#whiteboardwednesday #Repost @whiteboard_daily with @make_repost | COACHING CUE ... Head through the window When? Overhead positions: press, push press (thrusters), push jerk, handstands, etc. What does this mean? Cue the athlete to push their head through the window that their arms make in the overhead position. By doing so, this may help the athlete finish the lift by placing their hands (bar) in line with the shoulders and hips. #ruinationcrossfit #thenation #lagunahills #lakeforest #irvine #southcounty #oc #orangecounty #train #sweat #fitness #fit #hiit #crossfit #circuittraining #gym #getit #letsdothis #alwaysgrind #onthegrind #lift #workout #happy #fun #fitnessmotivation #nutrition #healthyliving #healthylifestyle

#motivationmonday Well known actor @ethansuplee has lost 200lbs and completely transformed his body, mind and mindset. Check out his article in this month’s @menshealthmag How are you not motivated by his hard work and determination!?!?!

#whiteboardwednesday #Repost @whiteboard_daily with @make_repost | COACHING CUE ... Tighter = Lighter When? Using body tension to create power and stability. What does this mean? A handstand, for example, is far less work when the body holds tension from fingers to the toes (straight legs, legs together, toes pointed to the sky, midline in a hollow, posterior pelvic tilt, neutral cervical spine, active shoulders, elbows locked out). When those efficiently tense pieces begin to relax and lose tightness, the musculature must compensate. Muscle requires energy to function, therefor creating more work for the body to do the same task that tension was doing. ‘Tighter’ means the musculature has to do less, making the work that was done to seem like it required less energy.

#whiteboardwednesday TOES TO BAR #Repost @whiteboard_daily with @make_repost | COACHING CUE ... Rib down - Press down When? Toes to Bar What does this mean? The distance to the target (bar) for your toes can be much closer by employing the hollow compression on the back swing. Practice pulling ‘rib down - press down’ as opposed to ‘rib out - arch behind’.

May this year be everything you want it to be!

Whiteboard Wednesday courtesy of @whiteboard_daily Here’s some great tips for today’s workout. #Repost @whiteboard_daily with @make_repost... | COACHING CUE . Hike, Hinge, Root, Float - The kettlebell swing in four cues . HIKE With the KB 12-18 inches in front of you, push your hips back keeping your butt high and bend your knees slightly. Gripping the kettlebell, pull your shoulders into their sockets and fire your lats. . HINGE The hinge is the foundation of the kettlebell swing. When you push your hips back keeping your butt high and your shins vertical, you are hingeing. . ROOT The ROOT is the finish of the swing. Think of the root as a standing plank where you are tightening every muscle in your body from your shoulders down. . FLOAT The FLOAT is what happens to the kettlebell when you do the swing correctly. It ensures that your energy is focused on your glutes and not on your trying to muscle the kettlebell up to a certain height. . This cue and caption for this board comes from Jay Ferruggia @jayferruggia and his article Kettlebell Swings: The 1 Exercise That Fixes 99 Problems on the @onnit website. See more
