The Litchfield overpass was dedicated to Maj. Troy L. Gilbert Jan. 25 at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. Major Gilbert was killed in Baghdad Nov. 27, 2006. After 14 months of construction, people at Luke AFB can get from one side of the base to the other without ever leaving a gate, now that base officials have opened the overpass crossing Litchfield Road. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Raheem Moore)

S/S/S:

Push Press

5,4,3,2,1

Increase weight ea set

Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics.  Last time with Push Press this cycle before we re-test our 5X5 on this.  The goal is a heavy set of 5, a heavy set of 4, a heavy set of 3, a heavy double, then a heavy single.  It does not have to be a 1RM attempt, but if you are feeling good today, go for it!  Even if you need to do a couple extra singles.  As always, with Push Press, you should see a significant increase of weight you can handle vs. the weight you used for Strict Press.  With Push Press, getting a powerful dip, and then drive with the hips should get the bar moving fast!  Best way to avoid the re-bend of the knees is to squeeze your butt as you extend the hips and knees.  This should keep them good and straight as your press HARD!

%s Based off 17Sep2020

Video courtesy of Lift Lab.  Last time with our 3-Position Power Clean complex this cycle before we re-test our 1RM in Clean & Jerk. As a reminder, the Power Cleans will be performed in a complex consisting of a rep from above the knee, below the knee, and from the ground.  This equals 1 rep of the complex.   The goal is to hold onto the bar during one complex rep, and finish with one Jerk (Push or Split) before putting the bar down.  The %s go up this week, so keep that hook grip!  With these being Power Cleans, make sure you get a VIOLENT hip extension along with a HIGH pull before you pull yourself under the bar.
