We all know that feeling in a plank - the quivering quads, the butt muscles that seem impossible to fire, and the mid-line failure that happens way too soon. But, we play it off cool and just slowly elevate our butt…or round out the upper back. Nobody is getting away with it…it’s pretty obvious the difference between a GOOD plank and a BAD one.
That feeling of difficulty in the plank, should be the same feeling you are feeling in a pushup.
An honest push-up moves slowly from full extension to a point of maximum depth without “reaching” for the ground or perturbing the body’s taut, rigid, straight-line posture, and then returns rigidly to full extension. Done correctly, the push-up is a super demanding whole-body movement. Engage as many stabilizers as possible. - Greg Glassman
Pushups, when done correctly, are difficult for even the strongest of our athletes. Pushups, when done correctly, will lead to improvements on all of your pressing strength and can also lead to improvement in mid-line strength, which is beneficial to all our functional movements.
Take your time to master the pushup. Read this article, The Push-Up from the CrossFit Journal.
WORKOUT OF THE DAY HAS MOVED!!!
In an attempt to add some convenience for our members, all workouts for WOD, Strength, and CF1 will be posted in a single area, which is under the “Workouts” tab at the top of our site. Workouts will continue to get posted the night before at or around 7:30 pm. Also, you can still use our Whiteboard feature, which is that little blue circle on the top right-hand corner of the workout posting. Use the Whiteboard to track pr’s, workout attendance, and any other workout notes.
We will still post articles, updates, and pictures to our main blog area frequently. However, it will not be on a daily basis.
Here is the page where you can find the workouts: https://mbscrossfit.com/category/workouts/
