Today’s workout was as follows:

Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps (185lb,205lb,225lb,235lb,255lb)
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps (115lb,95lb,45lb,45lb,45lb)
Push jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps (45lb,45lb,45lb,45lb,45lb)

15 close grip, underhanded chin ups.

I’m still having a hard time differentiating between push press and push jerk. I understand the theory behind them. The push press you’re supposed to dip and then drive through using your upper body, whereas the push jerk involves launching the bar with the power of your legs, and then dipping under.

Here are 2 videos that give a good overview of the exercises courtesy of CrossFit

My shoulders are really sore from Monday’s workout. I took it lighter on the last 2 exercises to prevent injury. This will be a good power exercise once my shoulders recover. I’ve done it in the past with good results.
