CrossFit Road Trip ~ WOD 5, What's Hurting in Huntsville?

After we finished our work in Clarksville, TN we went to Huntsville, AL to work out at CrossFit Huntsville, just to see if we could indeed be 'Stronger Than Yesterday', and We Are!

They were working out the Squat, doing the WOD from the CrossFit Main Site that we could have done in Clarksville when we did 300 instead.

This place is awesome and huge and full of amazing coaching. Josh and Jake took the 4:30 crew through some Form instruction and then put us to work at the racks.

We got some cool feedback on how to pick our hand placement for

these. Thanks Josh!

Elbows in is much harder than it looks, knees out is even harder!

Back Squat

Jamie

Amanda - first time back squatter!

65, 78, 85

These are so much easier without gym shoes on. Thanks Jake!

Casey was kind enough to share her rack with us, and she picks up some heavy stuff! Nice work, and best wishes in Germany.

Lessons Learned: Knees out and keep your weight on the outside of your feet, and keep your elbows in, high, and tight. Gym shoes are sometimes nothing more than a fashion statement. The heel heigth in a typical running shoe jacks up your form more than you realize.

Off to BHam to see the family, and Christmas. We will be doing the CrossFit 180 Christmas WOD: Open Presents, For Time!
