GOOD LUCK TO THOSE COMPLETING THE OPEN WOD TODAY!

When it comes to athletic performance, massive bodybuilder quads essentially mean little when compared with what the posterior chain has to offer. So what is the Posterior Chain? The Posterior Chain is a group of muscles that produce hip extension - the hamstrings, glutes, and groin muscles (alot of fast twitch fibres!). Developing and strengthening the posterior chain will make you strong and powerful, and prevent injury. This is important for everyone, not just "athletes."

We are often asked the question, "What WODs can I do while on holiday?" With bodyweight movements being a big part of CrossFit, it's easy to continue your training while away, or at least hold on to your fitness so it's not such an effort when you get back.

So I've become a little obsessed with standards and full range of motion this week... Today, we'll look at ring dips: Proper range of motion in a ring dip means the shoulders have moved BELOW the elbows, and the height of the hips has changed dramatically. If your hips didn’t drop, you might be doing a crunch—and your “ring dips” won’t help you much when you’re doing muscle-ups.

For a front squat to hit full range of motion, in terms of depth you must go ass to grass. What does this mean?? Once the bottom position is reached, the bottom third of the hamstrings should completely cover the calves. If you're not hitting full range of motion, don't count it and think about why you can't achieve that depth... flexibility, strength - core or legs??

Hand release push-ups tend to be the set standard for CrossFit competitions, from a local Sydney games day to the Reebok CrossFit Games. While slower than a normal push-up, hand release push-ups have a number of benefits...

FRIDAY 6:30PM CLASS IS BACK TOMORROW!!

CrossFit whilst growing rapidly is still fairly unknown in the wider Sydney community. Once a strength and conditioning program, it has rapidly transformed into a hugely popular sport culminating each year with the CrossFit Games.

You may have noticed over the past few weeks that I have taken a more secondary role in running the classes at the gym, and have been delegating an increasing amount among other Norwest trainers. The response to this move has been very positive, while I have stayed in charge of programming, other trainers have been bringing fresh perspectives and expertise to our sessions.

Over the next few months you will be seeing less of me in the gym, while still in charge of the CrossFit Norwest programming, I will be in and out of the gym sporadically, however will continue to take the Beginners Introduction Course on the first weekend of each month. Rich Millar will be taking the majority of classes, with our other trainers; Dazza Jackson, Dieter Roose, Dana Corsini and of course Johnny Sewerle also taking a few classes per week.

TENTATIVE DATE for a CrossFit Norwest Christmas Party/Welcome for the New Trainers will be the 10th December. KEEP IT FREE!!!!!

GPP stands for General Physical Preparedness, it is a term which describes a degree of fitness. It means you have to get into shape to train NOT train to get into shape, if you are not in shape you will not get the most from your training. GPP work must be specific to how and what you will be training. SO.... GPP RAISES YOUR ABILITY TO DO MORE WORK BY SPECIAL MEANS.

A seventy-one year old woman recently held a plank for 36 minutes and 58 seconds, unofficially the new Guinness World Record. The woman went from sitting in a hospital bed weighing in at 107 kilos, to holding the abdominal plank for over 36 minutes in just two years. She also lost 110 pounds in the process!! The win replaces the previous record of 33 minutes and 40 seconds held by a sixty-eight year old Gold Coast man.
