Any and all olympic weightlifting start positions should be consistent. Begin by stepping underneath the bar so that the ball of the foot is underneath the barbell. (Those with Nike Romaleo 1 or 2 have a Swoosh underneath.) Set the hands in the proper snatch or clean grip. Get tension within the legs, backs, and arms, with a bias towards “back tension” for the posterior chain. The shoulder joint should be just forward of the barbell, the chest lifted high.
What does your position look like?
CrossFit WOD for Thursday 12/12
3 rounds for time: 10 hang power cleans, 70/50/35kg 10 bar-facing burpees
Post time to whiteboard!
Post-workout: take a large mobility ball (can use a lacrosse ball if you are fairly mobile) into the chest and lean into a wall. Slowly lift and lower your arm in a ton of different vectors and movement patterns. 2-3:00/side. Then using a barbell or the parallel bars squat underneath a bar so that the pressure is on your trap. Use the strength of your legs to add/remove pressure. Move your head around gently, rock your hips back and forth, or hit those same vectors as the chest mobilization.
This Saturday at 12pm is our BRING-A-FRIEND CrossFit Class. Bring in any non-perishable foods, new or gently-used clothing and the workout is on us! We’re donating everything to The Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) just down 12th Ave from the gym.
The DESC provides integrated services including housing, emergency shelter, crisis intervention and healthcare to the homeless and formerly homeless people of Seattle every day. People who are living with mental illness, substance use disorders, and other disabilities. DESC believes that everyone deserves the space to exist and a place to call home- they meet people wherever they are and accepts them as they are.
Come workout and support a great organization!
CrossFit WOD for Wednesday 12/11

Post-workout: accumulate :90 in the German hang. Preferably you would start on low rings in a sink stretch before walking backwards to tuck. The lower the hips are in relation to than hands, the better! Alternatively you can try a handful of Skin-the-Cats, but ensure you spend some time in the German hang.
This Saturday at 12pm is our BRING-A-FRIEND CrossFit Class – this is a class designed for everyone! Those who have never done a proper CrossFit workout before to those who have been CrossFitting for years, and all in between.
We thought why not support our local community as well? So we’re requesting a small donation for those in need.

What’s the best method for you, individually, for rowing calories? It’s not necessarily the form we ask for when going for a long period of time.
I know that if I do half-slides and focus on driving my heels down to extend while cranking with my strong low back and arms then I maximize my potential for rowing. That probably doesn’t work for you, but until you know you should experiment with what engines you prioritize (quads vs hamstrings, hip extension vs back extension, pulling with your arms or just finishing, etc.)
