Press: Belt, no wraps or lifters
200x5, 205x5x4
Notes: Solid, strong, easy. My consistency in hitting 3x/weekly again, plus my bench being back in training and not rehab category, is really showing now. Pressing 200 feels like it's supposed to at this stage of my strength progression, not heavy like it did a few weeks ago.

1 min / 1 min x 8 @ 1:57-1:59. I was hoping to hit these at around 1:55 but I'm not quite ready for that yet. The most recent time I was in decent shape, last summer, I was rowing twice a week and hiking moderately challenging trails with the pup for 75-90 mins 2-3x/week, and I could do these at 1:52-1:53 with less HR elevation than I had here at 1:57-1:59. I'd really like to get to where I do that at 1:45 or so.
