The result of improving on weaknesses. - featuring @eddiesmethod “Wheel of CrossFit”

“A weakness is a certain skill that is lacking relative to an athlete’s proficiency in other
areas.
.
By improving one’s capacity in these weak areas, the athlete’s overall fitness
increases.
.
CrossFit programming by itself is aimed toward improving weaknesses.”

WANT TO FRONT LEVER? -
PRACTICE WITH A BAND: Band training is very nice to work with to teach your body how to work together. In the Front Lever you have to do several things; Squeeze butt, flex abs, pull shoulders down, cramp triceps, pull legs together, point toes, while keeping your entire body straight. Needless to say, there’s a lot to think about so minimize gravity by using a band to work on those small details. During practice, everything should be perfect so that you can develop good habits so choosing an appropriate progression/band is critical. The idea here is to teach your body synergy so if you’re too arched or too hollow, this won’t translate to the Full Front Lever. -
STRENGTHEN YOUR LEG RAISE AND PULL UPS: Since the band is an isometric hold, you want to train your body to be strong in all ranges of motion by adding in Leg Raises and Pull ups of several grips. This will strengthen the muscles needed to progress your Front Lever Progression. I demonstrated the Alt Grip bc it is easily adjusted to be made easier or harder. You can place as much resistance as possible with the undergrip/supinate hand while using your overgrip/pronated hand to assist. I also really like weighted pull ups for the carryover they have to advanced bodyweight skills like Front Levers, OAC, and Iron Cross. -
Who has a goal of the Front Lever?!

“Push the earth away”
.
When?
Deadlifting
.
What does the mean?
“A great cue from Dan John that always stuck with me was to ‘Push your heels to China. If you live in China, then push them to Utah!’
.
Pushing your heels through the ground delivers a much better start to the deadlift, whereas a ‘yanker’ will often use too much lower back to finish the pull.”

| COACHING PERSPECTIVE |

“When training gets tough, focus on the investment.”
.
It’s easy to lose focus when:
- You’re out of breath - distraction
- Your muscles are sore - distraction
- The weight feels heavier than it is - distraction
.
Instead, shift your focus on:
- Why you showed up.
- Where this hard work is taking you.
- How you’ll feel once you’ve accomplished your goal.

WANT CONTROL IN YOUR HANDSTAND? -
When you’re already able to HS, you’ll want to experiment with the HS that is most comfortable for you to balance in, might be Straight Line or Banana style as well as the HS shapes that give you trouble. Each exercise here has its place and can help you in your Hand Balance practice. -
The demonized Banana: This gets a lot of flack bc it’s not as aesthetically pleasing, it’s less efficient in endurance, and really can put a toll on the joints if done too often/frequently due to the Forward Lean in the shoulders and back arch. Buuuut it’s not easy - if it were easy more people would be doing it. The Banana can teach you finger engagement and if done in an approach to the straight line, can teach you length. This is a great start and if you already have a straight line practice the Banana to place yourself in a situation that you’re uncomfortable in. It’s a different shape to help you get comfortable being uncomfortable to further challenge your HS balance when you’re out of alignment (which is bound to happen). -
The line: Imagine your body is a bunch of Jenga pieces. If you stack Jenga pieces vertically and tall, you want to stack them directly on top of each other. If you stack it sideways or even slightly out of place, the stack is compromised and the chances of the pieces falling are greater. You want to do the same thing with your joints so that you exhaust the body less and can hold the position with more ease and control. Do your best to stack the toes on top of the knees, knees on top of hips, hips on top of shoulders, and shoulders on top of hands. -
Wall Angels: Start seated with your butt, lower back, shoulders and head on the wall. Grab a PVC pipe or Broomstick and press the bar overhead. The wider your hands are the easier and the closer the harder. This is a good test to see if you can form a straight line. If you can’t, you’ll have to Banana by default due to lack of flexibility. As this improves experiment going in and out of Banana to Straight line to increase your chances of falling. When you’re able to hold both comfortable, you can challenge yourself with harder variations. -

WANT TO LEARN THE FREESTANDING HANDSTAND? -
When you’re first learning to handstand, you should be practicing several things: -
1. How to invert comfortably by performing easier tasks like Cartwheels, Headstand, Crow Pose, and eventually HS Kick Ups. -
2. Strength in the upper body to support your bodyweight while upside down. Handstand Wall Hold with a shrug can help you prepare for the straight line strength wise when off the wall. -
3. Flexibility where it’s needed like the wrists, hamstrings, and shoulders. If the straight line is what you’re looking for you’ll need to have a flexible upper back otherwise you’ll end up with either bent arms, a Planche Lean, or a Banana HS by default. -
4. Alignment drills to posterior pelvic tilt and get you into a position where your joints are in one line to replicate the straight line HS. -

| COACHING PERSPECTIVE |

“Bully the bar, don’t let the bar bully you.”
.
During my time as a coach and an athlete, two traits that I have found to be important for success in weightlifting are AGGRESSIVENESS and CONFIDENCE.
.
These traits take time to develop, but their growth can be encouraged with the right mentality.
.
My perspective that I’ve used and shared with my athletes is to “bully the bar.” I don’t mean to muscle the bar without any technique, but to move that bar like you own it.
.
This phrase may help you or your athletes understand the importance of aggression and confidence.
