Main – CrossFit
In the coming weeks, we will be working intensively on our squat technique AND increasing strength in our posterior chains. We are doing this because safe movement and sustainable growth of your ability is a foundation of our gym culture. For many of you, you will be taking a step back from the weight you have been working with on a regular basis. This doesn’t mean you have failed at anything. It only means we are taking a break to build you a solid foundation for future growth. In the meantime, read this short article about something we could all work on (in our personal lives and at the gym): http://advancedlifeskills.com/blog/instant-gratification-or-long-term-satisfaction/.
