Do you have a crappy overhead squat? Try this out next time you come in. For any newbies who don't know about mobilitywod.com, check it out. Look at what 30 seconds did to J.D.'s right shoulder:

Qualifier WODs start this week on August 10th.

35-39 yrs. old - Top 40 each gender
40-44 yrs. old - Top 30 each gender
45-49 yrs. old - Top 25 each gender

Sign up and let's get a group of us to do the qualifying wods together at the gym. If you're interested in coordinating times to do the qualifying wods, email me at dshioya@gmail.com and I'll get a group email started. :)

Yay, older folk-crossfitters! ;)

Oh my god... I just watched the video an threw up a little. I don't want to try that!

[Kreger]

AO - I'm pretty sure you looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead when I set up for this stretch last week. You must have tried it and seen the light!

[Jennifer R.]

Oh boy. Please don't anyone look at me as if I have anything...unusual growing out of my forehead: I tried to sign up for the SPF Women's Powerlifting Meet and I am perplexed by the raw/single/multi question. And the "full power" vs "bench only' designation. For now I am choosing Raw/Full Power, but I may be committing a powerlifting faux pas. Please advise.

[Justin Riley]

Full power is squat bench plus dead for a total. There are a handful of bench specialists who compete, but they are just big fat guys who don't like to squat. Raw means you are competing a belt and singlet only. Single and multi refer to single ply compression suits and multi ply super aggressive suits. Raw is good for someone who doesn't train with powerlifting gear regurarly.

[Jennifer R.]

That makes sense. Thanks, Justin!

This was the first shoulder stretch that didn't make me wish I had someone else's shoulders. This was barely unpleasant- nowhere near as painful as the foam roller kettlebell torture stretch.
