Happy Girl's Day!

"Growth occurs when you are uncomfortable."


Above: Mobility work is important for CrossFit and training.  We love incorporating Mobility drills into our warmups and/or cool downs at CrossFit 808.

Today's WOD:
Front Squat
5-5-3-3-1-1-1-1


"Karen"
For time:
150 Wall Balls (20/14 lbs.)

Today's strength WOD, 1-RM Front Squat, took us through the technique for a solid Wall Ball throw.  Breaking down the squat when weight is loaded in the front rack, helped with the initial movement of a Wall Ball throw.  Taking a Wall Ball throw to the correct depth with proper squat form is crucial in for efficiency, especially when tackling a benchmark chick like, "Karen."

Starting with a great warmup on our Concept-2 Rowers, we then went through some awesome mobility work on our hips and legs.  Mobility work is important for CrossFit and training in general.  I've found that mobility WODs have increased my flexibility and strength.  While some drills may be somewhat uncomfortable, you always end up feeling so much better when its over.  Growth definitely occurs when you are uncomfortable.
