Today’s Clean & Push Press session climbed from 45 pounds for eight reps all the way to a 200-pound single at RPE 9.
The number matters, but the part I care about most is what happened before the press.
I had already push pressed 200 pounds from the rack. This time, the bar started on the floor. I had to clean it, establish the position, and then still have enough left to drive it overhead.
The progression:
45 × 8
75 × 5
105 × 3
135 × 1
150 × 1
165 × 1
185 × 1
200 × 1 — RPE 9
That is the kind of progression I want to see: not simply adding weight, but becoming capable of doing more with the strength I have already built.
