LOOK AT THESE HANGING KNEE RAISES ๐Ÿ˜

Hanging knee raises are a great way to build the foundations for more advanced gymnastics movements while developing:

๐Ÿผ Core strength โ€” teaching you to brace and control your midline
๐Ÿผ Grip strength โ€” getting comfortable supporting your body from the bar
๐Ÿผ Shoulder stability โ€” building strength and control through the shoulders
๐Ÿผ Hip flexor strengthโ€” developing the power needed to bring the knees up
๐Ÿผ Body awareness & coordination โ€” learning to control your movement through space
๐Ÿผ Gymnastics progression โ€” an important stepping stone towards toes-to-bar and other hanging skills

Join us every Tuesday from 1745 for our Gymnastics classes.

Keep practising the basics, build the strength, and the more advanced movements will follow!

WHY ARE POWER CLEANS SO EFFECTIVE?

The Power Clean isnโ€™t just about moving a bar from the floor to your shoulders, itโ€™s about producing force, and producing it FAST!

At CrossFit Blackwater, we love Power Cleans because they build:

๐Ÿ’ฅ Explosive power: train your body to produce force quickly
๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Full body strength: legs, hips, back, core and shoulders all working together
๐Ÿ’ช Speed & coordination: timing and technique are everything
๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธHip drive: develop the explosive extension that carries over to jumping, sprinting and sport

It's often used as part of a complex in competitions too!
