WOD – Thu, Jun 5

Intent

Today we dive into some movement redundancy. We will press and press some more. While those who have great local muscle endurance will be able to get after this with intensity, others may be stopped stone cold in their tracks due to the inability to lockout HSPU or even scaled versions. This is a necessary evil and part of the development of an athlete. Be sure to scale the GHD range of motion and/or volume to suit your capacity. The potency of these in a workout coupled with overhead movements gets cumbersome–be wise.
