Push Press

Thursday, August 11, 2016

Coach Jeremy @ MBS CrossFit

(11:00 AM) 8 of us including Marissa, Sherry, Erika, Mandy, Ravel, Tom, Rusty and me

Warm Up

Quadraped pointers 16x20 seconds (20 seconds static L, 20 seconds static R, 20 seconds dynamic L, 20 seconds dynamic R, repeat)

Air squats with normal stance, wide stance, toes pointed in, narrow stance, etc (range of motion varied significantly).

Jump Rope, Plank Hold, Backstep lunges, Ab Mat Sit-ups - Tabata for 2 rounds

With 45# bar, strict press, kips swings, push press, pull-ups, push jerk (5-10 reps of each)

Push Press

5x3 E3OM - 65#, 95#, 105#, 105#, 105#

WOD

30 Thrusters
30 Pull-ups
30 Shoulder to OH

Fitness was 75# with elevated ring rows.  This was a tough workout.  I managed 15-5-5-5 on the thrusters.  I did ring rows and had to split those up as well 10-6-6-4-4.  The shoulder to OH should have just been a blast through.  Instead it was 10-5-5-5-5.  I still managed to finish in 7:37.  With the roughly 10 minute cap, I may have been able to do pull-ups, but was otherwise pleased with the effort.

Finish with mobility - banded shoulders and squat against wall.  Jeremy was doing the extra credit between classes (wall balls and muscle ups)

Warm Up

Dynamic warm up - high knees down and back, butt kickers down and back, bounds opposite arm opposite leg, bounds same arm same leg, lunge to the side and pivot, drinking birds (kick leg forward and then Frankenstein forward to ground, duck walk

Air squat look at form, only go as low as you feel comfortable without breaking form.

Wall squat (squat therapy) - only go as low as you can before breaking form.  I need to work on hip and shoulder mobility.

Burgener warm-up

1.  Shrugs (meat shrugs, not shoulders)
2.  High elbows, weight should float up
3.  Muscle snatch (pivot wrists over)
4.  Drop to half squat
5.  Drop to best squat

A lot of emphasis on foot work and finding stance.  Shoulders back, chest high.  Finished with snatches from just above knee caps.  Chest tall, knees back, swing knees under and finish in squat snatch.  Everything was done with PVC.
