Quote of the day: “CrossFit is not dangerous. Bad coaching is dangerous, poor movement is dangerous. Ego is dangerous. CrossFit, properly scaled to the individual is the safest and most efficient program available.”
Mikki Martin – 18 August 2009

This quote sums up what I think is the biggest misunderstanding out there about CrossFit. For those who deem it dangerous, it’s no more dangerous than any other physical activity. Choosing the correct affiliate is one of the most important steps someone can make when beginning CrossFit.

Today one of the people that finished our June OnRamp told me how much she loved CrossFit and our gym. She said she has already been surprised at how much progress she has seen and that she was excited her husband was signed up. It made my day.

The 2 for 1 Wall Ball is an exercise in timing. It tests coordination, agility, accuracy, speed, strength, stamina, etc. Basically it punishes you and if you aren’t careful can beat the snot out of you with a wall ball to the face. The main scale that was used today was using a lighter wall ball to throw higher and then air squat quickly to wait for it to return, or simply throwing a standard wall ball once to a higher target.

The High Hang Snatch focuses on speed under the bar from the top of the 2nd pull into the 3rd pull under the bar. It emphasizes a fast and powerful triple extension with a full finish of the shoulders and arms in the 2nd pull. The “high hang” position we prefer to teach is a dip with vertical hips and extremely shallow knee bend and fast dip followed by full extension and finish. Dropping down fast into a solid snatch position is key to avoid trying to “ride the barbell” down. (Watch the second rep in this video)

The conditioning WOD today paired a heavy OHS with hand release push-ups, which helped to fatigue the shoulders going into the squats. The goal was to use a weight for the OHS that allowed you to do sets of 10 or 2 sets each round. Watch Froning and Holmberg go head to head in this workout from a throwdown back in 2010.

The CrossFit Games are Awesome games.crossfit.com

I agree. They are awesome. Since we first went to watch in Aromas in 2009 to each year after they just seem to get better somehow.
