5x5 - Press (increase from last session)

Rest 10-8-6-4-2-4-6-8-10

Pull Ups 
Burpees
Push Press (95/65)

Your press load will increase this week by a couple pounds from the last time we did strict presses. Keep track of your increases and also, it is a good idea to write down how much of an increase you will make the next time you do the movement. For example, in your journal you can scribble "increase 2.5 Lbs total for next session". Small jumps are key. If you make them too big, especially in the pressing movements, you will stall out real soon and have to unload for a couple weeks before moving forward again. Instead, make really small and constant jumps.

Rest and do the MetCon. The weight on the Push Press might look scary after doing presses, but realize you can move about 20% more weight in your Push Press than your strict press. So the added use of the legs will make the movement happen and it won't be as bad as you think.Get some!
