WOD 2/20/10
21-18-15-12-9
Swings (55/35)
Burpees
DB Thrusters (35/25)
Pull Ups
400m Run
Good times. Scale accordingly if needed. I would recommend 21-15-9 for newbies as the Thrusters and Swings can make you quite sore. Do the prescribed reps and then finish with a 400m Run to stop the clock.
Here is a rad article about how the United States tops the list as the laziest nation in the world! RAD!!! Don't misunderstand me for a second, I am all about red, white and blue, waving our flag from a mountaintop for God and country, but this is disgraceful....

Here is a series of photos of superfreaky CrossFit athlete Annie Sakamoto demonstrating some deadlift faults. One of the set ups is correct (although there's one slight flaw in it I'd fix) while the other three are jacked up. Tell me which one is good (and what you might fix in it) and what is wrong with the other 3, what issues would arise and what you would do to fix them. Post your answers to "comment" and like last time, don't read the responses ahead of yours. Click into comments and hit the "end" button on your keyboard to get to the bottom of the page without seeing the rest. You are all smart people, so let's hear it!

2. This picture looks like the correct position to me. The only thing I see,although im not sure, is she may not be holding her chest high enough.
3. She is rounded her back
4. The weight is to far out in front of her"
I'll be back at CFC Sunday to receive another beating!!
Great WOD Coach!"
1) she is looking up - wrong/bad
2) she is trying to "sit down" which pulls the shoulders/body mass BEHIND the bar, still looking up also which is wrong/bad. no lumbar curve/rigidity
3) back arched/no lumbar curve/rigidity. she is finally starting to look in the right direction but her neck is still bent up a little.
4) what the??? she is like holding the weight out front, which is not really possible when going heavy anyway. kind of a bogus pose i think.
All of these she looks like her feet/knees are a bit too close but maybe it is just the angle I am looking at.
For the record i have seen her videos and she is a great athlete."
Serves me right, for not saving it first!!
I'll sum everything up in several sentences now: There is something wrong in each one of the photos. And some of these things are more noticeable than others. If the lifter addressses the bar correctly many, if not all, of these problems will go away.
P.S. I hate COMPUTERS!!!"
