Strict Press
2-2-2-2-2
Work up to a challenging set of 2 strict press today. Focus on a tight trunk and core as you press overhead. Small amounts of weight will make a big difference so make sure not to add too fast!Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 12 minutes
3 front squats
6 push ups
We’ll set a timer for 12 minutes where you’ll work through as many rounds as possible of a small set of push-ups and front squats. The set size is small, which means this is a great opportunity to try scaling up a little higher than you might normally for a high-rep metcon. Either way, make sure you maintain an upright torso during your squats and keep your elbows up. When it comes to push-ups, the highest standard is moving your hips and shoulders together without snaking or pivoting at the shoulders. The full rep means your chest hits the deck, and your arms are fully extended at the top. To scale, try using a box to raise the floor or work the floor with knee push-ups.
