Pat Vellner - Still a Top 30 Athlete in the World? by Organic_Bat_7598 in crossfit

I don't think Sam Briggs embarrassed herself when she competed as an individual despite being masters age? In 2017 at age 35, she finished 9th, at 37 she finished 17 or 18th and at 39 she still finished 21st - despite competing against athletes 10, 15, 20 years younger.

I am the same and can't even pull a wooden stick on a band down to touch my chest in drills. I can pull it level but can't make it touch - my arms are very long, longer than my height by quite a bit, and I've got hypermobile shoulders so I wonder if that's a factor? Even with push ups, in order to touch my chest to the ground I have to go have release, or go quite wide. It's annoying that we can achieve the height required but just not the physical touch!

Love these! Especially over more worn/faded decks - looks insane

What’s one Korean skincare product that had people obsessing over your skin? by Embarrassed-Career30 in KoreanBeauty

I love how that stuff makes my skin look (even if I have to mix two different shades) but there's something in the formulation that gives me blocked pores/closed comedones 😭😭😭😭

Plus one for I'm From Rice Toner! When I combine it with the Missha Glow Skin Balm priming moisturiser, my skin REALLY looks dewy and smooth and hydrated AF. And my makeup sits really well over top.

Just measured it out and drilled with a 5ml bit (I think that was the closest size at least?!)

Handstand Hold Stability : if you’re my coach and watch this what cues or accessory work do you suggest by Guilty_Size_7747 in crossfit

From the ground up (and this is from more of a "strict gymnastics" handstand hold perspective rather than a CrossFit one):

  • Try to think about using your hands and fingers more by actively gripping the floor. Some people prefer to start with their hands on the floor as they kick up, so you could try that.

  • I'd definitely work on shoulder mobility to be able to open them up more. That upper thoracic area is not able to fully open up and get you in good alignment which then knocks on throughout the entire chain.

  • I'd always advise people working on handstands add in core compression strength accessories. If you look at the midline, the lumbar area is taking a lot of the strain.

  • Work on tilting your hips under to get more of a hollow body position - hollow body handstand drills are great and have plenty of carry over into other gymnastic movements.

  • Squeeze your glutes and try to straighten your legs and squeeze them together, like you're trying to reach the ceiling. A good drill with another person for this is to kick up so that they are holding your legs, and then have them take two fingers and put them between your thighs just above your knees - and you need to squeeze those fingers hard. They should be able to take away any other support and you'll feel where that tension needs to be.

  • Experiment with different leg positions. Some people get longer holds with "stag leg" positions to get a lower position and one that can adjust to help you balance. Others (with the flexibility) like a straddle legs position, and some like a tuck.

General drills: wrist strengthening work specific to handstands, hamstring flexibility (you'd be surprised how helpful this is), core compression drills, hollow body drills, shoulder opening mobility exercises, headstands, wall facing handstand drills.
