Today, we continue our second strength movement for August. Â The shoulder press is one of the hardest lifts we do in CrossFit. Â Not in technique or require skill, but because it requires brute strength in one muscle ground (the shoulders). Â Almost all other lifts in CrossFit involve our entire body, or involve large muscle groups. Â However, the shoulder press is a stable movement using just our shoulder. Â Keep your core tight and your back flat.
