I have been annoyed lately because I failed at my last two Press attempts at 95 pounds. The first time I only got 4,3,3 reps, and the second time I was definitely cheating by not going all the way down, and still only got 5,4,3. I went back and reviewed all the Rippetoe videos on the Press. My big two takeaways are that I was gripping the bar too wide, not getting under the bar enough, and not taking advantage of what he calls the hip bump.
Focusing on those three things got me a great workout, and I'm looking forward to the next press workout.
Work sets:
Squat: 3x5 @ 190
Press: 5,4,5 @ 95
Power Clean: 5x3 @ 135
