1-1-1-1-1-1-1

We had 4 PR’s today! Great work, everyone!!

Skills:
Sections 1-4 of The Burgener Warm-Up WMV MOV
Section 1: Power Position into a triple extension and shrug
Section 2: S1 + Scarecrow position with the elbows high and outside
Section 3: S1+S2 + External Rotation for a Muscle Snatch
Section 4: With the Bar overhead you transition from your pulling foot position into your receiving foot position. Make some noise!

The hard soles of Olympic Weightlifting shoes:
Do not compress under load which eliminates instability.
Cause downward forces to be transfered more directly.
Have raised heels which increase the ankle’s potential range of motion and lead to a more acute knee angle

These benefits are true for both the fast and slow lifts. You can purchase a pair Here

5 Rounds For Time of:
5 Presses
20 Lateral Jumps Over the Barbell
5 Squat Cleans
5 Thrusters

Skills:
We worked on the Power Position and Scoop with PVC’s.

Great work to all the CrossFit South Brooklyn beginners who did an awesome job today learning the CF WU and getting a taste of Cindy. Please remember to do your homework and read "What is Fitness?" by Greg Glassman.

I’m a big fan of minimalist approaches to fitness. Check out this video of "The Patch", an awesome tool for functional and athletic training. Many of the exercises performed here can be mimicked in a playground whenever you find yourself gym-less or in the mood for some fresh air and free movement.
