Get Your ASS low on Front Squats

Seriously.

Sink em’!

With the required upright torso position in a front squat you can easily go rock bottom while maintaining core tension. Deep squats require more involvement from your glutes and hamstrings, so do it! Who the heck doesn’t want a stronger posterior chain?!

Get a BIG breath, hold it, then sink your squat and REAP the reward!

Do You Workout With a Sledgehammer?

Emily demonstrates sledge strikes.
YOU MUST hit with BAD INTENTIONS!

Don’t let the sledge do all the work.

At peak height follow through HARD with your core!

Fast and strong.

Rotational Strength must not be ignored – Sledge strikes are great for “extra workouts”.

Back Squat Workout

Saturday mornings are great – I always have extra time to play as our workout is at 9:00AM.

Goal today was to hit same heavy singles – no PRs or something to write about but felt solid enough to think these squats were good and the top end number will get bigger.

Finished with 3 sets of 10 in the strict press and good morning.

CFOT brought some Awesome back squats as well!

Snatch Workout

snatch workout

 

I woke up early excited to hit some snatch singles – goal was to slowly working up to a heavy load.

Snatch workout 4:15AM

70% x 1 rep, add 5 pounds every minute. I was a bit off today so I adjusted goals and kept it light to dial in on form. I hit around 15 singles. I was a bit soft under the bar, that happens when you’re not moving as fast as you should!

I’m still crushed from yesterdays rope climb and board push madness!

Weighted Pullups with Family

Life is busy…

At CrossFit Oldtown we train a lot of people and have a heck of a lot of fun doing it!

One of the reasons I wanted to have a new training facility was for my family.

A place for the girls to have fun!

I pick them up from school everyday and bring them to CFOT…

Daily, they get to witness strength through the efforts of our CrossFit Oldtown family.

and..

They get some lab work as well!

 

In Strength,

Jerry Hill
