Everything felt pretty good today. Started off pretty stiff and slow on the deads and ended up doing well once I got into it, just needed to find the right rhythm. Getting used to 1 minute between sets and am recovering faster. Still not optimal yet, but definitely working on getting there. Push presses felt light and very very snappy. I felt like if I just let the bar go it would go 4-5 feet over my head. Definitely the fastest I've ever worked a push press. Hopefully, this will also help solidify my leg drive technique for when I do heavy push presses, namely the strongman comp I have coming up in a few weeks. Dilly dally'd around too much when I first got to the gym and ran out of time on the pullups/rows so skipped the last set. Overall a good day though.
