ATTENTION:
Joint Strike Athletes,
As of now, the gym will be limited to only AD/Guard/Reserve, and the Combat PT Tent is closed until further notice. Today’s WOD will be the last I will post for the current cycle. I will be working on some at-home workouts to get us by until we are up and running again. Once we are up and running, we will resume the current strength cycle. Thank you for your continued dedication to this great program, and we will get through this. Be safe. Be smart. Be fit! – Coach D

| Our Press movement this cycle will be the Strict Press. Couple reminders for Strict Press: |
Hands are just outside the shoulders / Feet can be anywhere between hip and shoulder width / Elbows are down and in front of the bar at set up / Heels stay flat the whole time / Torso and legs stay engaged and stationary (locked out) / Bar moves over the middle of the foot / Shoulders push up into the bar / The lift is complete when the arms are at full extension / Finish with the bar over the middle of the foot (head should be through the arms). With the 5X5 week, goal is to increase weight every set. The last rep of each set should be VERY taxing.
