Glossary

Power Clean:  Lifting the bar from the floor to your shoulders in one explosive movement.  The bar is received with a slight dip.  You do not receive the bar in a full squat.

Deficit Handstand Push-up:  Executing the handstand push-up where your head can lower to a point deeper than than the floor.  Your hands need to be on a raised “platform” (plates or parallettes).  This extends the range of motion making the exercise more difficult.

Scaling:  Power Clean- Lower the weight to roughly 70% of your 1 rep max.

               Deficit HSPU- Scale to regular handstand push-up, box handstand push-up, or regular push-up.

 

 

     Anthony D. won the Long Island Open Racquetball Tournament in Syosset last weekend for the 40+ division!  Anthony played on Saturday and Sunday and credits CrossFit for his enhanced conditioning.

  “Usually going into the second day of the tournament my back hurts.  Having CrossFitted for 2 months prior to this tournament my back felt fine and I didn’t feel fatigued”, said Anthony.

Congratulations Anthony! 20131116_115850
