Coaches Notes

This one's a doozy! Well, all of the Open workouts generally are. To help prepare, here are some areas I would focus on during warm up. Just ask a coach if you need advice on some drills that will hit the areas listed below.

Hamstrings: Tight hamstrings = blown up back. Make sure and start with some good foam rolling and then lots of dynamic drills to get them nice and loosened up.

Upper Back: Hammer at the T-Spine by arching along a PVC pipe. The more upper back mobility, the less hyperextension your lumbar will get when placing the bar overhead.

Teres / Lats: These are those super fun muscles near the under side of your armpit that seem to always be tender. When these are tight, extending your arms overhead becomes a lot tougher which will cause shoulder fatigue much faster. Spend some time with a lacrosse ball tacking down tight areas. Once you find a gnarly spot, apply pressure and reach your arm straight overhead to extend the muscle.

Important Reminder

Due to the CrossFit Open, we will not have our evening classes on Fridays.
