CrossFit WOD: Heavy shoulders

Today was a heavy day on shoulders and it felt great to do this WOD again to see how my progress is going. I did the following WOD back on December 4th of 2009.
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Push Jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Back in December, my heaviest was 175 on the push press and jerk. 162.5 on the shoulder press. The results were:

135-145-155-160-162.5
135-145-155-165-175
135-145-155-165-175

This time around, my results were as follows:

135-145-155-165-175
145-155-175-180-190
145-155-175-180-190

Marked improvement, and I'm happy! The key here is that after doing all the weight and reps that you can either stay the same or keep going up. I kept going up, regardless of muscle fatigue. I'm happy with the 15 lb improvement. 200's are next!

Best,
Tyler
