Did someone say shoulders??

Its funny how you seemingly can think of a deficancy you have, and it magically appears in a WOD right after you think about it. Mine specifically has been the decline in my shoulder strength over these past couple of weeks. Well, leave it to www.crossfit.com to work on fixing that with today's WOD.

Seven rounds for time of:
75 pound Shoulder Press, 21 reps
21 Back extensions


Make sure you have a stable base, hands at about a clean distance (thumbs length off of hips in the hang) and that you keep a tight core, raise overhead with no dip or bounce, and shoot the head through the gap at the top. Back extensions are completed when you are parallel to the ground. Enjoy this one! And as always, post to comments... you guys are getting lazy with that.

Good shoulder and back workout! We didn't have enough equipment to go for time, but we pushed through as fast as we could with minimal standing around. Everyone used the correct weight, so there was no scaling down. Shoulder presses were definitely kicking my ass, I'll admit it, I had to use a little hip power to complete them. The following completed the WOD.
