She came in like a ninja and just started crushing weights and motoring through workouts.  This strong mama primarily attends the 9am class, but you better believe she has already put on her positive pants by that morning hour- she is smiling, receptive and ready!

For Thursday’s conditioning workout, help on the Shoulder Press, visit web the bar comes from the ground.  There should be NO HIP DRIVE.  We never do this at CFO – it’s always a shoulder to overhead, or push press, or split jerk – or some variant of going overhead with hip drive.  You may use your hips to return the bar to your shoulders, but you may not use that hip bump to return the bar overhead.
