Day 60: Overhead Press
Same weight as Day 46 or a little heavier.
Time Domain
EMOM - Every minute, at the top of the minute, begin a set of 5 standing two-handed presses. Rest the remainder of the minute. Repeat 5 times. (5 total sets)
Start the clock
Execute 5 two-handed presses as presented in the video resources (you may do strict or push press, just please note it in the website comments below)
Rest the remainder of the minute.
Start again at the top of the next minute.
IMPORTANT: whatever weight you choose, complete all 5 sets (meaning all 25 reps total) with that same weight.
If it becomes too heavy, adjust the weight accordingly, but note where you dropped down within the 5 minutes and to what extent (i.e., the weight).
If it’s too light and you feel like you left a lot in the tank, note that, too, so you will remember to go up next time. Too light is always better than too heavy. Every time. No shame.
Example:
00:00 - Go. Start the clock and do 5 standing, two-handed presses or push presses, smooth and consistent.
Rest until 1:00
1:00 - Go again
Rest until 2:00
2:00 - Go again
Rest until 3:00

Coaches Plan
Feelin’ strong today - I intend to use the 24kg (53 lb) kettlebells for 106 lbs
Resources - How to
Always remember, the load instrument does not matter - kettlebells, sandbags, dumbbells, cans of soup, paper weights, kids… Just note it.
Two-handed press with dumbbells (I prefer this Arnold-style)
Two-handed push press with kettlebells BEST VIDEO | Best education. Best trainer.

Note the weight.
Note the rest effect - enough? Too little? Too much?
