Functional Fitness, what is it all about?
One thing is being able to do most anything at the drop of a hat. Another thing is continual improvement in one’s capabilities.
Today, we did something we hadn’t done in a while, 6 minutes of Push-presses. And, our trainer, being the kind of guy he is, upped my load to 95 lbs. “Oh, joy”, I thought to myself.
Warmup:
- 3x of
- 20 Wallballs @ 20 lbs
- 20 Medicine Ball Squats @ 20 lbs
- 30 ball slams @ 20 lbs
Workout:
- 6 minutes of Push-Presses @ 95 lbs: 69 PB! PB! PB!
- Tabata Squats, holding the squat during the ‘rest’: 13
- 20 Bodyweight Squats for form
- 3x: Shallow V-holds for time: 1:00, :28, :28
- 21 Ring Dips
- 21 GDH Back Extensions
- 20 Overhead Drops @ 25 lbs
- 10 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
Have to say that I was surprised by my push-press results. It has been a good 8 months since I last did that exercise, and I had an add’l 20 lbs this time. So, wasn’t expecting to get above 60 reps, but there you have it. I think that all the bar work we’ve been doing over the last several weeks has had an impact, plus I’ve been concentrating a lot on my form wrt all the standing bar movements, e.g. cleans, presses, thrusters, front squats, overhead squats, etc.
I wonder when I’ll break 100…
