CrossFit AOA – CrossFit

A): Overhead squat

Overhead squat: work to a heavy triple

—-> If any pain in wrist, elbow, or difficulty getting in the right position: have the coach evaluate the issue and mobilize or do some movement work.

You can mobilize forearm with lacrosse ball if wrist are tight, shoulder blades of shoulders are tight, calves if ankles are tight.

Movement work to make your joints move better:

1/ Wrists: CARs ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVR7OsPPPm0qsmNjrIgrUEFHj5OaS27Yr )

2/ Scapula: hanging rotation ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVR7OsPPPm0qsmNjrIgrUEFHj5OaS27Yr )

3/ Shoulder rotation: ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVR7OsPPPm0qsmNjrIgrUEFHj5OaS27Yr )

4/ Ankle rotation: ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVR7OsPPPm0qsmNjrIgrUEFHj5OaS27Yr )

—-> On these exercises you need to go to your end range of motion and move to a full rotation as slow as possible about 3-5 reps each side, go by feeling)

This is what a physical therapist would prescribe to fix the problem instead of fixing the pain resulting from the problem.
