ReplyDeleteI am planning on going for a run tonight before the 530 class if anyone would like to join me. I should be at the box by 5pm dressed and ready to go.
ReplyDeleteTim P ~ Do you think that you could hold another Pose workshop? I would like to learn the correct technique for running, cause I am suffering from significant knee pain recently, which is affecting my squats too. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI have a few freinds wanting to give crossfit a try, but not sure they will go as far to call and schedule there own intro session. Will you be doing a class anytime in the near future that could be open to non-members?
ReplyDeleteYES! I'd be happpy to set up a running workshop on proper form. I have had some others interested too. I will look at the calendar and we can go within the next week as well.
ReplyDeleteMiranda- how far are you running?
ReplyDeleteMel ~ Not sure, maybe a mile, it won't be far cause I only have a 1/2 hour before class starts
ReplyDeleteIf I can get there, I will join you. I need to be a beter runner! I used to be able to run more comfortably and I seem to have lost that lovin feeling! So if you don't mind, I may tag along!

ReplyDeleteThought I'd share makes a good case
Steph, bring 'em to the Lite class. If they like it they can sign up for an Intro!
ReplyDeleteI know this is kind of last minute, but would anyone like to form a team with me for my Mud Run on Saturday? I don't think I complete this alone and I don't want to back out.
ReplyDeleteJason, This is Chris P. #2 (from the fundamentals class). You said you had some "homework" for me since I couldn't get very good depth in my squat, but I forgot to ask you what exactly that entailed! It'd be great if you could let me know what I need to do to increase that depth! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Seth for mastering the kipping pull-up!
ReplyDeleteChris P., no worries about future conflicts, I just changed my sign-off. Just waiting for a third Chris P. to join...although, fun fact, there was a CP (female) at one point...
ReplyDeletewoooooohooooooo for Seth!
ReplyDeleteFirst I'd like to thank the coaches who are far more patient than I would've ever believed...and secondly thanks to donkey for her constant reverse-psychological inspiration during the W.O.D.'s
ReplyDeleteChris P:
ReplyDeleteYou need to do squats facing the wall. For you, I would start about 14 inches away.
1) feet at shoulder distance, toes pointed slightly outward
2) pull your butt back and then drop it down
3) trace your knees over your toes
4) practice getting below parallel
5) put your arms up in the arm in front of you and interlock your thumbs. make sure that your hands do not touch the wall when you squat down. this will force you to activate your lumbar
if you can easily do this, move your feet in and repeat. find the point where you really need to fight not to fall over and this is the spot where you want to do 25 more squats. Ideally you want your toes touching or almost touching the wall and you want to be able to do that comfortably. i do at least 50 a day to get better and I have been squatting for 2 years now.
forgot to tell you to keep your weight in your heels.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thanks Jason!
