This workout should feel like steady aerobic conditioning where you’re able to move at a steady pace for the full 8:00. You should not go so hard that you hit a wall or have to take giant breaks between burpees.
CrossFit Group Class Programming Template (WK3/7)
Press variation 1. Here is Stephen performing a seated kettlebell shoulder press. Relative to the dumbbell shoulder press, this variation requires more shoulder stability because the center of mass of the kettlebell is offset from your palms.
Press variation 2: In this version Dan is performing the bottom’s up Kettlebell Press. This variation will limit the amount of weight lifted much more than a Kettlebell or Dumbbell press but targets the external rotators of the shoulder as well as the grip. In order to keep the kettlebell from falling you’ll need to maintain a tight grip, keep your elbow stacked under your wrist and really use that rotator cuff muscles to keep everything in line during the rep.
