WOD Brief
We are working the press today. After a light shoulder day on Thursday it is time drive that weight up. Focus on great leg stance today and a complete tension in the body as we press.
The WOD is one shared by mainsite and it fit perfectly in our week’s programming. These are fun to allow you to see your numbers against a much larger population. As in anything we will scale. If GHD is new(ish) to you .. we’ll lighten the reps or simply go to a situp. The weight in the shoulder to overhead is your choice – pick something challenging. You must switch hands every repetition.
At 3, 2, 1, go … we will hit 21 situps or GHDS … then straight to 14 shoulder to overheads. Let’s alternate arms every rep.
Scaling
Avoid a high volume of reps on the GHD if you have not had previous exposure to it, or you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Use a weight that is manageable, yet challenging.

14 GHD sit-ups
