AS YOU CAN SEE CROSSFIT IS A PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY SINGLE JOINTED MOVEMENTS, VERY FEW IF ANY.
BECAUSE OF THIS OUR HIP, GLUTES, POSTERIOR CHAIN AND QUADS HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET SORE AND WELL, STAY SORE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS YOU CAN DO.
YOU CAN GET YOUR ASS IN AN ICE BATH! IF YOU HAVE NOT EVER TRIED THIS OUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT AFTER A REALLY TOUGH WOD. WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH THE BATH YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR WHOLE BODY IS NUMB, WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING.
YOU CAN TAKE SOME ANTI-INFLAMATORY TO HELP WITH THE SORENESS.
YOU CAN FOAM ROLL AND STRETCH OFTEN.
YOU CAN EAT WELL AND DRINK A LOT OF WATER ALSO!
ANOTHER THING YOU CAN DO IS, MODIFY THE WORKOUT!
BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN ON THE BOARD DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT LIKE THAT.
IF YOU ARE TOO SORE JUST CHANGE UP THE MOVEMENTS. I DON’T SEE ENOUGH OF THIS TAKING PLACE.
LIFT:
6 POWER SNATCH
EMOM.
KEEP THE WEIGHT THE SAME FOR 10 MINUTES ALLOWING YOU TO TOUCH AND GO.
WORKOUT:
WITH A PARTNER COMPLETE 1,000/600 CALORIES ON THE BIKE
FOR TIME.
DON’T YOU DARE NOT SHOW UP TO THIS WORKOUT CAUSE YOU ARE A CHERRY PICKER!
