WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Anytime overhead is notoriously difficult for many athletes starting our in CrossFit – and they never get any easier for the veterans. It takes work and dedicated to get a killer jerk.

Today, we’re going to start off with some jerk focus then straight into an 8 AMRAP. Going into the Metcon, you should feel a little tired but not enough to effect you. You should still be able to attack it.

The DB should feel a medium to light weight. Enough to rep them out for 8, but still be a little struggle unbroken. 

 

New to CrossFit? Or just looking for a better understanding of the variations in the pressing movements? I’ve got you covered! In this video I take a dive into the Strict (or Shoulder) Press, the Push Press, the Push Jerk, and finally – the Split jerk.
