting more old routines lately and have loved my improved time, shows the program I am on is actually working for me.

  1. How do you get into position for the handstand pushups on your own? I still want to try those!
