Friday 3.8.16 WOD NOTES

Max Effort Upper

Mobility: 5min

Dynamic Warm Up: 5min

Strength: 15min

Axel Bar Floor Press
5RM
NOTES:
Why?
By using an axel bar we are changing the variation. Again, if we can increase our rep maxes with different implements we will increase the conventional lift.
• Allows maximal weight to be pressed without undue stress on the shoulder. The limited range of motion prevents the Athlete from flaring out the elbows in the concentric movement, limiting the amount of scapular rotation and strain on the scapular stabilizer muscles.
• Eliminates the leg drive, forcing the Athlete to use only the chest, tricepts and shoulders to press the bar.
• Due to the limited range of motion the floor press will improve your lockout
How?
• Have a partner lift the bar off the ground for you to a full lock out and stable position
• Pause at the bottom of the lift, with your elbows on the ground
• Dump the barbell backwards onto the ground
