Thanks for a great WOD once again this morning! DRAT, that weight does not want to move for me on those shoulder presses!!!!!! I’ve been at the same weight forever with the shoulder press! Let me throw in some hip action, and I’m there, but UGH!, strict presses are tough! Anyway, thanks SO much, Kristen, for helping me say, “Yes, I can”…now, if you could help me BELIEVE those words inside my brain, I’ll be lifting that 115 lb bar soon…hahahaha! Jody, thanks for your cheering during my Push Presses…ahhhhhh, push presses!!!!!
Loved the AMRAP! Kettle swings are one of my favorite movements, so I enjoyed having those in the WOD today! Kris, thanks for pushing me on my last sprint; I’m actually really starting to enjoy those, too!!!!
Great videos, Brandon and Dr. Mike!!!!!
Another great WOD strength builder – the strict shoulder press. Was able to get up to 125 once…better that last time. Dennis I tried to match your challenge of 140 lbs x 7 reps on the push press but fell a bit short. I was able to get 9 reps of 135. It was fun to get a 6:00 class in & train w/ all of you that I haven’t trained w/ in a while. Thanks guys for another well designed workout!
Nick…135 x 9 is great. Plus, I would gladly lift less in exchange for 1 or 2 inches of additional height you have over me! lol
See you next time!
