If you spend too much time hunched over a desk or watching netflix, here are three stretches to loosen up those tight spots before you get back to liftin' 💪

1. Pec Stretch (Bent Elbow) - tight pecs make it harder to maintain strong and stable shoulder positions in pressing movements 🙌
2. Passive Hang - stretch the lats for improved shoulder function in overhead positions 🤸‍♂️
3. Couch Stretch - open up the anterior hip with a double whammy stretch for the hip flexors and quadriceps for big lower body lifts 🏋️‍♀️

Happy 2020 team!

@ RxHAB

This one looks fun!
How many rounds will you do?

3 MOST COMMON CROSSFIT INJURIES 🏋️‍♂️ CrossFit defines itself as a “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement” strength and conditioning program - Greg Glassman. .

Due to the repetitive and highly technical requirements of the sport, high rates of injuries occur due to poor technique. .

In our experience, 2 main reasons why technique isn't optimized:
1. Joint Mobility - range of motion is limited particularly Shoulder Flexion and Thoracic Extension.
2. Joint Instability - poor muscular strength in key areas needed to support compound movements - eg. Scapulae muscle strength to stabilize the shoulders & core and glute strength to stabilize the pelvis.


The secret here is a proactive approach to programming. Optimize joint mobility through the shoulders, hips and ankles. And increase joint stability by strengthening the scapular stabilizers (lower trapezius, serratus anterior) and pelvic stabilizers (lower abdominals, glute medius, adductors). .

THORACIC MOBILITY FOR CROSSFIT 🏋️‍♂️

Snatches, Clean and Jerks, Overhead Squats, Handstands - success in these movements requires adequate mobility through the upper back and shoulders.
Without sufficient mobility, we expose our joints to potential injury through poor loading and compensation.
