Press and Crawl

9 Shoulder presses
Inchworm 40 feet
12 push presses
Inchworm 40 feet
15 push jerks

What’s an inchworm?  You start from standing and then reach down towards your toes.  Put your palms flat.  Ideally, they’d be right in front of your feet but put them as close to the tips of your shoes as you can.  From there, make small steps with your hands, extending yourself into a push up position or even a bit further if you can.  While moving your hands, keep your feet still.  Finally, anchoring the hands down, move the feet forward in small steps until they meet your hands or get as close as you can.  Snake crawl (or army crawl) on the belly makes a good sub if inchworm is too difficult.

For the presses, the goal was to pick a weight that, fully rested, you could do 9 continuous reps of shoulder press.  Using that same weight, you’d end up doing 12 reps of push press and 15 reps of push jerks each round.  By the 2nd and 3rd round, some folks had to break up their sets.
