Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. Look back at your previous attempt to help navigate today’s workout. As long as you are working to your limits, you will benefit from this effort. Experienced athletes should build to a heavy set of 5 and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
Scaling:
To adjust the complexity of the lift, consider performing the movement with a pair of dumbbells or performing shoulder presses.
In case of an injury or limitation, consider using a single dumbbell or kettlebell. If you are unable to add load, consider handstand push-ups, pike push-ups, or push-ups.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.
Coaching cues:
In an attempt to keep your torso more vertical in the dip-and-drive phase of the push press, visualize yourself keeping your shoulders and hips against a wall as you dip and drive.

Made this one up today since I misread it and did strict press.
155-160-155-160-160lbs -the intensity was real, and I realize I should’ve eaten before this one! I rested 5m before the last one.

Great job!
No rack, so cleaned the first sets:
60#/65#/70# then switched to landmine for #95/107.5#
Apparently the heat is cooking my brain because I realize now I did shoulder press. I sure could have used that drive...
Heat is frying the brain. Well done working with what you have!
Way to go Favo!!! Adjusting the movement to keep going and selecting the more difficult option 😁

Way to go guys, and a good reminder that I need to get back to doing some SLIPS.
Thanks Dave! I just noticed I was supposed to do push press and I did strict press- oh well!

Steady increases!

Did pieces of SLIPS in between sets. Each set was a discovery of “how is this going to feel on the knees?” because gotta use the hip drive in a PP. Did an extra set at 135 for good measure. It felt like I could have done 145 but my elbows were starting to feel some kinda way so decided not to press my luck. Going to re-baseline my PR with this since I can’t find the old one.
Great work & glad the knees are holding up! Best to heed the elbows' angst for now!
Great job Lincoln! I can only speak for myself but I hate listening to my body because in my head, I still "feel " young, but my body disagrees, especially the next day.
