Why Everything You Know About Lactic Acid Might Be Wrong     “Come on, man! What then is the cause of muscle fatigue if not for lactic acid accumulation nor the aforementioned? Well, here is what scientists have concurred. Muscle fatigue at non-sustainable workloads seems to be a result of the accumulation of other metabolites such as inorganic phosphates along with the inability to maintain the rate and force of contraction via the loss of potassium from inside muscle cells.”—Tom Kelso for Breaking Muscle

Why Natural Sugars Aren’t Any Better Than Artificial Sugars( and Neither Is Paleo!)   “.…..Paleo desserts are everywhere. So you ask, “But, why can’t I eat paleo cookies? Aren’t they good for me?” Yes, in small amounts, nuts and small amounts of sugar are fine. But, when we’re eating more than our fair share of sugar (natural or not), our health suffers.

Sugar is sugar. No matter what the source it can be detrimental when we get too much. Below, I talk about the pros and cons of different “healthy” sweeteners and how they affect your body so you can make more educated decisions about what types of sweeteners you use. And hopefully you also make the decision to limit the amounts of sugars you consume, paleo or not.”—Vanessa Bennington for Breaking Muscle

Your shoulder is one of the most diverse joints in the human body.  For true performance there has to be a balance of stability versus mobility.  It means nothing in crossfit to be able to press your body weight and not be able to complete a full range pull-up or to have a perfect snatch with the PVC but can’t hold a 15# bar overhead.  Because of this delicate balance, we see a lot of nagging injuries in the shoulders with no pinpointed trauma.  This seminar is aimed to educate the crossfitter in the dynamics associated with the shoulder joint for increased controlled movement.

Seminar Highlights:

* Basic Shoulder Anatomy

* Basic Shoulder Kinesiology

* Mobilization and Stretching

* Strengthening and Biomechanics

* Q&A
