STRENGTH: Strict Press
As we cycle away from the clean and jerk and into snatch land, we will look to keep our shoulder-to-overhead and front squat strong throughout strength on the ‘other’ days of the week. So, let take it back to the basics. The strict press is often the least favorite/glamorous of the pressing motions, but its cues and points of performance translate the best to other CrossFit motions (tight core and posterior, weight in heels, bar path, etc…). Let’s take time today to go over the points of performance for the strict press while working doubles.
WOD: 3 RFT
30 Hang Cleans (75/55)
30 Front Squats
30 Push Press
*Thinking about how you are going to break up the reps to optimize this WOD? Well, take this into consideration. Every time you drop the barbell you have to do 5 burpees. Resting the bar on your back rack, along with any other shenanigans that you might come up with, isn’t allowed.
