 Barebones Barbell Club of Tucson: strength training, power lifting, Olympic Lifting, private weight lifting facility  |
Where you have been can tell you the best way to get where you want to go!! Colorado, for the 2012 CrossFit Games Regionals!! If there is one thing that we all resist more than giving up ice cream it is keeping a Training Journal. Before we get too heavily [...] In one of Dan John’s books (Dan John is one of the Fathers of strength and conditioning programs) he mentions that Chinese lifters consider the Abs to be the “second backbone”. I love this concept. We were discussing this very issue in Raw Strength last Wednesday. We were focusing on deadlift positioning and [...] One of our athletes used the phrase “toxic thoughts” today and after mulling it over I realized it is the theme of the season!! Life experiences often come in waves and the last month or two our community has experienced a wave of athletes coming to grips with their “toxic thoughts”. My guess is [...] Well. After a couple days to ponder it, I like the 7min of burpees inaugural 2012 Reebok CrossFit Games Open workout. Everyone can do it. It is the CrossFit version of an All Ages Hardcore show.

There is sometimes a little undertone that someone (or some chicken!) is not doing their job properly. Even us nutrition-conscious CrossFitters sometimes lose touch with the fact that a food so ubiquitous as [...] We know you all lead very busy and adventurous lives that often involve quite a bit of travel. Some of you end up in hotels with at least minimal facilities and some of you end up places with no “workout” stuff. Here are some travel workout ideas for you: 1. The Tabata Interval. [...] If we did a word count on the most common coaching cues in our gym, “knees out” or some similar version, would probably top the list. Using a resistance band as a physical cue for an athlete to remember “knees out” How come we are always pestering you about “knees out”? Usually [...] This Saturday, if you are interested in assessing your skill set for Daily CrossFit, be at the gym at 9:30am. We will proceed through the list. Last Saturday’s Team Sledgehammer work! Don’t forget our Saturday CrossFit class at 11:30-12:30! The structure of the Skill Check is that you will move through the [...] |
