Sore tri's after front squat
Anybody else ever got real sore tri's after front squat? My hands and everything were in good position. I guess you are kind of "pushing" the bars as you support it with your arms a bit. Never had...

Re: Pain in Knee after Push Press
Yeah, I misspoke, the Wod called for push press, but I was working on Jerk since it was light weight, like a form thing. Anyway. It was my front leg. Knee did not buckle at all. Form was perfect....

Why do crossfit WODs never have any lateral movement exercises? In order to build overall fitness and be ready for anything, it seems they should be included. Stuff moving side to side, shuttles,...

Re: A better Rope Climb Sub
Yeah, my problem is I don't have a rope to climb and neither does my gym. I'd love to actually be able to work on one!

Re: Body Weight Hamstring Exercises
