Tovar showing correct posture at the top of the deadlift. With the top of this lift, any overhead press, and/or squatting you must maintain a neutral spine throughout. This is especially important when the stress of the load is supported directly down the spine as is shown in this picture. When correct posture is not maintained the problem usually lies in overactive hip flexors. This causes an anterior pelvic tilt which in-activates both the glutes and abdominals. This anterior pelvic tilt causes the lumbar spine to support the load bone on bone which can cause chronic pain over time. When the gluteals and abdominals are not used correctly you will have trouble with many other exercises as well such as pushups for example. Remember this the next time you are lifting a load in any manner or even when just walking.
WODREST DAY!
And yes I think they should sign up for AG also.
5:47 fran, which was worse than last time (5:39), but Ricky gave me 15 seconds bonus because the bar dislodged on the last set of pullups and i slammed into the floor. the entire left side of my body is bruised, especially my elbow. i didn't know it was possible to have the wind knocked out of you when you can't breath anyway.
yeah, all in all, a typical CF rest day.
Paul, something about you airborne in any fashion makes me smile.
