Hip function and core strength


Take a good look at some of the shrug pull angles in the Flickr Pictures...
...it's a continued education and understanding of the cues given in class today

You lengthen the spine through a big breath and then flex the abs...
This braces the body; helps make it one unit so the powerful hips and legs can do their work

Another big take-away is the movement and function of the hips in barbell pulls...
You are really dialing in on this!

Yes the deadlift and pull variations will make you a stronger, powerful and better conditioned athlete but...
It's also one of those magical movements that has a huge transfer to everything else we do!

Excellent, excellent progress!
A huge thanks to our coaches who gave some great input and cues today!

Another great day of training in the blue room!
A short core warm-up where some individuals got the extra coaching to help their Kip...
Some Powerful work with the barbell...
And a tough finishing circuit!
Loved it!

We had some surprises...
JUD was back in!
...and the 0730 team had a guest appearance from 2 of our youngest CrossFitters!
