Tip & Technique: Burpee Combos part IV "Cirbies"

Ok, last one. The dreaded Cirbie. The video is pretty self explanatory. Keys to success here, you're no pushing this weight up with your arms. I'll say it again. This is not an overhead press. You are throwing the weight ballistically with your hips. As the weight is ascending, allow your body to sink under the bar. This allows you to achieve lockout in your arms and keep the majority of the lifting shifted into the huge muscle groups in your legs. Bigger muscle groups = ability to lift heaver loads.

Have fun and train safe!

Now MOVE!
