Back-off Day 3

Today, I finally attempted a recommendation from Aaron Friday to work up to using the 32kg military press for 3 sets of 5/5 reps. Well, when I got to four I knew it would be quite a challenge to do it two more times. So, I only did 4L&R and to make up the loss in volume, I did four sets and added pull-ups. Also, it must have taken a while for me to warm-up, as the third set was the easiest! It will take more time to work up to the 3x5/5 scheme. I will revisit this again in five weeks if not before.
Thanks Aaron!

Warm-up:
16kg Halos, Pump Stretch, and 40kg loaded cleans.

32kg MP and Pull-ups:

32kg 4L&R
4 Pull-ups

Those straight sets might juice up your ladders. That's the thought anyway. Great job, John.

Yes, C&Ps are definitely easier for me than those straight MPs. Thanks!
