Monday – 031411 – Press, Push-press, Push-jerk…

I think you can, I think you can, I think you can... YOU CAN!!!

Belief from Patrick Cummings on Vimeo.

Warm-up:

500 M Row
3 Minutes of Plank Holds

Press:

1-1-1-1-1

Push-press:

3-3-3-3-3

Push-jerk:

5-5-5-5-5

Rest as needed between sets.

The format of this workout actually strings movements together. That is to say, an athlete will adress the bar, press once, push-press three times, and push-jerk five times before returning the bar to the rack. So really, the workout is 5 x 1/3/5. There will be some strategy required, much like when we do the Bear complex. You don’t want to get to the point where you can’t complete a round properly because you have too much weight to get overhead with the prescribed movement. The ultimate goal, however, is to lift maximal loads for entire OH sequences.

Post thoughts and loads to “comments”.

REMINDER!!!!! TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF 5:30 AND 6:30 AM CLASS!!!!

    You’re right, Chris DID do it, as I recall!

    Side note: That shirt is one of the ones that got stolen out of my bag last weekend! RIP merino wool number. :(

    Who wants to get a Crossfit co-ed rec softball league together for the spring/summer?

    Thinking Thursday or Friday night. Friday night starts 4/22 and Thursday night starts 4/28. $450 for the team. So about $38/person if we field a team of 12.

    Games are 6, 7, 8 or 9pm and would be at McMurray or St. Clair fields in St. Paul depending on which night/league we sign up with.

    Registration deadline is March 25th.

    Shoot me an email if you’re interested and if you have preference for which night or if you have any questions. [email protected]
