Saturday 8/11 WOD

Did anyone say "Log PT"?

This workout is excellent training for log PT or holding a boat overhead.

Hoo-yah!!

I did the same workout Moscatoli did yesterday from the crossfit website.

1-1-1-1-1 @ 155lbs
3-3-3-3-3 @ 175
5-5-5-5-5 @ 175 (last two sets done at 155lbs)

Rord, I'm pretty new to most of the Olympic lifts (besides deadlift and squat). I watched demo on the crossfit website where it showed the shoulder press, the push press, and the push jerk side by side. Is the only difference in push press and jerk that in the push jerk you lock it out? I wanted to make sure I'm doing them right and that's the only difference I see.

Oly lifts take time to master.

Here's my breakdown of the press, push press, and push jerk.

Press = All shoulder

Push press = Initial momentum generated by dip and drive and finished with shoulder

Push jerk = Initial momentum generated by dip and drive, and then while weight is going up you dip again and lock arms out. This is an explosive move, which requires the most concentration in performing at first because of its compexity.

You can lift a heavy weight with a press, a heavier weight with a push press, and the heaviest weight with the push jerk.

As with everything though, get good at the push jerk before trying to get your volkswagon overhead.

What makes the olympic lifts incredibly effective also makes them dangerous. Same thing goes for live fire training.

Make any sense?
