Saturday morning going big. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

I used to think burpees were the worst. Then I had to do db step ups. It couldn’t get any worse I thought. And then... there were double dB step ups! What’s a move you love to hate?... #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

If you are still wondering the movement faults from yesterday’s post here’s a good comparison photo. Notice how the bottom of the kb is facing forward and her knees are fully extended. At the top of the swing you should also be squeezing your butt and driving your heels into the ground. If you’re swinging a kb and the bottom isn’t facing forward like this first pic you’re most likely using your arms and lower back to pull that kb up which is a big technique flaw.

I was checking out Reebok’s crossfit gear and I saw this photo showing a kettlebell swing. There’s two mistakes on this regarding proper form and technique. Can you spot them? #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

Explosive power comes from the hip. You can do movements like the box jump, kb swing, oly lifts. Really any movement where you close/open the hip in a fast explosive manner. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

The morning class going through some single leg overhead reverse lunges... that’s a lot of words for a movement. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

Love these ring pushups. They help strengthen your stabilizer muscles and core. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

Squad + @fugarza #bricknorcal

@dorkey_corky with a great overhead lunge. This full body movement that can check your ego real quick. Do this properly and it will build a huge amount of core strength and flexibility. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

Strengthening your core is not only great for the beach but also for improving any type of athletic performance. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

As you get older strengthening your lower back is essential. A simple move you can do anywhere are Superman holds. #dublinca #pleasantonca #pleasanton #livermoreca #bayarea #bayareafitness #eastbay #trivalley

Member of the Month!! Kalin! I don't want to ruin it but I just had to put this up here first since I love everything about what she said.... " What I don't have in fitness I can make up for in determination". Read on to hear how Kalin is crushing it! ---------- I came to Brick this spring looking for change . Growing 4 babies in 6 years took a toll on my physical body . It left me with a weak core and damaged pelvic and abdominal muscles. I was struggling to even do basic things like carrying in groceries or going for a walk without discomfort. I was fed up . I signed up at Brick hoping to regain some strength. I'd never done cross fit before. Id never done a burpee before. I remember saying to Rick when I started here, " What I don't have in fitness I can make up for in determination". I've been attending weekday 6am classes since the outdoor reopening in June . Every week I'm getting stronger and putting more weight on the barbell. I just ran my first timed mile...( I dont think I've done that since elementary school. ) I'm regaining my strength, and the confidence that my body can do what I ask of it. My favorite thing about Brick is the staff who motivates and supports us . Also for my classmates who are in amazing shape -- who set the bar high and motivate me to keep up.

The fun never stops when you’re on the bike! #dublinca #pleasantonca #liveremoreca #trivalley #eastbay #bayarea #bayareafitness

The sumo deadlift is a great variation of the deadlift. If you have trouble getting in a good setup position on the traditional deadlift give the sumo a try since you don’t have to reach so far down to the bar. #deadlift #bayarea #dublinca #pleasantonca #trivalley #bayareafitness #livermoreca #eastbay

Full body compound lifts like the deadlift are one of the best movements for putting on muscle. #deadlift #bayarea #bayareafitness #dublinca #pleasantonca #livermoreca #eastbay #trivalley

Squats, squats, and more squats. #pleasantonca #dublinca #livermoreca #trivalley #bayarea #eastbay #bayareafitness
