I started doing these strict and was having a hell of a time on the second set. So rather than go back to a push press (leg drive) or a decreased weight I decided to put in a little hip thrust. I squat down a few inches to get some hip flexion and then thrust the hip forwards, this 'pulse' gives me an extra bit of umph coming off the shoulder. Made the rest of the sets manageable but still challenging. Possibly one of the only things I've ever taken from Rippetoe. :P
Pullups
+40x4x3, BWx8
Today was not a pullups day. I managed to pull a decent amount but the power just wasn't there, not like usual.
Neutral Pushups
+45x10x3
These were tough as well. Last set was a struggle near the end.
Zottman
45x5x3
Meh.
