Last time hitting our standing Dual DB Strict Press before our 5X5 re-test. Today we want to push the muscular endurance a bit more.  For the set of 10, aim for a weight where if you attempted an 11th rep, you would not make it.  Then make jumps with that thought process in mind – the weight should be such that an extra rep in a given set would not work.

With the Kettlebell hang C&J, treat the hang like you would a KB swing: hinge the hips back slightly as the KB goes between the legs.  As the KB comes out of the hip pop, pull it close to the body and punch as your elbows comes through.  This will help avoid the KB slamming into the arm.

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (ELITE: 70/55)

Box Height -> 20/16 -> as needed (ELITE: 30/24)
