Patterns galore

Nick | 11/19/2015 | 2

Most of us find many things we want/need to work on once we get into CrossFit for a few months.  Often, there are so many things to work on that it’s hard to know where to start.  This is a big reason why we train patterns that can be applied to many situations.  Our strength work today is a good example of this.  Even though we will be facing opposite directions, our floor press and push ups should be using the same patterning through the shoulders and arms.  Be deliberate and you’ll find yourself getting better at things that you’re not even practicing.

STR:

Floor press
5-5-5-5-5
