Interesting night tonight. Couldn't quite PR into a new weight, but finished reps where I had failed before.
Press max 85# (no improvement)
Push Press max 102.5 (only one rep, last time maxed at 100# 2 reps)
Push Jerk max 102.5 (all 5 reps, last time was only able to do 100 and failed after 4 reps).

Nichole, I had a similar experience with the push jerk...no more wt but more reps than last time.
Press x 1 = 82.5# (PR, old 80#)
Push press x 3 = 110# (PR, old 105#)
Push jerk x 5 = 115# x 4, failed @ 5
I did 2 sets of the push jerk and failed on the 5th rep both times. Last time I did 2 sets at 115# and failed on the 4th rep on both. At this rate, next time 115# is MINE!
