exercise technique

Arm, leg, or back strength are meaningless without the ability to hold on to whatever needs to be moved.

If you think the CrossFit Games are just a competition, you have it all wrong.

The vast majority of people who are working out right now are in a globo gym and the vast majority of them don't have proper coaching

You can carry sandbags, kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, or anything. The more awkward the better but do loaded carries as part of your training.

I've pulled 1,008lbs in competition. Want to know how you can lift heavier, too?

The snatch is a challenging, yet rewarding, lift to master. But, it does take time to learn the proper technique.

This is it, the final day of 360 days of workouts from one of the more innovative coaches out there, Greg Walsh. It's been a heck of a journey.

Only count reps in which the mace handle moves parallel to the floor. Tuck your hips, tighten your guts, and keep the mace close to you.

Stay organized and powerful, with full focus and violence of action put into each rep. Weakest lift in the complex governs weight.

Choose most challenging variation possible in each round, and be ready to move when rest clock ends; Hustle, work hard and get out what you put in.

Match pace with the quality of movement, and vice-versa. Keep rest short and specific, and do not allow movement transitions to become rest periods.

Hunt the work, don’t attempt to avoid it. Transition quickly, move aggressively and don’t stop for more than a quick breath.

“Prison” sit-up: Interlock fingers and keep both hands behind the head. Reps count when shoulders and elbows touch the ground simultaneously.

Tire smash: In order for hitting a tire with a hammer to be more than a novelty, it needs to be performed with power, precision, and fluidity.

Streamline may not be the only technique that helps us recreate a narrow position but it is certainly one of the most important.

Set-up, bracing, order of operations, and violence of action will all equally govern the success of this drill.

Sled drag is a full-body movement- brace up, drive power from your midline, and take short, hard steps. Soft equals sketchy, and, slow.
