The workout we’re doing today is a CrossFit.com workout from way back.
It was originally posted on July 9, 2009. Chris Spealler is guy on the right, and if you know your CF history you’ll know that Spealler became a household name in the years to come. If you watch the video, just know it was common, back in the earlier days, to squat to medicine balls in order to help reach adequate depth (hip crease below your knees), but too often people would use it to forcefully bounce off the ball to assist the ascent, so while it has its purpose, developing good proprioception (awareness of how you move) is definitely preferred.
The weather was near perfect this weekend, so I hope everyone had a nice and rejuvenating two days.
Katelyn and I sent out an email last evening. If you have not read it yet, please do.
