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
