Mobility:

Want to take a little time before the WOD to get some good mobility both for our squat and for our push-ups.

Super Squat Hip Sequence

Test Squat before and after

Video courtesy of Mobility WOD.  The first one we will do is the Super Squat Hip Sequence.  As you’ll see in the video, you will do each stretch position for 20 seconds.  PLEASE make sure to test your squat BEFORE and AFTER doing this sequence.

 

Pec roll out w/lacrosse ball (see video) – 1 Min per side

WOD:

5 Rounds of:

30-Second hold at bottom of squat

20 Air Squats

30-Second Plank at top of Push Up

20 Push Ups

These isometric holds are going to help you in the long run, but are going to put you in a bit of a pain cave today.  That’s okay.  It’s how we get better.

 

Video courtesy of Reebok CrossFit ONE.  In the squat hold, send you butt back and descend down into the bottom of the squat, hip crease below your knee.  Push your knees out, all the weight should be in your heels. Throughout the duration of the movement, maintain your lumbar curve and an upright chest position
