Press Instruction by Coach Rip







Coach G. Push-Press Instruction






Push-Jerk Instruction




WOD 5-08-08: Compare to; 03-12-08

Beginners:

Push-Up 5-5-5-5-5
Dumbbell Press 5-5-5-5-5 (each arm)
Dumbbell Push-Press 5-5-5-5-5 (each arm)

Intermediate:

Dumbbell Press 1-1-1-1-1-1 (each arm)
Dumbbell Push-Press 3-3-3-3-3 (each arm)
Dumbell Push-Jerk 5-5-5-5-5-5 (each arm)

Advanced: same as above, but use a barbell that is 80% of your 1RM Press for the entire complex. For example if you can press 160# you will do all of the sets with 128# (round down to 127# or bring 1/2# weights).




Climbers:

Three Rounds:

Up and down climb a boulder problem two grades below your maximum ability three times without coming off of the wall. use the the same movement pattern up and down each time.

Rest three minutes between rounds.




"Vertical force translates well into rotational force."

This week will mark the start of a one-month cycle focusing on integrating bouldering and CrossFit. As some of you may know CrossFit is "Open-Source Fitness Technology". It is constantly evolving, improving and growing. Part of that is test-piloting new things, some of which turn out to be valuable and some of which go nowhere.

We will be using some ideas from Rob Miller's Affiliate, CrossFit Sunnyvale (scroll down a tad for a pic of Lyn & Tim) and trying some new things.

I will be doing the WODs a day in advance and I could use some training partners to help me try them out. I'll be doing them at the following locations/times, feel free to join me (experienced climbers/CrossFitters only please). We will test and tweak the following:
