How low can you go?

We are taking a step back at CFG and going to refocus on full range of motion to achieve maximum depth in our lifts. Over time, this will increase your hip flexibility and in the case of OHS and front squats, your shoulder flexibility as well, not to mention what it's going to do for your hamstrings and glutes. Hell….it's going to help everything. So, next time we say, go lower, get your butt down…just do it, it's good for you!

(pardon the dark photo, but you get the idea)

Determination

Much of what gets a person through a CrossFit workout is determination. I love catching it on film, as I did here with Marianne. She is DETERMINED to push hard and leave it all out there. By doing that, committing to the effort, she gets results. That's what it's all about. There's nothing sweeter than getting back what you put in.
*
If you are not getting the results you want, are you putting in the effort your goals require? Be honest with yourself, you don't deserve any less.
