ON THE EIGHTS


A WOD
Emotm for up to 20 min:
3 strict press @ 80% 1RM
Stop when you can no longer complete the reps within the minute.

Then...
8 min AMRAP:
8 push press (95/65)
8 hand-release pushups


B WOD
5 x 3 Strict press

Then...
8 min AMRAP:
8 strict press
8 pushups


Notes:
  • If you don't know your 1RM, pick a weight you know you can press about 6 times.
  • You will need to reduce the weight for the 8 min AMRAP.
  • B WOD group: use moderate weight to emphasize form vs intensity.
  • Difference between strict press, push press, and push jerk (because you always ask): http://youtu.be/gTu8QWrLtUM
