I really need to work on my wrist issues. Its a catch 22 for the push press (and jerk and thruster)… I can’t get the bar to rest on my shoulders due to my wrists/shoulder flexibility, and not resting on my shoulders puts a lot of extra stress on my wrists. I’d say I probably spent around a minute doing the squats and the rest of the time doing the push press… dropping the bar ever 2-3 reps :-(
But that aside I was rather happy with the squats today. The last time I did heavy front squats ban in Jan (post), I PRed at 255… today I skipped over that and went straight to 275 keeping up with Karo!! WOOT!!! I stopped there, but Karo went on to hit 300.
