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 – 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.

Bring in any non-perishable foods, new or gently-used clothing for 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.​

DESC’s mission works to end the homelessness of vulnerable people, particularly those living with serious mental illnesses or substance use disorders. Through partnerships and an integrated array of comprehensive services, treatment and housing, we give people the opportunity to reach their highest potential. At DESC, uncommon efforts produce uncommon results that eliminate homelessness, one person at a time.

Come workout and support a great organization.
