| COACHING CUE | . “Front rack clock face” - adapted from @torokhtiy . When? Describing elbow positioning in front rack . What does this mean? Referencing the hours on a clock face to the position of the elbows may provide you with a more precise description for the athlete. . For example: Press - Elbows at 5 o’clock position Jerk - Elbows at 4 o’clock position Front squat - Elbows at 3 o’clock position . I hope you found this useful.

| COACHING CUE | . “Your traps are like your crazy ex-girlfriend or boyfriend. They’re accessible but not what you want. We want to use our lats.” - a gem from Ray Regno @rayregno . When? Teaching strong overhead position. . The Fix Cue the athlete to point the armpits forward and their elbows down to the floor. As with all with barbell cues, work through this cue while using a PVC pipe, and re-visit it while adding weight. . Why? Pointing armpits forward and elbows down creates external rotation and activates muscles in the back including the large latissimus dorsi. . “It’s the only position you can be in to handle heavy weight over your head.” - Coach Mike Burgener @mikeburgener @burgenerstrength .

| COACHING CUE | . “Bow like a samurai” - picked up from Doug Chapman (The CrossFit Journal “Lessons From the Level 1” - March 2014) . When? Setting up to lift an object off the ground . What does the mean? In Japanese culture, the futsurei or keirei bow is also known as the “bowing to people with power to make or break your life” bow. . During this, the indivdiual bends forward at the hip “45 degrees over the span of one complete breath” (source: Tofugu.com “How to Bow in Japan”) . This movement is similar to how an individual would set up to lift an object off the ground. . I hope you found this valuable. If so, #repost or tag someone who needs to see it.

#FBF #flashbackfriday . | MOVEMENT PROGRESSION | . L-Sit . Perhaps one of the least popular gymnastics movements, likely because of the challenge. However, when it comes to static core strength, the L-sit is king. . Thankfully, just as with nearly all gymnastics movements there are a variety of progressions that can meet the athlete at their level of strength, mobility, or skill. . For more tips on all things gymnastics, check out: @thegymnasticscourse @pamelagnon @chuckbennington @theskillwod @gymnasticslab . What are some other great accounts for gymnastics knowledge?

| COACHING CUE | . “The Scoop” . As defined by Greg Everett @catalystathletics “the double knee bend (AKA scoop) is the temporary cessation of extension and forward movement of the knees during the final explosive extension of the snatch and clean.” . Possibly the trickiest part of both the clean and the snatch, the scoop is vital for an efficient lift as it places the athlete in an upright jumping position with the bar still under the shoulders. . Aside from working positional exercises (hang cleans from position 1 or 2), two cues that I have found most helpful are: “Slow down (control) the first pull” “Hips meet bar in pocket” . What cues help you in coaching this movement? . I hope you found this valuable. If so, #repost or tag someone who needs to see it.

#FBF #flashbackfriday . | TAG YOUR AFFILIATE BELOW | . I like this quote because it speaks the basic truth about what CrossFit is to me, especially the essence of a fun (and supportive) #community. . Coach Glassman spoke these words about CrossFit back 2005 (see WOD Sunday 051113 on the main site). At this point in time there were 13 affiliates total. Thirteen. . The current affiliate count is more than 1,000 times that (13,000) in over 120 countries. . It’s safe to say that many others agree the - movements (functional), - programming (constantly varied), - explanation (coaching), - and community (millions worldwide) have been key factors in the success of CrossFit. .

| COACHING PERSPECTIVE | . “Thread the needle, AND knock out the rhino” . Donny Shankle’s words describe the symphony of power and accuracy needed for Olympic weightlifting. . “Imagine having a punch that could knock out a f****** rhino, . but you’ve got a piece of thread in between your knuckles . and there’s an eye of a needle right in front of that beast’s face. . You not only have to have the power to put him down, but you have to thread the needle at the same time.” - Donny Shankle from “The Lion Killer | Donny Shankle” (documentary by @flosports) .

| COACHING EDUCATION | . Self Talk: “You” > “I” . “Sports psychologists have now found that speaking to yourself in the second person: ‘You need to dig deep!’, is actually more effective than speaking to yourself in the first person, ‘I need to dig deep!’ . In a new study, sports psychology researchers at Bangor University found that participants told to use the second-person pronoun 'you' when encouraging themselves while cycling created a superior power output than those told to use the first person pronoun ‘I.’ . Our findings from 16 active males indicate that second person self-talk generated significantly greater power output and faster time-trial performance than first person self-talk. . Interestingly, the participants did not report noticing any difference in ratings of perceived exertion. So they were able to do more work but didn't notice any difference in workload." - Bangor University . For more information, please read: “Using 'self-talk' as part of your endurance sport training? Here's what you need to know”, July 10, 2019 - by Bangor University . I hope you found this valuable. If so, #repost or tag someone who needs to see it.
