G.R. member Michelle Jerome displays great explosiveness on her Push Presses during Tuesday's night WOD.
NOTES on form:
- nice initial straight dip to start the "push portion"
- the bar remains in contact with the body (clavicular pec area) during the dip (push portion)
- explodes up onto the balls of the feet, transferring the energy and momentum from the hips and lower extremities -to- the upper
- flattening of the feet once the bar rises above the head
- the head is pushed back, allowing the bar to travel in a straight path
- the head comes back to the natural position and active shoulders is achieved
