5/7/10 – Knee Mobility, Clean and Jerk Metcon
Shoulders, hips, and knees are pivotal components to human movement and function. If one goes down, it puts a cap on capacity. We spent time yesterday to review some basic ideas on how to keep the knees intact and functioning throughout our high intensity workouts. Unloading the tibia and using the hamstrings as a shock absorber are essentials.
-
- Get comfortable with the wall
-
- Using the wall as a barrier forces the athletes to keep an upright torso, straight shins, and send their weight back
-
- Alex and Huy working on fundamental Olympic lifts
-
- Good extension and shoulder shrug Huy
-
- Stephanie’s getting the coordination and timing down!
-
- I remember working with Hoa for the first time on her cleans. I love the progress that she’s made.
-
- Hoa getting it done with the big block
-
- Chu Long and I worked on some box squats today. Speed Strength
-
- Look at these track shoes, where do you see most of the traction being applied?
After the knee mobility session, we finished the day with a quick clean and jerk metcon (metabolic conditioning) workout.
AMRAP (as many reps as possible) in 7 minutes of:
Clean and Jerks, cinderblock
Hoa = 45

Huy = 61
