Keeping your feet out in front of you can help in the transition part of the muscle up. Getting through is often the hardest part of the skill so little details can help a lot. Head position, elbows and feet make all the difference here.

Using the hook grip is the best way to manage a barbell. It allows for a more relaxed forearm and solid hold on the bar. In weightlifting there are many theories on how to take the bar from the floor. Equally there are as many theories on how to teach the transition, how to receive the bar, foot placement etc. But everyone uses the hook. It takes time getting used to it, but it is worth the effort.

One of the most important characteristics of CrossFit is variance. We lift heavy weights, do gymnastics, run, jump and row. We mix these things in as many combinations as possible. However, what we do is not random there is reasoning behind each workout, always with the intention of making us better at everything.

It is a bit delayed but here is photo from the pool party. A HUGE thanks to Kai for hosting and the Chris Cobb for being the party planner. It is always special when we get together outside of the gym and relax as a community. The weather was perfect the house was spectacular and the company was top notch.

Sonny took his daughter for her first mountain bike ride on Sunday and had a great time. The things we are exposed to as children stay with us for our whole lives. Doing active and fun things outdoors can cultivate a lifetime of fitness and activity. We spend a lot of time working and sitting down, it is great to get out and enjoy Santa Cruz, especially this time of year.
