Modified Burgener Warm Up – Move with a purpose

1. Down (knee bend, chest up) and finish (shrug) – Speed through the middle
2. 1 + Elbow High & outside – Bar close
3. 1 + 2 + Muscle Snatch – Turnover
4. PVC Overhead Squat – Core strength
5. Snatch lands (starting stance, dropping into a squat, landing in finish stance)

Foundational Movement

Strict Press

Set-up:

• Stance is with the heels at hip width
• Hands just outside the shoulders
• Bar resting on the “rack” or “shelf” created by the shoulders
• Elbows in front of bar; elbows are lower than in the front squat, but not behind the bar
• Keep the chest up and brace the abdominals to maintain a neutral spine
• Closed grip, with thumbs around the bar
• Execution:

• The action is to: press
• Retract the head (head accommodates the bar), and press the bar overhead, finishing with locked arms
• The head can return to its neutral position once the bar has passed
• Finish:

• The movement finishes with the bar locked out overhead in the frontal plane with active shoulders, and hips and knees at full extension
• To return the bar, push the elbows forward and retract the face until the bar is re-racked.
