In any sport or fitness activity that you continue to participate in over time at some point you may encounter either a tweak, a pull, or an injury. As you recover and make your way back (or work around it) there is some common sense to use to make sure you rehab properly and avoid further injury. Read the below link for how to approach recovery and reintroduction of CrossFit after an injury.

Scaling the handstand push-up to the box or floor pike push-up or the seated or standing dumbbell press is a preferred way to building strength, coordination and proper positioning before going inverted. In our gym these two methods are the progression to follow before going inverted.

While the CrossFit Team Series has another week to go in October, the Invitational is right around the corner. Team Canada has been announced and now we wait for Team USA, Team Europe, and Team Australia.
