Press, Christine

1. Work up to 1RM Press
2. 5x3 @ 90% 1RM
3. Crossfit Benchmark Workout: Christine
3 rounds for time:
Row 500m
12 deadlifts @ bodyweight
21 box jumps (20")
----------------
1. 125. Tied PR. Still not making much progress on the press, but at least 125 went up fairly easy this time. The top half of my press is my limiting factor, I don't have any problem getting the weight up to my nose or higher, but that's my sticking point. This definitely has carry-over to HSPU, as the bottom portion is my limiting factor there. Might work some top half presses in the future, or stick with HSPU
2. 5x3 @ 110#. Not too bad, the last set was pretty heavy
3. Time: 8:26. Really pleased about this time. Goal going in was under 9 minutes. I focused on maintaining strong, slow strokes on the rower which allowed me to catch my breath and recover for the deadlifts and box jumps. The first 500 was 1:52, and I think the others were also under 2:00
