Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Easy

This appears to be an incomplete workout description with only 'Single Arm DB Press' listed. Without rep scheme, weight, time domain, or other movements, this represents a basic unilateral pressing movement that most CrossFitters can perform with appropriate weight selection. The single-arm nature provides built-in rest between sides, and pressing movements are fundamental skills with manageable fatigue patterns.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Strength (8/10): Primary focus on maximal force production through shoulder and arm muscles, typically performed with challenging loads for strength development.
• Stamina (4/10): Unilateral pressing creates moderate muscular endurance demand, especially in stabilizing muscles and core throughout multiple repetitions per arm.
• Flexibility (3/10): Requires adequate shoulder mobility and thoracic spine extension for proper overhead positioning, moderate range of motion demands.
• Power (2/10): Generally performed as controlled strength movement rather than explosive pressing, minimal power component unless specifically programmed for speed.
• Endurance (1/10): Single arm dumbbell press typically involves short sets with rest periods, minimal cardiovascular demand unless programmed as high-volume circuit.
• Speed (1/10): Typically performed with deliberate tempo focusing on control and strength rather than rapid cycling or quick transitions.

Movements

• Dumbbell Shoulder Press

Benchmark Notes

Single Arm DB Press is a unilateral strength movement that tests shoulder stability, core engagement, and pressing power. Since this was scored as 'Other/Text' but appears to be strength work, I'm treating this as a max load workout. For single arm dumbbell pressing, the loads are significantly lower than bilateral movements due to the unilateral stability demands and core engagement required. Starting from basic movement patterns: a beginner might press 15-20 lbs, intermediate athletes 25-35 lbs, and advanced athletes 40-55+ lbs per arm. The single arm nature requires significant anti-rotation core strength and shoulder stability, limiting the loads compared to bilateral pressing. L1 (15 lbs) represents someone new to the movement focusing on form, L5 (35 lbs) represents a solid intermediate athlete, and L9 (55 lbs) represents advanced athletes with excellent unilateral strength and stability. These benchmarks account for the technical demands of maintaining proper posture and control throughout the pressing motion.
