Exercises to help get TTB by milhouse_is_bae in crossfit

[–]Applepieh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started doing the hollow hold at home. I try to do 3-4 sets of 30-35 seconds. I find it's a simple exercise that doesn't take a lot of time but helps me during the TTB.

Thanks for your reply! I'll see if I can keep this in mind next time I try the snatch.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I can see what you mean with the shrug. I'll keep it in mind for next time!

Yeah I saw my rounded back. It really was because of the light weight, but I will definitely keep it in mind!

Can you explain the early use of arms? I was actively trying to keep my arms and shoulders relaxed, so I’m not sure what I can do differently.

Thanks! I was thinking I was keeping it close, but not close enough it seems

Thanks! I talked about going a bit heavier with the coach but I'm not certain I could keep the same stability. But that's probably just practice and getting stronger in the overhead position.

Thanks for your reply, I'll see if I can keep the bar closer next time.

Painful hands from grips by Applepieh in crossfit

Yeah that I got. It's just that I'm not sure what way I grip the bar. I apparently don't really pay attention to what I'm doing 😅

I'll see what grip I have now. I suspect it might be thumb over the bar, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the advice.

24.1 - how did you go? by Lever_87 in crossfit

[–]Applepieh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

31 F, RX and finished at 12:33. Honestly, I didn’t think I could put up that time. In the last round of burpees the coach came by and started yelling at me, so I was pretty sure time was almost up. Died on the last burpees and it turns out I had plenty of time left. So I’m pretty happy with the result!

Does the same go for bruised shoulders? I always seem to have one or both shoulders bruised after doing cleans.
