This is a collection of my thoughts and observations that I've made throughout my CrossFitting career. With the growing popularity of CrossFit, new boxes are springing up everywhere but the quality of coaching is still lagging behind. This can be easily fixed by actively discussing various topics that will help improve the quality of our coaching. The goal is to improve your understanding of human movement so that you can better coach any athlete that walks through your doors.
WOD: 7 rnds + 4 thrusters I wanted to focus on hip drive and shrug during the SDHP to ensure I wasn't pulling with the arms. I realized I was internally rotating my shoulders during the lift. I tried to pinch my shoulder blades together and accelerate through the heels during the last few rounds and reps to maintain good form.
After the first round, the thrusters were getting tough because my legs were burned out from the heavy squats I did earlier. Only the first round of thrusters were unbroken. I managed to get all rounds of hang power cleans unbroken except one--I berated myself for dropping the bar that one time. All SDHP were broken so I could focus on form.
