In this photo from oldtimestrongman.com Doug Hepburn is strict pressing 425 lbs. While I would have some concerns with the over extension of his back, you can't argue with the man's strength. The shoulder press is a lift that is difficult to make progress with, but it's not impossible!
Warm Up: Coach's choice.
SWOD: Shoulder Press 4rm, 90% of 4rm x 6, 80% of 4rm x 8
Work up to the highest weight you can lift 4 times with good form. Then, lower the weight to 90% of your 4rm and lift it 6 times. Then lower it to 80% of your 4rm and lift it 8 times. This is called reverse pyramid training and I'm not gonna lie....it's tough.
Metcon: From 2.03.10
For time:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
-Burpees
-Push Press with Shoulder Press 5 RM (check your records or estimate this based on your 4rm today)

-Burpees
-Push Press with Shoulder Press 5 RM (check your records or estimate this based on your 4rm today)

For this metcon you can clean the weight into position for the push press or you can take it off the rack. Your choice!
