Rooted
We have been told by some that a slogan like "Rooted in Strength" may be intimidating to new members or members who have never experienced Weightlifting, CrossFit, or a group exercise environment - that it may come off as, "if you are not already strong, then you need not apply." This could not be farther from the truth, however, because this line of thinking assumes that "Strength" in thi

DON’T FIGHT A LOSING BATTLE 🥩
•
It’s important to remember that your workout only accounts for a small portion of your daily caloric burn. Trying to outwork bad nutrition is a game that you can’t sustainably win. If you want your potential RESULTS that you’re WORKING HARD for in the gym to MANIFEST and become reality, focus on dialing your nutrition. If you NEED HELP, then DM us to set up a FREE nutrition consultation!

WHAT SKILL ARE YOU WORKING ON? ⤵️
•
One of the coolest aspects of CrossFit, is that there’s always another skill to conquer. Achieving the ability to do a new skill, and do it well, takes an intentional effort from an athlete. Sometimes that looks like staying after class to get a few more reps in. Other times it takes looking up a YouTube video to study a movement. For some, that’s enough for the new skill to click. For others, the best answer might be working 1-ON-1 with a coach. If that’s you, then reach out through DMs or TALK TO ONE OF OUR COACHES!

PROPER PUSH JERK RECEIVE POSITION ⤵️
•
Knees over toes, butt back, upper back extension, torso slightly leaned forward, bar stacked over upper back. These are the things we are looking for when we receive a push jerk overhead. We will be spending a lot of time working on this positioning throughout our current lifting cycle.

METCON TIP MONDAY ⚡️
•
TUESDAY 📅
Metcon -
13 min AMRAP:
8 push jerks
13 box jump overs
7 chin-ups
•
1️⃣For the push jerk… DON’T dead stop on your shoulders each rep. Go with the bar as it descends to shoulders, think domino effect.
2️⃣ For the box jump overs… stay low to the box and step down. No need to waste time and energy landing high on the box or standing up on top.

WHY BLOCK CLEANS?
•
This cycle we are attacking block cleans from just above the knee. Yesterday we set a 4 rep max to begin the cycle. There are two specific reasons why this lift is important.
•
1️⃣By cutting the pull in half & starting at a dead stop, it forces you to accelerate the bar more rapidly. This helps you develop a stronger second & third pull in the clean.
2️⃣By setting up above the knee, it helps us reinforce proper body positioning at the above knee position. This is a common spot to mess up on position while performing a full clean.

GETTING BETTER AT PULL-UPS WITH NEGATIVES 🧠
•
Listen to Coach John as he explains his favorite accessory movement for getting better at pull-ups. Pay attention to the pointers he gives for body positioning while performing the movement.
•
Adding a handful of reps a couple days/week, is a great way start building that pull-up strength!

FIXING YOUR SHOULDER POSITION IN YOUR CLEAN/SN**CH
•
One common error that coaches have been seeing during the OLY lifts at the gym is “shoulders rising to fast.” This leaves shoulders behind the bar as the bar crosses the knees. Watch Coach Garrett correct Coach Cole’s positioning. “Shoulders over the bar” is what we want to see from all of our athletes.
