*Long fuckin day, I was literally at the gym for 4 hours.
I got carried away, I took at least 30 minutes warming
up & stretching to open up my hips & improve my overhead
position. I instantly feel a relief when I stretch my hips & glutes.
My squatting feels more smooth in the bottom without any
restrictions. Still working on my overhead position, we'll see
how it improves this week. I went 60 lbs heavier on my overhead
squat, I owe it all to the stretching & just getting stronger in those
positions. But I'm excited about these new stretches, I think it will
really help all of my lifts & performance. Train hard...Train smart!

*Adding more flexibility & mobility work to my
sessions. After attending the CrossFit Flex/Mob
Cert this weekend, the light bulb went on. I'm limiting
my potential by not fully addressing my flexibility &
mobility issues. It's like trying to drive a car with your
brakes on, same thing when deadlifting or pressing.
I'm wasting so much energy getting into proper positions
because of this. Shoulder & hip flexibility is a must for
every lifter & athlete. Just setting aside 10 minutes prior
workout & after can do wonders to your performance. If
you
wanna continue to set new PR's then I suggest that you
invest some attentive detail to these issues. Train hard...
Train Smart! - B Lee

squat, he said look up because I could hurt my

of steel like Diesel Weasel. That last WOD I did
crushed me, the Sott's Press is no joke. Other
than that, thanks to the fat dude with no idea what
