The Presses, Part 1: The Strict Press

"These lifts are enormous aids to developing the power zone (hip flexors, hip extensors, spinal erectors, and quadriceps). As the athlete progresses through the lifts, the importance of core to extremity muscle recruitment is learned and reinforced. This is foundational to the effective and efficient performance of athletic movement, and alone would justify the practice and training of these lifts." (CrossFit Journal, 2003).

Love this! Reminds me my L1 course. Gave me such a great insight what CrossFit really is. It's been already 6 years but still one of my favourite memory regarding CrossFit courses. I wish you guys will upload more of this longer content from previous L1 and L2.

The strict press is just known as the Press (because the Press is always strict lol).
