**Some pressing work to follow up Monday’s jerks and overhead carry, but today also includes some pulling and core work. I love this pulling movement because it’s something you don’t see that often, yet it pops up from time to time in the sumo deadlift high pull, and you wonder why it feels weird. Wonder no more! And *feel* how powerful you will be next time we do that barbell movement.
Careful with how much weight you chose for the Z-press as we have some wall walks and DB push press in the workout. We go from dumbbell seated strict press, to inverted bodyweight support, to going overhead again with dumbbells but now with the assistance of your lower half.. and before THAT happens, you gotta do some lunges. PHEW! I’m tired just writing about it, but I’m also plotting my strategy to shake my arms out during the lunges and break the PP into two sets. What’s your plan?
