MOVEMENT TIP: The Kipping Handstand Push-Up
The Kipping Handstand Push-Up, demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart is a movement best left to the competitive CrossFit athletes. While it does make it easier to complete a handstand pushup, the lack of control required for the Strict Handstand Pushup means there is a reasonably high risk of hitting your head on the ground and injuring...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Strict Handstand Pushup
CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the handstand push-up. For some of us, getting upside down is something we haven't done since we were kids, so your first step may be to simply turn upside down with your feet or knees on a box or a Handstand against the wall. There are plenty of ways to build more strength...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Wall Walk
We take a break from Olympic Weightlifting for a few weeks as we look again at some Gymnastics or Bodyweight skills. The Wall Walk is challenging and fun way to build up core and handstand strength, as demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart. Key with this movement is to keep the core nice and tight and the...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Split Jerk
As the two Olympic Lifts require the barbell to move from the floor to an overhead position, we will need to add something to the Clean to get the barbell from the shoulders to the overhead position and so we reach the second part of the Clean and Jerk - the Split Jerk - demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Push Jerk
The Push Jerk, demonstrated here by Julie Foucher, CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member, is similar to the Push Press in that we have the same set-up, we dip and drive through the heels, hit full hip extension and then use this hip generated momentum to press the barbell overhead. However as soon as the barbell starts to move, we...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Muscle Clean
CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Muscle Clean for us this week. With the Muscle Clean, the legs do not bend after the hips extend. This means you can't drop your body under the bar and effectively need to use your arms more. You do this by bringing the elbows high enough to turnover into the Front Squat....
MOVEMENT TIP: The Hang Power Clean
This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Hang Power Clean for us. By this stage you may be getting a little confused with all the different names and variations on the clean! But don't panic just yet - it's fairly straightforward when you break it down using the ideas of Hang and Power that we learnt in...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Power Clean
The Power Clean, as demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher, is simply a Clean where you don't have to hit full depth on the Squat part of the movement. In weightlifting, this exercise is used to develop power in the pulls of the Clean, but in Crossit, it has become a fully fledged movement on it's own...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Hang Clean
While the Clean is executed from the ground, the Hang Clean, demonstrated here by CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart, is a variation of the movement, which is started from a ‘hanging’ position i.e. above ground level in any of the following start points: High-Hang: Upper thigh Mid-hang: Mid-thigh Hang: Top of knee caps Knee: Bar at knee caps Low:...
MOVEMENT TIP: The Clean
CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the clean, which is the first of a two part Olympic Lift, the Clean and Jerk. When done correctly, this is a highly skilled movement to the point of being a wonderful combination of art and science. It is worth spending time to perfect the various components of this movement before working on...
