II. Set-up, Training Flow & Movement Review

Impact/Focus: Pressing Strength & Leverage Dynamics
Every :90 x 10 Rounds, work through the following…

Press x 5-4-3-2-1
Push Press x 1-2-3-4-5
(*climb weight as able)

Notes: Training stimulus and intentions; climb across sets of Press as able, hitting as heavy as climb and as close to a 1RM as able within the additional pressure of the time intervals. Once the movement changes to the Push Press we are looking to sustain or continue to climb weight as athletes feel the intended transition of strict strength + the aspect of leverage gained through positioning and dynamic movement aspects that are foundational to the Push Press.
