The Rob & Andy Show is on! Come on in and see what kind of joy they have created for you today! You might learn some "Durpees", compliments of Jarrod from CrossFit Birmingham.
As I have made mention MANY times before, CrossFit is not the regular fitness program. Instead it is a conditioning program - fitness programns can truthfully be really mild and comfortable, affording you a easier and much less effective ride towards some muscle tone and minor increases in your work capacity and maybe your strength. Now a true strength & conditioning program, like what we are doing here, is definitely more athletic and can be harder on the body due to the nature of the work being done to prepare athletes and normal folks to be ready for anything life throws at them. So while results, localized and systemic, are much better there also comes the issue of stress on the body creating knots, bumps, the occassional strain or spasm, or like we saw this past week, some cases of "butt arm"... those of you in the know know what I am talking about.
So, we need to take much better care of ourselves after CrossFit then when going to Curves or the local "walk/talk/lift" globo gym. This means, stretching (hips, hams, shoulders are the biggies), rolling (worked muscle groups and their supporting and antagonist muscles), pressure point work, and post workout nutrition to help reduce inflammation and promote the healing & reconstruction process. Failure to do so will result in adhesions and knots building up in the fascia of the muscle and creating bigger problems as they progress. This leads to a reduction of your fitness gains and a higher chance of injury.
San Francisco CrossFit owner and physical therapist, Kelly Starret, recently wrote a piece about this on their blog. You can check it out HERE. Hopefully this helps convince you to take good care of the machine!
Today is another birthday for a couple CFC folks. Ben is turning 26 today and in continuing on his linear progression towards old age like me, while "The Pup" turns 3 today and continues on his linear progression towards throwing heavier toys at his older brother. Happy Birthday, guys!!
Ben jumps for joy at the prospect of another birthday while Andy bows in homage.
