Power Training, Push

Spending yesterday in the ER with C. threw off my schedule for this week, so I tried something new to get in two workouts before the weekend. Instead of two total-body days, I decided to have a push day and a pull day that I could do back to back.

Today was push (and knee) day. All exercises were bilateral.

Squat Jump, 4 x -/5
Back Squat, 2 x 75/10, 2 x 80/10
Bench Press, 4 x 65/10
Push Press, 4 x 45/10
Seated Russian Twist, 4 x 14/10
Plank Walkup, 4 x 45 seconds

Warmup was five minutes on the treadmill at 7'30" pace, dumbell complex with 20lb. dumbells, and mobility circuit. I did supersets of the squat jumps and walkups, and of the back squats and twists. Loads seemed about right except for the back squats, which felt easier this week than last, maybe because I was wearing different shoes. I was struggling by the end of the presses and core exercises.
