Hey gang, for the month of august the mobility classes are going to address quiet a few things in new ways i am yet to see done elsewhere, so keep it a secret.

The highlight is…

As before there will be 2 speciality classes, both split between upper/ lower body. Having done my research on common injuries in CrossFit as i said before shoulders, hips & spine are the top 3, a lot of stats reveal these injuries to be acute, regardless recovery in these cases can be quiet lengthy and costly hampering the progress we all want to see. Kipping muscle ups & olympic lifting is a big one, the intense and dynamic nature of these movements makes it so easy to get hurt if you land slightly out of position, especially under fatigue. Solution is i am gonna place the shoulder/ hip in rotational ‘compromised’ positions where you will be most weakest and vulnerable in the real setting and at the same time strength train the shit out of the ‘sister’ joints being elbow/ knee extension & flexion. The aim is to use a safe environment to train you beyond the demands of many movements found in CrossFit/ Oly/ Gymnastics. This increases your capacity to handle more stress, have more control, awareness and strength in these weak positions in order to bullet proof the joints. No BS but myself and my clients have been performing some amazing feats of strength and hitting PB’s left, right & centre recently with this stuff that Dmitry Klokov would be shitting his pants. So if none of the above made sense just come along and see for yourself.
