5 years ago today...

Friday, July 24

Front squats are a very functional movement. Of the three squats, its the most functional. I know trainers who believe in the front squat so much that it’s the only squat they have their athletes perform. I like the front squat but, it is one of three that we will learn and use.
Everyone did front squats Friday. For some it was the first time they’ve done them, or first time since high school. Everyone’s front squat looked great. We had good lumbar curves, great positioning, solid base, and proper rack position. Only when these are satisfied, we can begin to lift heavy.

Form is everything. We displayed good form today. Form, consistency, then intensity. In that order!
How’s the AB situation? Anyone still tight? GHD sit-ups are no joke. Cantaloupe transformation potential…  We will be getting a lot more of these little beauties in the future.
Friday was a fun session. Friday’s are always fun at CF-SF. One of the coolest things I see happens after the WOD… Extra practice on something someone’s working on, or helping somebody else learn something new, or difficult for them. The friendships developed and desire for collective success is special. It is a supportive collective, or something like that.
Thanks a whole lot Joey- I wouldn’t have maintained any speed on Wednesday’s last run withhout you. AND thanks for the HI-TEST! Woohoo, was it good. Thanks everybody- for the wicked hard work this week. We still have Saturday to contend with: Push press strength. Should be a blast. Don’t miss any opportunity you have to train with us.
HOOYAH!
