Push Press and Box Jumps

  Today’s strength workout is a continuation of the 5/3/1 for the Push Press. Now we are utilizing an explosive movement prior to the lift to help increase CNS recruitment. The CNS, if you don’t already know, is the Central Nervous System. It’s comprised of the brain and spinal cord and is the absolute control unit of all aspects of your life. From your breathing, to your sleeping, to your talking, to your mating, without this puppy you are nothing! When can ramp up the CNS prior to your lift to help lift increased poundages. While this is still relatively new to the S&C world, it is a worthwhile tool in the tool box for most. Strength Workout (SWOD) A1.
