5 sets of 1 shoulder press
5 sets of 3 Push Press
5 sets of 5 Push Jerk

This will be my third time doing  this workout since I started, and I'm still not quite sure how to go about it.  My presses have gotten a lot better since starting, but on here its difficult to gauge the weight - your push press should be 30% greater than your shoulder press, and jerk 30% greater than push press, but with the added reps, perhaps just keep the weight the same the whole time??  All I know is that my traps are pretty tired by the time I hit the third push jerk set. Here's a picture to demonstrate.
Traps = sore

4/8/08 - Did pretty good on this one, forget that picture above.  I feel it more in my lats and abs than my traps.   My score was Shoulder press - 155,160,165,165,170; Push press -185,185x2,175,180,180x2; and push jerk 185x2,155,135,135,155.  Almost all lifts were better than when I did it the end of February.

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
