Happy Monday ;)

We miss you Rudy!!
Stay safe, and thank you for serving our country!

Strength
Strict Press
3-3-3-3-3
*60 seconds rest between each set

WOD
15 min AMRAP
1 wall walk
5 hang squat clean 135/95
9 T2B

What is the correct way to do a press? 
Where is our hand placement on the bar? What about our elbows...where should they be? How does the bar travel from our shoulders to overhead? 
What are our legs and feet doing?
Are we arching our back and sticking our bellies out?! 
First person to answer all these correctly gets 10 extra points for the LBN Challenge 3,2,1 go!

  1. Hands should be just outside of the shoulders. Elbows in front of the bar. Drive the bar up as close to the face as possible, as soon as the bar gets over the head, get under it and lock the arms. legs wide stance and we dip drive and press (knees bend slightly, legs stay in one place). knees forward, butt back, chest up. no arching and bellies are not sticking out. Press is really about the core. ---YIKES! hope I got this right ;/

  2. Hand placement: thumb distance from your hips when your feet are shoulder width apart.
    Elbows: parallel to the floor
    *Back must be straight and stomach in
    *legs should be straight since strict press
    *Feet shoulder width apart
    *Bar should travel as close to the face as possibe when trying to lift overhead
    *Shoulder shrugged and arms locked out in overhead position. ***Crossing my fingers =)

  4. -Hands placement- Hands should be just outside of the shoulders,should be thumb distance from your hips

    -Elbows - are in front of the bar, and are in a rack position elbows are up

    -Looking straight ahead drive the bar up keep it as close as you can towards your face once it passes the top of your head get under the bar,elbows should be locked out, and shoulder are actively shrugged.

    -Legs- shoulder with apart staying straight the whole time since this is not a push press, feet are to stay flat on the floor

    - Back is to stay straight and Core should engaged and be tight through the whole movement
