WOD – Wed, Apr 3

Intent

Upper body, horizontal pressing today! Get stronger by making all 4 of these sets WORKING sets. The superset set with the band is to optimize shoulder stability. Remember if you want strong pressing muscles then you need a bigger and stronger back to use as a platform, this is another reason we are obsessed with developing the back side of the body. The front side will always be limited by what it can do, based on the capacity and stability on the backside of the body.

Conditioning today is a doozy, one that is similar to a benchmark workout “Elizabeth” but with box jumps!
