On the Bench, make sure your shoulder blades stay glued to the bench, your butt maintains contact with the bench, your feet press into the ground (or have them on top of plates if you’re short), As the bar moves, think of trying to bend the bar in half as it comes down, and pull it apart as it comes up.  This will allow the shoulder and triceps to be used as best as possible in the movement.

Every 90 seconds for 10 Rounds:

5 Push Press (Climbing)
