Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. Look 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 plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets as long as technique and safety are maintained. 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 completing 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.

Great job!
In the past, this WOD had 5 sets of 1, not 4 sets of 1. I wonder if the change is intentional or just a typo.

185-185-190missed 1 attempt but not without a bit of a fight, then belted after that to be more aware of bracing and midline stability. Got 215 last time but I think we were doing more heavy days back then.

all pr’s above 50, and still had more in the tank! Mobility and strength 7 months ago didn’t allow a front rack or a left arm overhead, let alone with weight!

Not really feeling it today but I did finish heavier than last time, and I called it there sort of out of caution with the elbows.
Leveled up✅
Multi-tasking✅
Up from last time AND getting chores done! Fantastic!

First time going heavy overhead in a while for me. So that felt pretty good. No failures, but I accidentally added an extra triple🤷♂️. Felt like this should have been 10 sets anyways.
Nice comeback! Well done.
Excellent!
Modified for ability & equipment:
5-20# DBs x2 & 5-35# DBs x2
3 BB @ 35#-65#
1 BB @ 75#-80#
1 single arm L/R landmine press @65#
1 same as above @ 75#
Finished with single arm DB Z presses x5 @
10#/15#/20# then Arnold presses with 2 20# DBs until failure
Very well done! Hope that means you're feeling better!
Thanks, Lincoln! I'm not better, but not worse, so I'm trying to ignore it until it takes the hint & goes away!
