Movement Standards
* Power clean - The bar must be lifted from the ground to the shoulders for each rep.
When receiving the bar to the shoulders the athlete must complete full hip and knee extension before lowering the bar regardless how deep the power clean was received.
* Burpee - The movement is initiated with the dropping into a push-up and lowering until the thighs and chest touch the ground completely. The movement is reversed and the individual must jump vertically with the arms extended fully over head. The ear must be clearly visible in front of the arms.

Post time to beyondthewhiteboard.

--------------------------------------------------

Talking more about Marie's picture - Very few things feel quite as good as getting heavy weight overhead.  A lot of folks come in with shoulder issues - flexibility and movement impairment from years of bad posture and sitting at the desk.    Whats the prescription to fix this?  Constantly Varied Functional Movements.  Getting a weight over your head is moving your body the way it was built to move.

Warning

Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.

Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.

Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.

You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)

Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.

Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
