Overhead Press

Experimenting with a narrower grip. Usually I have my pinkies near the marks on the bar. Today I placed my hands a little wider than shoulder width apart.

45lbs: 10
75lbs: 8
100lbs:5
140lbs:3
190lbs: 2
225lbs: 2
205lbs: 3,5
- 1st set: started off as a military press (heels together). Lost balance after the first rep, readjusted my stance and did OHP.
- Pretty sure 205lbs x 5 is a 5RM. Shaking during the last few reps, but still pushed it out!
