Get Racked

IMG_0456 Wes working nice high elbows

Sometimes just getting into the front rack position can be a challenge. Making sure you prep and stretch your lats, thoracic spine, chest and traps can help you achieve proper position. Being able to hold the bar on your frame in this position changes everything for the front squat, squat clean, jerk and thruster. It is a must when it comes to efficiency and safety.

The CrossFit New Year

Dustin during yesterday's WoD.

With the 2011 CrossFit Games behind us the new year begins.  The end of this culminating event allows us to reset, refocus and start anew.  We can analyze the data and make modifications or refinements to our training.  It is time to look back over the last year with objectivity and see where we succeeded and where we fell short.  

What would you like see yourself accomplish before next years Games?  What will it take to get there?
