Last time hitting our Strict Press this cycle prior to our 5X5 re-test.  Just like we did with Deficit Deadlifts and Front Squats last week, our goal is start with a heavy set of 5, then a heavier set of 4, then an even heavier triple, then an even heavier double, and finishing off with the heaviest single you can do for today.  If that happens to be a new 1RM, awesome!  If not, make it heavy for the day.

WOD:

Shoulder and triceps will get pretty toasty by the end of this one!  The best idea, don’t hit failure on any movements.  Meaning, as soon as fatigue starts to kick in, when you feel you have about one or two reps left in your, come off of whatever movement you are doing and shake out the arms and get back at it.
