Working from the hang or boxes helps to develop speed strength, positional strength and, in Jackie’s (@jackie585) situation, confidence under the barbell. So much fun to watch the progress each week!

Hanging out with Rafe from Evolve Move Play learning Parkour basics.
Having body awareness and body control is fundamental before you can start to move and manipulate with an object. Although gymnastics seems like our fundamental “go to” for such practices, activities such as parkour offers certain freedoms in rhythm that it’s more formal counterpart cannot. Want to see improvement in your Olympic lifts? Spend some time honing in on your bio-machine and watch those kilos rise.
Mobility like a boss. Ilya (@ilyailyin4ever) spends 30min each day prior to training working on flexibility. There are also photos floating around somewhere of Klokov in the splits during this seminar. I wasn’t quite quick enough with the trigger to capture a photo of him performing this act. He’d basically be talking and suddenly just drop into the splits cold without warm-up as a demonstration of his flexibility. Very impressive indeed.

To continue the string of PRs this week, Jackie Perez (@jackie585) knocked it out of the park with a clean, rack jerk and clean&jerk PR of 173lbs all in one session. CrossFit athletes have the best work capacity. Like a boss.
