Row 500 meters
115 pound Push press, 15 reps
Row 500 meters
115 pound Push press, 12 reps

For beginners, sub whatever monostructural activity you have access to or can handle. Scale weight, not reps, on the push press.

Also, when the Rx calls for a consistent weight throughout the workout, you have a good opportunity to experiment with odd object lifting. Push press a full Poland Spring water cooler container if you have one.

Be sure to include pass-throughs in your warmup. Loose shoulders and traps are vital to a proper push-press.

Everything you’ve got, every workout! That exhaustion you feel leads directly to an improvement in your quality of life.
