REMINDER: Southie Skills Lab TONIGHT @ 7pm!
Tonight we are focusing on both the kipping and strict handstand push-up. Come get gymnasty with us!
Over the past week and going forward we have added in some accessory work on some days and more intense warm-ups on others. We have decided that with such an experienced membership that we would start filling the hour with extra components that we hope will further everyone’s fitness gains and help prevent overuse injuries.
We know it is sometimes difficult to see the benefits of accessory work such as bandy pull-aparts and glute bridges, but they help stimulate the smaller muscle groups that work to stabilize the joints and as a result help you get stronger. For those of you that like HGTV, think of it like this: You can lay down tile with the grit alone and it can be completely functional. But, if you put down one of those vinyl underlayments with the grid pattern under the tile you will create an extra barrier to neutralize movement stresses which will protect the tiles from moving out of place and cracking. Thus, allowing the tile to have greater integrity under load. It’s the same with the accessory work. It is helping you build stability to allow you to perform better under load.
So please, take the accessory stuff seriously. Don’t poop out because it might not feel as challenging as a heavy deadlift or a 3 rep push-press. Give it your full effort and work towards becoming bullet proof. And as for the warm-ups, don’t be lazy! You are CrossFitters! You should be using every opportunity to become more fit. Challenging warm-ups will help progress your cardiorespitory capacity as well as get more blood flow to your prime movers. More blood flow to your prime movers will allow for feeling better during the strength portion of the hour and much mightier lifts!!
Let’s work together to become the best version of ourselves possible!
