RANGE OF MOTION + DYNAMIC POSTURE = PROPER MECHANICS! If you are trying to get to the next level in your CrossFit practice, emphasis must be placed on proper mechanics. Movement standards are held to the highest level for the Elite Athletes of the CrossFit Games. My intention as a professional coach, is to make sure my athletes uphold these standards to ensure maximum safety and honest results. One of the most challenging functional movements we strive to develop is the Pull-Up and it's many variations. From dead-hang to butterfly kippiing, the Gold Standard is to touch the "Chest to Bar", as seen below. When the athlete is capable of finishing an entire workout with Chest to Bar pull-ups, they are one step closer to the CrossFit Games!
Prop's to MARK and BIG MATT for upholding the standards! Great photos by Kelly P.
By the way, BIG MATT handled "GRACE" (WOD below) claiming his spot on the whiteboard... Go MATT!
