Friday, February 25 'Back squats'

Back squats are less functional than the front squat, but the back rack gives us an advantage of leverage that usually allows larger loads. One of CrossFit's mainstays is moving a large load over a long distance. We got that.

Great squats everyone. We had some serious weight John and Casey. Good Good. You guys are strong. We had several people practicing the back squat that did not go for reps. You guys are doing great. Form, consistency, intensity. In that order.

The cues for a solid back squat are many. We need to know them, and hit them. Now we see why flexibility is so important. From ankles to hips, and shoulders- as much range of motion as completely possible. It makes EVERYTHING easier. As loose as a moose... That one's for our Molson fans. I digress, get loose and stay loose. It's not that difficult. Enough said.

We had a really great time on the last Friday night of the month. Good to get back. And there were feats of strength. Outstanding double rope climb Dan (son of Zeus). We are super glad you are rolling with us. You bring tons of fuel we will all benefit from.
