TODAY'S TRAINING - DEATH BY OVERHEAD PRESS: Load up a log, axle, keg, or barbell to your bodyweight (or a percentage based on your ability level). Set a running timer and press it overhead (a push press or jerk will be most efficient) for 6 reps within 30 seconds. Rest 60 seconds, then hit 5 reps within 30 seconds. Continue that pattern down to 1 rep and aim to work your way back up to 6. Score is total reps completed. If you all you have are dumbbells or kettlebells, just increase the number of reps (ex. 12/10/8/6/4/2).
​
Picking up something heavy and putting it over your head is one of the most functional movements possible!

1. Proper overhead pressing creates tremendous strength and power in the shoulders, triceps, and surrounding musculature of the upper body.
2. Maintaining neutral alignment with a heavy object overhead is a great way to build core strength and stability.
3. Learning to transfer power from the lower body to the upper body during a push press or jerk develops exceptional coordination.

Invest in KNOWLEDGE and you'll never have a problem staying fit!
