Split Jerk

Workout 23 August 2010:

Split Jerk 5-5-5-5-5

Results: 125-135-140-140-140lbs
Previous best: none

I'm trying to improve my overhead strength and decided to do a more dynamic move than a simple push press today. Since I'd never done a 5x5 before, I had to guess a bit on the weight. I probably could have gone up to 145, but stayed within a range where I knew I could hit all the reps. Next time I'll either try a straight 140lbs, or try to work up to 145.
