1. Bench Press – 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1
2. AMRAP Push Press
Coach’s notes: Post load for each set of bench press to comments. Use 50% of your heaviest single in bench press as the load for the AMRAP push press. Post number of reps achieved in a single set. Rest as needed between sets.

Thank you Brett for the help with the push press form.
BP same as the HULK except went to 180 and failed at 185 (got to far forward apparently) PR by 20#
PP @ 90# = 26 came out of the gate too fast and my rhythm sucked which jolted my wrists and I quit early because they were sore… boo hoo….. got 40 last time at 80# so should have been able to get over 30 I think…
