Crossfit has grown so much in the last 5-6 years and changed so many lives. Its so unbelievable, I have never been apart of a community where they are so receptive and has rapidly expanded worldwide.
Well as you may know or not know that there are alot of elements to crossfit and as a beginner or even an experienced competitor, there are habits that we have to break in order for you to perform or just get better in general.
Rules to Breaking Bad Habits:
1. Focusing on the Shrug
During a lift, shrugging occurs naturally in the body. Focusing on it only overemphasizes something that will happen on its own.
2. Overthinking It
Don't overcomplicate the techique!!
3. Overteaching
Plain and Simple...
4. Sporting the Wrong Shoes
In order to get better at your lifts, you have to wear specifics ( Oly weightlifting shoes). Just like for sprinting, you have to wear to wear sprints to generate speed on the surface.
5. Missing the Power Position
The power position is just about the single most important position in both the Snatch and Clean. It is the point where the barbell has been raised from the ground, is at waist level, and the lifter is standing erect with bent knees.
6. Forgetting the Hook Grip
The hook grip is a unique method of holding the barbell, proven to give you the strongest grip possible.
7. Wearing Gloves
In Oly weightlifting, gloves become an obstruction to the movement.
