Press-off! Jim vs. Moe!
Nan and Mollie tackle “The Nickel”:
Today was strength building time. Developing the press is pure overhead pushing power. Fighting the urge to use the legs or hips to move the barbell is tough when we do so many push-press and push-jerks; but like a dead hang pull-up it’s a movement not to be neglected. The stronger your press the better you can move any load overhead and the faster you can get to more advanced movements like the handstand push-up.
Tomorrow’s WOD: You will have a choice. Be prepared and dress in layers in case you are outside.
