Wednesday 101124

Seven rounds for time of:
5 Handstand push-ups
185 pound Deadlift, 10 reps
10 Chest to bar pull-ups
20 Double-unders

 This picture was taken from the CrossFit main site, and it is exactly what we have been trying to reinforce over the last few days.  In the top photo, the knees are tracking inside the foot.  In the bottom photo, the knees are tracking out over the foot, which is correct.  The difference may look slight, but it has a huge impact on your overall squat strength (front, back, and overhead) as well as knee pain (or lack thereof).  We are going back to the basics for the next month.  No front, back, or overhead squats until you can perform a perfect air squat. 








Thanksgiving weekend schedule:
Thursday - closed
Friday - classes at 9:30am & 10:30am
