195# is my bodyweight . . . Dutch's challenge is going to be rough. Granted, a jerk should be more efficient, but I'm not sure my jerk is all that much better than my push press. Ought to be fun!

No where near PR, but I'm taking it pretty easy this week. Tried to focus on form. Biggest issue for me is keeping my arms more at 45 degree angle rather than just down. Is that the right angle?

15# DB Thrusters
1 pood KB Swings
25# Bumper plate for walking lunges

Yep, that's about the right angle. I think there's some personal preference involved too. A key part is, since there is quite a bit of pushing with the arms/shoulders involved, if you go any higher with the elbows, any initial push is directed backward into your face as opposed to upward.
Then again, the higher the elbows, the better the "shelf" you create for driving the weight upward. But I think that the shelf only gets better to a certain point - after that, any raising of the elbows probably has a fairly negligible effect.
At any rate, 45 degrees is a good starting point.
Mom and I did the WOD with the following modifications: lunges without barbell, push-ups rather than burpees 'cuz I wanted to get in a swim, too.
