Beginner:
Shoulder press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
The beginner can do this workout as written. Go to Exercises & Demos on CrossFit.com to review the Shoulder Press listed with the foundational movements. More important than the amount of weight lifted will be creating good lifting habits and technique. Complete a warm-up that increases the heart rate, takes the joints through a full range of motion, and prepares the body for loading. This can include at least 5 warm-up sets of the shoulder press before getting to the first working set of three reps. This first set should feel heavy but allow excellent mechanics. Rest 3-5 minutes between sets and increase the weight only if mechanics are sound.

Intermediate:
Shoulder press 3-3-3-3-3 reps
As with the beginner, ensure a proper warm-up before starting the first working set of three reps. During the shoulder press brace the belly throughout the entire lift while pushing the feet into the ground. Each working set should start at approximately 80% of a previous 1 rep max. Increase and decrease loading as form dictates, but strive to keep all lifts above 80%. Log the heaviest loads lifted with sound mechanics.
