Good                                                        Not so good

Holding weight overhead is an important aspect to our fitness.  Understanding the "active shoulder" is critical to success with weight overhead.  In an overhead lift, the shoulders should be shrugged into your ears and shoulder blades slightly retracted.  The barbell should also be in line with your shoulders and back of your head.  At full ROM, your ears should not be visible behind you shoulders.

SWOD: The CrossFit Total:

Perform a 1rm in each of the following lifts:
- Back Squat
- Shoulder Press
- Deadlift

After a good warm up, you will have three attempts at a max single for each of the three lifts. Your score will be the heaviest single rep of each lift added together. You must complete the lifts in the order listed, and in the hour provided for class. So take your rest periods between attempts, but move quickly also! Compare your score today with your score from 6 weeks ago here. If you've followed the strength programming correctly and as rx'd this past 6 weeks, there is no way you will not PR!

Compare to 4.02.11
