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