Is there a specific press we should do?
Love the JoePa quote at the bottom.
We ARE....
Good video Dan. I have deer hunted for many years, but have never been in a position to be able to elk hunt, looks awesome.
I agree with your assessment that physical fitness is important. My hunts are not as physical as yours, but hunting public land successfully means you have to work at it. I like to get in to where other hunters won't go, which also means I have to get my meat out the same distance.
Jenn:
As far as I know they usually mean barbell overhead press (or military press). But I guess you could be doing pushpress as long as you are doing really heavy ones.
id assume a standing OH press
@ Jenn
Most likely shoulder press. On Crossfit Football it's (shoulder press) abbreviated to just press.
Nice article. Gotta have good form! Push it but be smart about it.
Nothing personal, but that men's health article is simply terrible. I won't even spend the time to critique it. Just read some of the comments, they do a good job of showing just how bad it really is.
Need some help...new to crossfit and I have no clue what this means?
newbie question: if this is a shoulder press and we're going for weight here, would it be wise to use the sit down press bench for back support or is standing the emphasis?
@Justin #12, on the left hand side of the main site screen, click on Exercises and Demos (Alphabetical order). I also use YouTube often. Good luck!
Good to see you on the mainsite again, Dan Staton
#12 Justin: The workout is ten sets of two reps with 60 sec rest between sets. Press is likely shoulder press, there are two videos that show the difference between shoulder press/push press/push jerk out there under the demos. I would also go to the Brand X forum and look for WOD scaling, it is usually posted a short time after the main site workout.

i understand that the physical aspect of the hunt is awesome, i just don`t get the killing part.
Mac, you should definitely stand. Being able to balance and hold the weight overhead is part of the exercise. Standing overhead movements require you to hold your midline still.
john jaco: it's pretty simple, actually. Since we're human, we want to kill the elk before we eat it--as opposed to a pack of wolves that would start to eat it while still alive.
#23:
A parallel to your statement would be: " I really like to work all day, but I just don't understand why I have to get paid."

All strict shoulder presses: no knee bend, bar does not stop on the way up, full lockout at top. Strictly adhering to the 60 second rest period really starts to catch up to you in the last half of this workout.

#15 TMW - Don't know if anyone answered your question, but from what I've seen on here folks will do a weight they know they can get on the first few sets and challenge themselves in the later sets. But you probably already figured that out seeing the f=fail next to some of the listed weights.

Much better than last time. Intent was to start at 175x2. But my shoulders were pretty achey today and 175 only went up once. Still, I'm satisfied with hitting 170x2 four times.

Finished with three sets of HSPU to failure. 14, 10, 9. Lost my balance on last set, probably could have got one or two more.
Also lifted a bit last night with some friends, set a new 2RM shoulder press at 155lb and tied my 1RM of 165lb.
By the time I was done with my Saturday shopping the gym was closed. So did 10x5 partial HSPUs in the backyard instead.

That was one great hunting video, this is going to be my first bow hunting season. Wish some of those elk would come by Jersey but don't see that happening any time soon. I am hoping to settle for a nice Buck given the chance. Anyone know a good places to look for butchering techniques and recipes for venison?
