Lets Coordinate Some Sexyness

Guess who is done with all of their calculus objectives three weeks before school ends? This guy! Aww yeah! What does that mean? Well it means I will have more to my life than fitness and math. Imagine that.

Coordination: The ability to move muscles in the accurate and desired way.

What dies this mean? If you want to do a snatch, and you need to shrug and thrust your hips at the same time, then you need to be coordinated and have the ability to do both of those with precision to maximize power. What CrossFit amounts to is that strength comes not only from muscle and raw strength, but precision of muscle movement. Sure you can dead lift 400 pounds, but if you cannot learn how to lockout the bar at the top of your snatch and get under it, you will struggle to snatch 100lbs.

Most movements are complex movements that require exact muscle movements to maximize power and ultimately result in moving some real weight. So the next time you are working out, instead of stacking all the weight to the bar. Grab the empty barbell and practice that form and nail those moves and get used to the proprioception.

As for me my kryptonite for coordination is getting into a hand stand. Once up I can push out all those hand stand push ups, but getting into that hand stand just makes me look like a fish out of water. A worm in a rainstorm man. No joke. Practice it no matter how rediculous you look.

Abs

Okay there is no ab workout for me for a very good reason. They are way too sore!!!! It is horrible but good to know I got such a good ab workout. Wat could give me such a good ab workout? Going to the club. The music pumping. The subs bumping? And my dancing all combined to give me the greatest ab workout I hve ever had. Fun and good for me. Aww Yeah!
