With belt. Very, very challenging sets.


Did random SLIPS probably for a total of 20m. Some of Juan’s dynamic stuff and some of my own stretching and handstand stuff.

"Prone" is incorrect, I have been doing a Prone Shoulder Stretch Series and typed that by mistake. The banded hamstring stretch was laying face up, supinated, not face down...

My Shoulder Press is the only lift I’m not improving on it seems.

Nicole, when I get stuck on a lift I’ll scale back to the heaviest, totally clean rep, weight then do higher full rep sets or do heavier 3/4 lifts if it’s just sticking somewhere. It highlights where the problem is (form issues, lagging muscle(s), etc) & builds strength in the move at the same time. Might be worth a try?

Warm-up for 190923:

GENERAL WARM-UP


1 round of:

2 minutes of rowing or biking

15 PVC pass-throughs

20 banded pull-aparts

25 glute bridges

30 mountain climbers


SPECIFIC WARM-UP


Shoulder press

10 shoulder press with an empty barbell:

- Reps 1-3: Focus on a full range of motion

- Reps 4-6: Focus on maintaining midline stabilization

- Reps 7-10: Focus on creating a straight bar path


Build-up

Build up to first working set by performing 3 sets of 3 shoulder presses, increasing in load.

> First working set should be approximately 80% of 1 rep max

Globo scale: as rxed. Set up in a rack and do it. If a barbell is not available use dumbbells for the strict presses, doing AMRAP sets if you max out. You can also sub strict deficit HSPU or strict HSPU if a bodyweight sub is needed.



SLIPS: see the above post. For stretching doing a ROMWOD or M-Wod session is OK. A Yoga session is also good here.

INTENDED STIMULUS


Of all the barbell lifts the press is the one with the most interesting history --google it. It used to be considered the epitome of strength. For us, it has two primary purposes. First, to develop shoulder flexion and arm extension. Second, as with anything overhead to make us work trunk stability and control --posture. This implies that when we are pressing overhead, those should be the points of performance we are trying to achieve. Start each press by always creating a solid foundation, align your rib cage and your pelvis, hold your belly tight, squeeze your butt a little, and press that barbell up. For the shoulder and the arms to work, you need to keep that bar path beautiful. Don't let that bar circle around your face. Press it up and back! Today we want to challenge our press and see how heavy we can go. Keep pressing that bar up while your mechanics let you. Athletes that have reduced shoulder mobility and cannot really achieve good posture while pressing should work on shoulder flexion flexibility and can press while kneeling with dumbbells. The kneeling position will force you to keep up a better posture. Whatever you do, brace yourself!


SLIPS

let's go back to our dynanic SLIPS. We did last in 190826. This time increase the hold in each position.

Cycle through these drills. Do 3-5 transitions on each station.

â–¶ Transitions from front scale to back scale on each leg: the idea is to keep your balance during the transition, just one foot on the ground. Hold each scale for 5 seconds on each transition.

â–¶ L-Sit to tuck on rings: transition from a tuck hold to an L-sit, and back. Hold both positions for 5 seconds. If not proficient with the L-sit yet, transition from a support hold to a tuck hold and back.

â–¶ Inversion: transition from a handstand to a tuck headstand. If not proficient with the handstand yet, transition from a full headstand to a tuck headstand and back. Hold each position for 5 seconds. If not proficient with the headstand tuck hold (tripod position), practice that today.

â–¶ Planks: guess what? Push-ups are dynamic planks. Today transition from a gymnastics plank position to the bottom of a push up hold, and back. Hold each position for 5 seconds. Do this on a rack if needed.

â–¶ Stretching: Google: thebarbellphysio overhead mobility. Choose one stretch. Work on it for 2:00.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Holy pants, Dr. Seyfried’s lecture is ridiculous. I’m pausing halfway through to write this briefly then finishing the video. I usually accept everything — or at least almost everything — that comes from HQ without question. But it’s really cool to see the foundation behind the stuff. And dude is a legit presenter.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I want to make my shoulders, midline, and legs stronger. This is a workout I skip the most for my gym because it’s boring and it’s no one’s fault but my own. I’m on it!


GROUP VERSION: as is, just more reps if needed and do some SLIPS in between sets. But consider the handstands and L-sits might be rough considering today and yesterday’s workouts.


INJURY VERSION:

We have: max effort, rest, overhead, pushing, holding the midline still, and SLIPS, all the SLIPS. Pick one thing you can do and do some of them coupled with one SLIP. Then rest, then try and do more. Repeat 7 times.


WARMUP:

Handstand — overhead prep

Pull-up — overhead plus hang from some things

Hollow hold — midline prep for overhead

Hey Chris, sometimes when I go heavy on should press I get a sore neck. Have you run into this with people? Maybe something about my alignment or mobility.

I was literally mashing out my shoulders after this workout because of the same thing. Mine catches on the descent especially - feels like the very base of my neck, right above the t-spine.


First, check your head/shoulder position. If you start with your shoulders rolled forward in the front rack and shoot your head "through the window" at the top then you'll get a sore neck for sure.


Secondly, mash the craw out of your t-spine. Use a lacrosse ball to get the spots in between the spine and shoulder blade, and anything harder than a foam roller go after extension as a whole.
