WOD 1 Feb: Those Pockets Again

by Chris February 1, 2011 CrossFit London workouts

Today’s strength work was push press (5-5-5-3-3-3). Keeping a recent video post by Andrew in mind, everyone was encouraged  to use just enough hip depth to make the movement powerful i.e. not too low. The met con was sumo deadlift high pull, box jump and ring dip: 15-12-9. Apparently the dips weren’t too popular after a nasty [...]
