This particular weight rack lives in Lane 6 alongside the Power Rack. Please use the right side with calibrated Rogue Fitness plates for powerlifts only (squats, bench, presses, deadlifts and accessories) and the left side with Eleiko competition discs for olympic weightlifting only. We consider these our premium competition plates so they should only be used with staff approval or in personal training.
And as always, put your equipment back in the order in which you found it.
Elbows “high and outside” is a powerful posterior exercise that develops strength in the biceps tendon, the biceps, all parts of the deltoids (shoulder caps), and the traps. This helps undo “tech neck”, but also helps develop better strength and coordination in the olympic lifts.
Commonly used in body building the high-pull, or upright row, can develop hypertrophy in the yoke area, keeping it strong and healthy. It’s also good for our athletes as that’s the place you rack a barbell for a back squat- the more meat for cushion, the better!
We use our wrists, elbows, and shoulders quite a lot in CrossFit as we regularly load and hang off of said joints. You put in a lot of work through repetition- the big question is do you even that out with stretching and other forms of mobility?
CrossFit WOD for Thursday 2/12/2020
5k row/ski/run for time, then immediately establish a 1RM thruster in 10:00
Share time and heaviest successful load to whiteboard. Post-workout will include some back and bicep work to restore the integrity of muscle after the mono structural and lifting efforts.
Skills and stabilization! The weight on the front rack should be light enough to move but enough to fire off stabilizer muscles so you don’t fall over.

It’s important to value INTENSITY over VOLUME in the grand scheme of training. When you come across something fairly short in time (10:00 or less), then your goal is hard and fast. Don’t let up because you feel like it- putting ourselves in positions of discomfort are what take us to the next level!
