Post Press Loads and Workout Time to Comments
For the strength segment, the goal is to move the weight as quickly as possible for your three reps across all 9 sets, particularly on the way up.  Rep speed should be roughly 1 second down and 1 second up.  If you cannot perform all of your reps at this speed then you need to use a lighter load…regardless of whether you’re at 50% or not. Perform 1st three sets “wide” grip – pinkies on the outside line.  2nd three sets “medium” grip – thumbs distance from the middle knurling.  3rd three sets “narrow” grip – index finger just off the smooth part of the middle of the bar. 

After the Press, perform 3 sets of 8 rep Chinups.  Use either an underhand or neutral grip. 

For the conditioning workout, do your pushups with your hands on the barbell you’re using for the C&J.  Chest should touch the bar on these pushups and it’s not supposed to be super stable.
