Unilateral, not Lopsided


JT Scott | 12/13/2017 | 2

We’re digging into Nick’s bag of tricks for today’s workout. Although squats and deadlifts and presses are super useful and functional movement patterns, much of what we do in everyday life is done with one arm applying force or with one foot planted.

Today we’re going to be using the strength and stability we’ve been building and learning to apply it a little differently. Side-to-side jumping puts lateral stress on our joints, lunging gets us using a good single leg drive, and then with both feet planted we’ll be using an amazing amount of uncoiling drive along the midline to punch a heavy DB overhead.

JT is coaching the morning, Nick is on for the evening. We’ll be excited to explore these patterns with you and find ways to get your body applying force in a novel fashion.

WOD:
6 Rounds for Time
20 Lateral Jumps over DB
10 (R) Single Arm DB Push Press
10 Goblet Lunge Steps
10 (L) Single Arm DB Push Press
10 Pullups

* Use one DB. RX is 50/35.
* HARD CAP: 25 Minutes

    Shoulders felt really junky today (maybe leftovers from the snatches and HSPUs on Tuesday?). For the future, I was really surprised at how little control I had on the left side. Something to work on!
