Target that GOAT! (GOAT = CrossFit work for weaknesses)

On the weekend at the comp I got super frustrated because I could not perform a pistol squat. When I though about it, I realized that I have done absolutely nothing to improve this skill. In fact, because I suck at it I’ve been avoiding it! What do you suck at? What are you doing to improve it? And why the heck are you avoiding it!? You’ll be happy to know I’ve sought advise on how to improve my calve length and I’m committing to doing 10 box pistol squats (scaled pistol squat) at the start and end of every training session. Let us know what you are struggling with and we can give you some homework to do. I know for a lot of you tightness through the hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, shoulders and back is a big problem. Here is the answer www.mobilitywod.com. Jump on Kelly Starrett’s blog daily and get rid of the tightness. A big reason we are changing sessions to 1 hour in November (email notice to come) is to spend more time mobilizing our joints, muscles and tendons, it’s gonna be a winner.

NO BREAD DAY 16/54

On the weekend we as an RX team had a goal to make top 15 out of the 30 teams that competed. We had a rough start with the first 2 WODs and quickly dropped to the bottom half of the leaders board. We ended the day strong taking 6th place in the final WOD of day 1. Although the first WOD of day 2 did not play to our strengths, the girls dug deep and we surprisingly got 12th place. We went into the final WOD of day 2 in 21st place and would have to do really well (top 5) to achieve our goal. What did we do? We took 1st place! This win gave us a boost and we finished in 13th overall. Still peaking of this result, and can’t wait to get back next year and do even better. On that note, if you are keen to compete at some stage in a team or as an individual let me know. There are so many competitions around now and most of them have beginner and intermediate divisions. Although not all of you view CrossFit as your sport, we are keen to create a competition culture for those of you that are keen to compete. Also remember that just because you’re not competing doesn’t mean that you can’t come along and support and get inspired!
