Welcome, Valley CrossFit

Slideshow for "push press" and "push jerk" won't load for me. Any other links or descriptions handy?
What is the downside of using a Smith machine for these exercises and those we did today? To my mind it allows me to lift a higher weight with a reduced risk of injury, which has to be good.
I'm sure there's a strong counter-argument, does anyone know what it is?
what are the specifics of the shoulder press?
so what's the difference between a push press and a shoulder press?
Don't use a Smith machine--the value in these exercises is largely in their athletic nature. Using a Smith machine locks you into a plane of motion that is unnatural for the movements.
In short, you are losing benefits AND you will probably eventually develop knee, hip, back or shoulder problems from the Smith's forced up-and-down motion. A good rule of thumb is to always use barbells, dumbells, or kettlebells for all of your weight work.
"What is the downside of using a Smith machine for these exercises and those we did today? To my mind it allows me to lift a higher weight with a reduced risk of injury, which has to be good."
You will not be stabilizing the weight yourself, which is a main part of the benefit. It would be better to use a lighter weight that you can perform the exercise with great form, and still get the benefit of core stabilization, than to use the Smith machine. Another downside of the smith machine is that it locks the path of the barbell into a straight course, whereas your body's natural motion isn't exactly a straight line. This has been shown to cause injuries in the shoulder girdle.
So, just drop the weight a bit, and get the full benefit!
sorry, I must have been typing at the same time!
Matthew, I think that the argument against using a Smith machine is that your muscles are missing out on the stabilizing and balance work that they otherwise would get with the traditional barbell versions of yesterday and todays WOD.
The traditional barbell lifts are more functional and realistic movements IMO, for example the back squat is analagous to the fireman's carry. On the Smith machine the range of motion is limited since you don't have to worry about the weight moving forwards or backwards (only up & down). Whereas if you are fireman's carry a person you really need to balance that body weight else you could do a faceplant with all that body coming down on you.
It's been argued that kettlebells or other odd type objects (Strongman) are beneficial in developing those stabilizing muscles too.
I think that weightlifting gurus (which I am not) would probably argue that doing more weight on a Smith machine is not safer and may even be promoting bad form and technique.

Try clicking on "Presses" video. It shows all three.
Looking fwd to building more core strength.
Thanks everyone. Points taken.
Ooh la la, I'm getting that warm, fuzzy feeling...love doing the presses!
shoulders in ears, people!
Coach's words: "'How', you might ask, 'would someone injure themselves lifting overhead?' By lifting overhead with an inactive shoulder is one obvious answer. When lifting overhead, working to put the shoulder in your ear protects the shoulder. I first learned this as a young gymnast."
Do it(head nod)...do it.
BW: 165lbs.
Shoulder Press: 95,115,125,135,145lbs.
Push Press: 135,155,165,175,185lbs.
Push Jerk: 135,175,185,195,205lbs.
Kevinhodges I had the same problem till I downloaded a java program and it fixed it
Jess Woody I have a Free Spotter that the bar hangs on ropes. when you take up the weight it works in all directions for all the benifits. If you fail in a lift you just let go and it hangs in the air where you left it.

Great website Valley CrossFit, looks you have some fun toys to play with up there also.
Thanks CJ for the tip on looking at the presses video.

Bench press 70x3x3
DL - 110x5x5
Looks like a fun day I look forward to it.
Question is everyone using the same hand spacing for all lifts? I was planning on using the grip I do cleans with. Thanks.
Yo Philly!
I am a few days behind - will catch this WOD on Thurs
Bwt: 117
SP: 85/95/105/115/120

PJ: 95/105/115/125/130
Too distracted and tired to safely put up more weight.
Question...
I have done seated military presses for years with no resulting shoulder problems, and it is a rom that I find easy and comfortable to complete. People have always tried to get me to do them from the front saying they are safer.
What is the feeling from crossfit? Today's WOD doesn't specify...behind or in front of the neck? Standing or sitting?
40 x 5
42.5, 45, 47.5, 47.5, 50
50 kilos
Worked my way up to 160 lbs. max. Failed at 165. Every movement from the floor.
PHILLY was an awesome time (still hurtin)
I'm going to go for this one w/o the smith machine. Should be a fun one.
Pwoodruff, you aren't always going to have a bench around to sit on and support your back so from a functional perspective, you will want to go with standing presses. Not to mention you can't do push press and push jerk while seated.
As far as behind the neck or in front, I always found BTN uncomfortable on my shoulders and have also been advised that it is less safe than in front (don't have references to hand but will try to find them if you want).
For technique cues have a look at the vid below (was linked above earlier but deleted in a clean up I guess):

all weight in lbs.
SP: 50, 60, 70, 85, 95
PP: 105, 115, 125, 135F x 2, 130
JP: 135, 135, 140, 145F + 145 success, 145F + 145 success
Lost my nerve on a couple of the lifts. No safe way / place to bail. Also need to work on JP form; don't think i was getting low enough because i my arms weren't quite locked once i hit the ground.
SP: 95, 105, 115, 120, 125(fail)
PP: 125, 135, 145, 145, 135
PJ: Uncomfortable with the body movement so I performed with the 45lb bar.
-Finished with some pull-ups & push-ups.
CFwu then,

PP: 115/125/135/135/135
PJ: 135/135/135/155 Fail/135/135
Should've rested more between sets. Need work on Push Jerk.
SP- 115/125/135/145/155
PP- 165/175/185/195/205
PJ- 215/225/235/245/255
Everything went pretty smoothly, I probably could have used 10lbs more on each set. But I had nothing to go off of... Never done this workout before.
What does it mean to do 1-1-1-1-1
For example SP 1-1-1-1-1, does that mean that I only lift the bar once, than add more weight, go back into position and lift the bar only once, etc..? Or does "1" imply doint several lifts with the same weight from the same starting position?
Thanks
worm:
You got it the first time . . . one rep, add more weight, one rep, add more weight.
This pattern doesn't show up in the WOD very often (so no need to worry about the lack of "cardio"); it's a "max effort" kind of day . . . trying to build up to a true all-out 1-rep-max as the last lift in each of 5 efforts per movement.
SP 135-165-175-185-190
PP 195-200-205-210-215
PJ 220-225-230-235-240
worked up to 220, i think i could have done more, im not sure if my technique on the push jerk was as good as it could have been. it felt like i was using my shoulders to push more than getting under the bar and pushing it up with my legs. is that right?
2nd day of a technical WOD.
Whats up tomorrow, FGB??

All weights cleaned from deck. Cleaned 245 easily, but lacked the proper speed and power to lock it out today.
PJ
Realized today my PJ's need lots of work, as I cant PJ what I can PP. Not sure why. I think its the speed that I am lacking, to get under the bar for the second dip and drive.
Will be away for a couple days as I have a comp this coming saturday.
Steveo
Body weight 84kg
All loads in kg and all weights cleaned from floor
SP: 45 - 55 - 65 - 70 - 75(fail)
PP: 75 - 80(failed clean*2) - 70*2 - 75(chinned myself on 2nd rep!) - 75
PJ: 55*2 - 60 - 65(PP then PJ) - 70(PP then PJ)
Good day out. Haven't shoulder pressed in years so happy with 70kg. Should have looked at the PP Max Effort day so I could have at least matched PR(77.5)but will get it next time.
Have not done PJ before and it is a lot subtler than expected. My body really wanted to PP but I made sure to reinforce with a PJ before dropping the weight. Can't believe that I am push-pressing same load as I am front squatting (both held back at the moment by my ability to clean the bar).
Fun WOD
Cheers, kempie
There has to be bonus points for those of us who not only lift the weight from the deck, but also have to lower it from above our heads, in a controlled manner.
This is really beginning to be a pain in the ass. Think its time to invest in some bumpers.
:)
Steveo
Good luck with your comp Steveo! Are you up for another strongman event??
Cheers, kempie
Knock 'em flat, Steveo!
Nice work Valley CF! Way to spread the love in SoCal.
Today will be better than yesterday. My upper lifts are way better than the squats, and I know that's not right.
Shoulder Press: 95lbs, 115lbs, 125lbs, 135lbs (fail), 125lbs
Push Press: 135lbs, 145lbs, 155lbs, 145lbs
Push Jerk: 135lbs, 145lbs, 155lbs, 165lbs (fail), 155 lbs
Shoulder Press: 40#, 40#, 40#, 40#, 40#
I tried 45# and failed.
Push Press: 45#, 45#, 45#, 45#, 45#
This is a PR. The last time we did these I was working with 30#.
Push Jerk: 30#, 30#, 30#, 30#, 30#
I tried 40# and failed.
I finished up with some assisted pull-ups, jump rope practice, & stretching.
Thanks for the response Kempie. Your points make sense. Reading that, seeing the video then re reading coachs instructions again, it all became clear. Duh! The basic press is the same all the way through, but the second and third movements are slightly different allowing more weight to be used, hence coach's request to increase the load on each of the 15 sets, not just within the individual exercise; your end #age of the sh press is at least the starting #age of the push press; then your end weight of the push press is at least the starting #age of the push jerk! Anyways...
sh press; 125, 135, 140(f), 135, 135
push press; 145, 155, 170, 190(f), 185
push jerk,lowered my starting weight as this movement is new to me; 170, 175(f), 160, 170, 180(f)
All weights taken from the floor. Tried to go up by 20 lbs each lift. Felt a little tired so was unable to get a PR. 3rd WO today.

This workout was too easy. When you are a physical specimen like big darryl is you really need to do allot more. I did this WOD as Rxd three times in a row. Here is my load.

"Big Darryl" needs to learn how to spell "CrossFit" and "a lot" while following the instrx for the WOD.
huh, i didnt know the tough guy convention was coming to town.

PP: 145/145/155/160/165
PJ: 175/175/185/195/195
tried split jerks on the first two jerks, but i didnt feel comfortable w/ them...probably because i never do them. anyway, switched to regular push jerk and felt better. need to work on those splits.
swim WOD later (B4 if the pool has a brick, otherwise, D1) as well as bar muscleup work tonight.
95/105/115/125/135
140/145/150/155/160

I rode 20k home from work (cycling) and the did the WOD
worked my way up to 135# in the push jerk and started failing at 140# in split jerk
Technique was the problem no doubt as I have never really done them before
Live strong!

I really don't have much confidence in my PJ yet. Especially with no bumpers. I feel like I could do more, but don't want to get kicked out of the gym if I drop the weight from up high.

I had vowed to take a week of rest...then you start dropping the max-effort days (which I love). Skipped yesterday because of a busted-up knee. Thought I'd give today a go...
Shoulder Press: 85#, 95#, 105#, 110#, 115# (at this point, my wrist was hurting a bit, but I said, eh, what the hell...)
Push Press: 125# at that point, I had to quit, it's already been a month since I sprained my wrist, and I tweaked it pretty good...ugh. Otherwise, fun times :D

The PJ was the hardest. Balance and form began to really suffer on PJ and towards the end of PP.
sorry, typo. PF=PJ in that earlier post.
Cisco CrossFit team (Bricker and Brand for today) executed WoD as follows: (in lbs)

- PJ @ 95, 95, 95, 115, 135.
Hope you guys don't mind....just wanted to say I got my first muscle ups today. Did yesterday's WOD since I'm a day behind, then worked on MU form until I did one. Then just so I knew it wasn't a fluke, did two consecutive MU's.
Had to tell somebody since nobody I know can appreciate it.
BTW, I'm 39 years old and consider myself to be in excellent shape. But compared to the people who post here, I've got a long way to go.
Thanks for the inspiration my fellow Crossfit kool-aid drinkers!!
Congrats Tom!

I'm in the military, and I was wondering what some of you guys do for workouts when you are on det.
Henry Rollins said to find out what lesson the iron has for you each day. Today's lesson, talk with the iron more often. Get stronger. Post bigger numbers slowly, not too fast.
All numbers are maxes. BW 215 (yahoo! was 223 and climbing)
SP: 95 (PR for me, I always used the hips ala push press)
PP: 135 (more may have been possible)
PJ: 145 (I know 160 is my max, but form went to hell and 135 became a chore)
Steveo, I hear you about lowering the weight, but that's the price I pay for having no room for a home gym and the wife will not park her princess mobile outdoors.
As for the "allot" comments: As it was used in the post above, "allot" was incorrect. As in "I can do allot more." Should have been a lot. Two words. Always has been; always will be.
"Allot" means to dole out or portion. But then, those posts above may not be there come tomorrow, so Brian, don't delete this one because I need the records of my lifts (even if they are puny).
Dan,

Droped down in weight due to shoulder pain. I did what perceived to be putting my shoulders in my ears during the lift, But history of bad shoulders got to me. I know I could get more, but not much. Must work on form! It's motivating to see some of the weight being lifted here. Can't weight for those to be my posts.

I just looked at the push jerk slideshow on the exercise page and realized I was doing it wrong. I was doing split jerks not push jerks.

An overall crappy effort, I had a tough time getting into this one due to my wonky shoulder.

mostly just a warm up so as not to get too sore after a layoff. felt good and i should not be very sore. will jump into it a little harder tomorrow
I forgot I also hit the thai pads for three rds of 2 minutes 100% intensity, skipped rope for 3 rnds of three minutes and subsequently ran a 7m flat mile on the treadmill
Hihaaaaaaaaaa !!! was a good day
Could not get to gym today so did HSPU's came down by 1 each round from 13. BWT-185

At least I was able to squat clean 175. I power cleaned it last time.
practiced a headstand to work my neck muscles. Stayed up 5:30 using finger tips for balance and my foot on a wall periodically. This seems easier the more you try and not use the wall.

First time exercise on the PJs so awful form. Some were little more than PPs with a little bit of dip to catch. I was moving the weight so I decided to try for ME rather than go low weight and dial in the exercise. Lesson learned.
Finished with 20 minutes of pull-up and chin-up sets ala "grease the groove" while watching the Mariners toss another one.
Not really clear on what a Push Jerk is. Maxed out at 150 on the pp
