Right? - #Repost @chalkllamas with @make_repost ...

"the right way" looks different on everyone. - In the case of the DB Floor press and these 2 photos, you'll see very different hand positions. One is a more neutral grip while the other is a more angled one. Neither is more right than the other. It comes down to the preference of the athlete and how the athlete is able to find and create the most tension through the individual's range of motion. - Play with different grips and hand positions to see what feels the best an...d the one you can create the most "activation". Having trouble? Ask. - #betterisbetter #exploremovement #getafterit #effortovereverything See more

Emotional Content, the feeling of being totally present in your body and connected to your own life force. A spiritual life force that is the energy of creation. This force helps you become a human being from moment to moment. When you are creating emotional content, you are creating in awareness, openness and receptivity to everything around you. You are in a state of relating to your surroundings. You are not in isolationyou are connected. - Don’t think, FEEL. - Don’t ...pull yourself out of a real moment by thinking and intellectualizing. Stay in the moment and be totally present for the total experience. - I was watching Bruce Lee videos and I came across this clip from one of his movies. One of my favorites is "the finger and the moon" scene, the idea of "EMOTIONAL CONTENT" came from that scene. I've watched it many times, but it wasn't until recently that those two words really stuck out to me. TRAINING is all about emotional content, it's everything. If there was one thing I could just give athletes in my class, it would be that. But unfortunately it is something that we all have find how to apply it on our own, It's feeling. - Credit for the text above goes to BruceLee.com - #brucelee #train #strongbodystrongmind #crossfit See more

It's true, you can't out work bad habits. The other thing you can't do is diet 365 days a year!!! Balance is important, but you also need to know what that is. It's different for everyone. Just remember, it's okay to have a little fun every now and then. it is MONDAY, get back to it!!!!! - #crossfitmemes

It's all in the LEGS! - trust me, when you use too much of your arms in the DB CLEAN they will tire out fast and you will figure out to get those legs to work for you! Make it easy on yourself and start using them right away!!! Save it for all push-ups you'll be doing!! - Good times today tossing wall balls, doing cleans and banging through push-ups.... - #getafterit #allthefeels See more

Move your body, not the bar. - I had a coach that used to have sayings like this. It would take me a second to wrap my head around it. I'd always ask something like, "BUT YOU STILL MOVE THE BARBELL?". His response was the same as the statement above, MOVE YOUR BODY. - We want be able to create a BETTER AWARENESS around how we move. Instead of just picking up the weight, try and understand what muscles you are using to do so. It might not always be right, but that's a step... in the right direction. Too often I hear athletes say, "I don't know what I'm feeling". We need to feel something, good or bad. - It's time to elevate our training. This is how we begin! - #LFG #elevateyourtraining #traininsaneorstaythesame See more

Embrace the pain, be present with it. The workout is gonna suck regardless of what you do anyway. So settle in and shift your focus to wanting to be there. The point isn't to displace the suffering, ignore it and endure the workout. THE POINT is to be aware of your feeling (good or bad) & the discomfort and ATTACK IT. Hunt the the fight, instead of waiting for the fight to come to you. It's going to hard and challenge you physically & mentally, but that's what CROSSFIT is ALL ABOUT. Move with purpose, act with intention. - #strongmindstrongbody #morethanaworkout

What are you training for? - Health & Fitness? Sport? There are no wrong answers. Just have one. - #healthandfitness... #thesportoffitness #trainforLIFE - : @travellingkaur See more

It's not what you do, it's how you do it. - The renegade row is one of my favorite movements. And that's really just it, I wanted everyone to know that. - #crossfit... #renegaderow #strongereveryday See more

NOW is the time to start focusing on building healthy habits. So much time is spent on what we're supposed remove and restrict from diets. So much focus on what we are NOT supposed to do. How about FOCUSING on what you should be doing and what you have the ability to control. Like being more active or working working out more days than you don't, eating more nutrient dense foods, making "healthy" meals you enjoy, being more present, learning a new skill, connecting with o...thers. There so many POSITIVE things that will help us get closer to our end goal that we never think to focus our energy on. Instead focus on what not to do and are miserable because of it (failed diets - wink wink ). Anyone can give up anything for 30 days. What matters is the 30 days after that. - Start thinking of something you can add to your current routine that you already aren't doing that will move you closer to where you want to be. Better sleep, better food, better workouts, etc... see where I'm going? Need help? Ask. DM or send us text, we'd be happy to take the time to help you get the new year started right!!!! - #positivevibes #2021goals See more

Summer is around the corner! Whether you want to tone up, lose weight, or gain muscle, our coaches can help make it happen!

Merry Christmas! - #happyholidays #merrychristmas

Neither the weight on your scale or the weight on your barbell, measure your actual health. They each have their role to play in getting fitter and becoming healthier, but they aren't the most important. Measure your sleep, what you feel like when you wake up, your mood, your energy, your stress level, your happiness. It all starts to fall into place after that. - #healthmatters
