I found the Twisted Cross stretch to be good at preparing the shoulder for bench press.

Taken from the Repwerks WOD from June 29...

3 rounds of

  • Max effort Bench Press @ 75% of 1RM
  • Rest 90 seconds

Then EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 3 x Close Grip Bench Press

Then for time (reminded at breakfast last Sunday that I have not done these for a long time)

  • 100 x Alternating Dumbbell Snatches @ 20kg (50 per hand)
  • EMOM stop and do 5 x Toes to Bar

Results: Bench Press used 155lbs and 105lbs respectively. Max effort Bench 8-6-6 reps per round. Metcon 9:45.

5 rounds of

  • 5 x Bent Barbell Rows
  • 5 x Dips
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then 3 rounds of

  • 10 x Barbell Bent Rows @ 65% from above

Then 3 rounds for time (Inspired by the Juneteenth WOD from Wodwell CF)

  • 60 Double Unders
  • 20 x Dumbbell Hang Power Clean @ 12kg
  • 20 x Devil Press @ 12kg
  • 20 x Russian Twist @ 12kg (l+r=1 rep)

Results: Barbell Rows 65-75-85-95-105lbs. Used 65lbs for part 2. Metcon 21:57. Looked easy enough at first glance but turned out to be really challenging. I would hate to image how bad it would have been to do the full WOD which was 6 rounds.
