Tonights Wod

Tonights WOD was taken directly from Crossfit.com. It was 3 different types of shoulder work
Standing Press
Push Press
Push Jerk
The difference in these is the amount of activity and momemtum introduced into the lifts. The shoulder press is a straight press-no body movement allowed, the push press allows for the body to dip-bending at the hip and knee-thus creating more force to propel the weight upwards-but the feet still stay on the floor. The push jerk is again a more powerful movement, pushing the bar upwards whilst pulling the body downwards in an explosive fashion-this allows for greater weight to be lifted and teaches the body how to move explosively-a skill transferable for many other sports.
