Getting the bicep to contact the head (without moving the head) requires MUCH flexibility and strength in the shoulder. Easier access means more opportunities to strengthen that position.
Post score to whiteboard! Post-workout let’s hit lower back stretches for 1:30 intervals, followed by longer efforts using a foam roller or lacrosse ball. Finish out with a doorway chest stretch for 1:30/side.

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.

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.
