WODdoc Episode 379 P365: Squat Therapy; Hips Or Ankles?
July 17, 2015
Last nights episode exposed one of the commonly seen squat problems, but I didn’t tell you how to fix it. Why?…. because how do you know what to fix? Spending time fixing things that aren’t broken seems ill advised. To stay balanced while squatting the center of mass needs to be somewhere between the front

WODdoc Episode 382 P365: Banded Psoas Punch
July 19, 2015
We all love Kelly Starrett’s couch stretch. This is a great little mob based on the principals of the couch stretch. If you take a look below you will see that by extending the hip we can maximize psoas and quad length (our 1 and 2 joint hip flexors). Reaching terminal hip extension

I learn new tricks everyday! Yesterday I was fortunate enough to take some surfing lessons. Great time! During the lesson the instructor was demonstrating a way to loosen up on the board. As I watched couldn’t help but think of how its benefits could carry over to the crossfit world. Try this out and focus

Today we’re talking forearm work. Get your mind out of the gutter people. We’re not talking about the work you do while hiding in your cubicle pretending to actually do shit. This is real. Push-ups, overhead pressing and burpees tend to fry out the pinky (ulnar) side of your forearms. That nasty tightness can cause

Super excited to meet NPGL athlete and Team Dynamix member Becca Day. This girl is a phenomenal athlete to say the least. A quick glance at her instagram and you’ll see her snatching well over 200lbs, clean & jerking 275, and deadlifting 450. In a quick convo today she mentioned just missing a 290 jerk

It is no secret that swimming, at least freestyle, is a lat smoker. Add a surfboard to take your legs out of it and, some waves to knock you in all directions and, you got yourself a workout. I think of surfing as a lifeWOD. Sure it’s a sport and a skillset but it takes

January 11, 2015
Shoulders…. so much to say that if I wrote it all down none of you would read the entire post. So lets keep it simple. There are lots of shoulder injuries in crossfit (all overhead sports smash the shoulder!!) but for the most part they are not traumatic injuries. They are repetitive strains which slowly

On a hot day why not be in the water…. and while we are at it why not improve our hip mobility. After taking a SUP (standup paddle board) yoga class today I grabbed the ear of my instructor and was able to pick her brain a bit. She walked me through some great ways

May 6, 2016
Anytime sled work is incorporated into a WOD I am excited. No … not because I like them. They are horrible. Rather because sled pulls and pushes are such complete exercises. There is this funky thing it seems all athletes tend to do when they get tired pulling sleds. They bend over at the waist
WODdoc Episode 71 Project365: Why We Do Hollow Rocks
September 11, 2014
Why do we practice hollow rocks? Let me answer that… We practice hollow rocks to learn the position we are trying to achieve in more dynamic movements. We find ourselves in the hollow rock in every kipping motion (muscle-ups, bar muscle-ups, pull-ups, chest-to-bar). It is the stable position we need to be in to create
Today was a nice change of pace. I got a chance to flap my gums for this upcoming TV show HigherDOSE. The host Lauren Berlingeri is actually a nutritionist and health coach. We got talking and she was nice enough to jump on an episode and give me her take of postWOD supplementation. I am

March 3, 2015
Turns out not all crossfit WODs have to end with you praying to the porcelain gods. Did you know that we can actually use a WOD for recovery. Active recovery is when we perform similar activities (to the ones that made us sore) at low intensity levels to flush the tissues. By just using the
WODdoc Episode 271 Project365: Couch Stretch On Steroids
March 30, 2015
No doubt there is a bunch of sore quads and hip flexors out there today. 15.5 made sure of that. Kelly Starrett pioneered the couch stretch. Since then there has been many different variations/modifications. This is one of my favorites…. check it out.
If the open has taught us anything this year it’s that ‘dem shoulders are pretty damn important. One of those mainstay cues you always hear daily is “shoulders back and down”… but why? To make a point without so many words lets follow today’s experiments. Place your back against the wall. Roll your shoulders back

In the crossfit world we use the terms functional fitness and general physical preparedness. So it should come to no surprise that improving other function movements and activities have direct carryover to crossfit improvements. In yoga for instance yogis use what they call a clasp (behind their backs) to mobilize their wrists forearms and shoulders.
