I knew going in to today's workout that I wasn't going to break any records. I'm not happy about the decrease in weight in the shoulder press, especially since I've pressed 155 recently as a one-rep max. However, I am pleased that I was able to complete all reps in the last set of push jerks without a failure. Next time I do this workout, I will try to get the shoulder press back up, and also finally move up in weight on the push jerks.
