Hey Team,
Great progress on your overhead strength!
Much of this is due to our increased core strength - A person can't have "ripped abs" if they don't know how to properly "tighten" them - Bracing the mid-line (abs) during our functional exercise circuits helps...adding a moderately heavy load to the same movements helps dramatically.
We utilized the first 15-20 minutes of class to work:Strict press x 3, push press x 3, push jerk x 3
The goal was to work up to a heavy load in the push press and then without putting the bar down hit some push presses followed by push jerks - This progression was a classic example of the hierarchy of power, skill, and functional movement.
We followed with a high repetition pullup circuit that had even our "running allergic" excited about the 800 meter run break...
Stacey and Danny finished this in sub 20 minutes...smoking!
