Weak of Emphasis - ProperSquat Form (break down including- form, eccentric contractions, and plyometrics)
Skill of the Week- Double Unders Terms: Weak of Emphasis (WOE)
First off I would like to say I am weak, but I'm working on it. At CrossFit Hagerstown we are incorporating a few new staples into our programming that are designed to help each and every student to accomplish their own set goals. How can we do this? By three points. By working on strength,mobility, and by identifying what goal you want to accomplish.
Why focus on strength?
To put simply- It helps you complete any task easier. With increased strength, our bodies do not have to work as hard to the perform the task.
Why does mobility matter?
Without proper range of motion (ROM) you cannot be in certain positions to carry out the task at all. Stretching is crucial.
Why have a goal?
Goals keep us focused and moving in a positive direction. For example: a runner might have a path he takes to keep in shape. But a competitive runner has a schedule to follow to get him ready for a race. For Crossfitters, if you plan to compete or just trying to do our best in any situation it is important to focus on a certain task in order to get better at it.
A goal in CrossFit is not general, such as- I want to be skinny. No, rather a few examples of goals are:
I want to get stronger in order to_______
I want to do a push-up
I want to do a muscle up
I want to lift heavy things overhead while on a tricycle on a tight rope
No matter what your goals are, make it a priority to make it progressive. One Month Goal, 6-Month Goal, 12- Month Plan. Stick to your goals and results will follow! Think about a goal you would like to accomplish for the month of December and bring the idea to class.
