I never got coached on any of this. I literally was doing all of the mistakes at some point in time. Crazy.

I did babysteps when i did them the first few times. It also comes down to shoulder strenght. Big steps comes with more shoulder strenght

I love the SPLAT method to get down and the pike + large leg movements were a HUGE game changer when my coach taught me.

I definitely do the hold at top often. It’s like a “present” myself like a diver at the top. Also, some odd reason, I tend to be able to only get my right hand to the wall and my left is so close but won’t go back more. I feel it’s more a mental thing.

Great tips

I'm trying to learn handstand hold and pushup, so i think that #4 isn't good advice for people in my situation, as you have to get used to holding the handstand and balancing

I'm defo a baby-stepper, although I am very aware of it. I like to leave little nose touches on the wall because we rarely have the tape on the floor.

oh you understand me, I did so many mistakes today but thats what we all want without failing. we have to do our runs to because different parts of the back hurt by only doing one type of excersice

What's the distance from wall to hands at the end of the rep?

@larrysupersport 2 жыл бұрын

OMG, I didn't know that you feet touching before your fingers touch the line is a NO REP! I think I just got an ulcer.

@mauriceharford7322 2 жыл бұрын

Another mistake...huge arch in the back, hyper extension because they don't move there hands equally and feet make it up the wall to fast

@venkateshsharma8552 Жыл бұрын

Dropping the legs before touching the front line, mostly getting dis balanced before getting back to the ground

Agree with everything but no. 4, holding the upright position helps strengthen the shoulders in a lock out position and helps train the traps as well, and the reasoning that its not good is because it causes fatigue doesnt really jive with me, fatigue is a result of the training stimulus, the whole goal of training is to fatigue the muscle and not mainly to hit a rep count. To be fair here, that the lockout position is the most demanding part of the movement and likely the most common area where injury / form breakdown my occur, but it should not be avoided if youre able to complete the movement with good form.

I don't know. Everyone does it differently, and most athletes can't even get halfway up. So, I'll try some of these ideas, next time, and find out what happens. Most of us just want to lose a few pounds of flab and have our clothes fit better.

What's wrong with burning a lot of energy while doing baby steps

@shelbycfit Жыл бұрын

It just wears you out and can end up compromising form during a workout if you're going for speed and not paying attention.

okay I feell like you did it all already

@makw2008 Жыл бұрын

Definitely baby steps. I need more upper body strength to do more.

@elizabethgreen7392 2 жыл бұрын

Crossfit newbie, mistake 3, baby moves with hands. Guess not enough shoulder strength yet?

@neversaw 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah and weight to strength ratio. I'm strong but heavy so while I can overhead press a fair amount my body weight is still a lot higher than any max.

@elizabethgreen7392 2 жыл бұрын

@@neversaw thanks for that. Yes I am weight heavy and it is a question of patience for me to get strength up and weight down. Still having fun with Crossfit and the small wins 🏆
