Individual stability

So many of our typical CrossFit movements involve inherent balance left to right.  While this often allows us to put substantial load through our system, it misses some important engagement that is very useful for us in the hips and shoulders.  Our strength work today will address some of these skills.  Our dumbell floor presses will force each shoulder to find its own stability rather than relying on the opposite shoulder to help.  And the single leg deadlift will be on one leg, so, there you go.  Choose loads that you can stabilize properly.

STR:

Dumbell floor press
8-8-8-8
Single leg dead lift
8-8-8-8

WOD:

6-5-4-3-2-1
Pistols (L)
Pistols (R)
Shoulder over head (135/95)

    STR: I liked doing the press exercises, we should do them more often.

    WOD: 5:00
    Pistols – plate + 5# counterweight. I’m still struggling to balance on the way up without the counterweight.
    Shoulder over head @ 85#
