**For the bench press, compare to 6/4.. did you beat that week?? You should’ve. And if you’ve caught on, we’re alternating push press and bench press, so this shouldn’t come to a surprise as to what we’ll be doing next week..
For the workout, we’ll transition from a horizontal press to vertical press overhead. Remember to keep the push press to a single knee bend/straighten. It’s not written as a shoulder to overhead, so focus on doing the movement that’s written. You’ll follow that up with some toes to bar, a number that a handful should be able to do unbroken the first few rounds. On the racked carry, it should look like this.
No need to be as stoic, and I’d like you to move as quickly as possible, but keep the hand under the chin and the KB between your bicep and forearm. Key thing here is staying upright. This is meant to work your core, so resist the urge to lean with the weight. Instead, press into the KB and keep it in a solid rack position.
