Friday we held our first Crossfit Total Competition. Our class started 6 weeks ago. We worked 3 lifts: The Squat, Press, and Deadlift. Everyone hit new PR's for all there lifts, PLUS both Asja and Renae got their first static pull ups!
Check out the schedule for our next 6 week powerlifting program.
Yesterday we learned the hang squat clean. This move takes alot of speed, power, coordination, and agility. As well, it increases your cardiovascular endurance when doing high reps. This movement uses hip extension (the essence of any athletic move i.e. running, jumping, pulling, throwing) with weight giving you a good dose of cardio, increased VO2 max, and speed.
Everyone has their own reasons for training. Some people want to lose weight, others want to get stronger, and others want to get better at the sports they love to do. Why do you do Crossfit? Email us we would love to know.
Welcome to all the new clients who joined our crossfit classes this month. Mario, Aleha, Meaghan, Cindy, Lisa, Elaine and Danielle. Stoked your working out with us!
Pull ups are a big part of the Crossfit workouts. Everyone wants one and we want you to get one too! Three ways you can get your pullups.
1) Warm up before each workout with pull ups. Do 3-5 reps for 3 rounds. If you can't do full pull ups, jump up to the bar then slowly lower yourself down.
2) Assisted pull ups. Get your friend to help you up to the bar. Start by trying to pull yourself up, then when you can't pull anymore get your friend to give you a little push to help you finish.
3) Get your coach to teach you the kipping pull up. Practicing and doing this movement will increase your static pull ups
Get your day started before everyone else! Get an awesome workout, meet some cool people, and watch the sun come up! Morning Class Schedule.
The Push Jerk increases your athleticism and enables you to lift 30% more than your push press. Being able to push heavy loads overhead gives you the ability to increase your hip speed, power, flexibility, posterior chain, and midline stabilization. Push Jerk video.
