*F# means a failed attempt at that rep number

With the exception of the shoulder press, I didn't try to increase the weight compared to the last time I did this workout since there were so many failed reps (5 total). Since I recently put up a one-rep max of 155 on a shoulder press, I knew I could easily go to 150. I didn't try for 155 in an attempt to conserve some strength for the pushes and jerks. The push presses went well and I should be able to max at 165 next time. Until I can do all the jerk reps without a failure, I won't increase that weight.
