Monday, November 22 'Push-Press'

The Push-Press is one of the most functional movements we perform. We see it quite often in the "outside the gym" world. Inside the gym and outside the gym are two very different concepts. Only CrossFit transfers from inside the gym to outside of the gym seamlessly, as globo gyms and other programs cannot, even should they desire to, translate into real world movements. That is the essence of CrossFit- measureable increase in GPP, overall strength, and mental toughness that only it can deliver.

Push-Press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3
Eric- 185
Bart- 155
LaRunda- 80
Scott- 170
Tammy- 85
Matt- 145
Sharon- 90
Casey- 165
Lisa P- 70
T- 165

Great lifts everyone! One or two reps is manageable, that third rep becomes a problem for many. We had a few things we were working on, a few things we wanted to see during the lifts such as timing, patience, STABILITY,  mid-line stablization, and a rock solid overhead. EVERYONE is displaying these good traits.

Nice lifts LaRunda, Sharon, Tammy, and Lisa. Super strong session Eric, and Scott. Madman, not so big a jump next time, huh? Going from 165# to 185# on the last set is a big jump. That third rep becomes elusive, and can resemble snipe when we jump to high too soon, or too late. The three rep session and the one rep sessions are so very different in the requirements they demand.

Tuesday is a rest day, not a day off. Let's be sure and get some mobility for those tight pillar muscles and girdles. Your body will thank you, and your performance can only improve with greater ranges of motion and flexibility. Wednesday we'll meet at lunch only, off Thanksgiving and black Friday. Saturday is a rest day, so our next workout will be Sunday, 12:30. You know the mobilities- USE THEM OVER THE BREAK! Come back not only fully recovered, but more flexible too.
