Willkommen zurück, Andy!!

A solid DB rack position keeps the handles just about parallel to the floor with one head of the dumbbell secure on the shoulder. Keep your elbows slightly up and out to maintain postural integrity throughout the movement.

Journaling is an essential part of your training.

Without a record of what you've done, strategizing WODs becomes a guessing game. Your log shouldn't just include the workout, your weights and/or a time. Here are some ideas for better journaling:

+ Track your rep schemes for better "gaming" in future WODs.

+ Keep notes on your reflections post WOD. Did you go too hard in the beginning and gas out? Did you sandbag on one movement? Were you on 2 hours of sleep and hung over?

+ Look forward. Set a goal for yourself next time you meet the workout.

+ Was mobility or muscular imbalance an issue for you on any of the movements? This can help make your accessory work more productive. Attack your weaknesses.

Here is an example:

"Fran" as rx'd 8:56

Thrusters 10-5-3-1-1-1/5-5-3-2/3-3-3

Pull-ups 18-3/10-5/3-3-2-1

"Hard workout, First 10 Thrusters unbroken wrecked me and slowed down my first round. Try 6-5-5-5 next time. Pull-ups weren't too bad, try to do the first and second rounds unbroken. Aim for sub 8:30 next time. It's hard to finish the top ROM with thrusters, better shoulder warm-up and mobility before i hit this again."

Journals are available for $1 at the front desk.

Toe Taps are a Dynamic Range of Motion exercise we do before almost every WOD. Here are some points to consider while doing them:
1. Keep your knee extended as much as possible. Bending your leg takes away much of the value from this movement.
2. Keep your base foot flat on the ground. The heel of the back foot rising is a clear indicator that you're allowing too much of your weight to shift forward.
3. Don't reach for your foot by dropping your shoulders. If you don't have the mobility to touch your hand then limit your range of motion. Think about balancing a book on your hear or pretend that your spine is a stack of coins you don't want to knock over.
