Cara does a great job keeping her elbows in and creating a frame to drive her core throughThe Strict Press is a nice example of how tight you need to flex your abs, legs, glutes; everything!
...in order to stabilize your body to properly lift a load
Understanding and mastering this stabilization will have a HUGE carryover in everything else you do
Terence put together some excellent strict presses; there is a nice 3 picture sequence in the Flickr Slideshow...We started our training with some skill work:
Hang Power Clean and Elbow whip!
The Workout was lightly attended this morning due to the freezing rain
(Although I rode my bike in with no problems...)
Those who made it quickly found it was raining pain in the Blue Room!
"Rain Pain"
5 rounds for time
12 repetitions Each
Pullups
Kettlebell Swings
Jumping Slamball
Dumbbell Walking Lunge (12 steps each leg)
Strict Barbell Press
Load:
20lb - 25lb Dumbbells for Lunges
55lb - 75lb Barbell for Strict Press
Scale load as needed
This workout was SOLID; we might see it again!
It was a true test of our strict press form while under fatigue
I like how you held up under duress!
