As we get halfway into this week, remember to always listen to your body telling you to rest.  If you need a day to recover take it.  There is nothing wrong with resting or just coming in for some active recovery/mobilization.  Rest helps us to hit these wods with the intensity that is needed to get the best results.

Today we will get in some push pressing.  Check out the picture above, noting how she starts with the bar on her shoulders with a solid base through her body.  Initially there is a vertical dip that is quickly turned around into a drive up.  Once the hips and knees extend and power has been exerted to the bar, the movement is finished with a press to overhead.
