Happy Birthday Coach Morgan!!! Today was a fun little assault bike and deadlift day motivated by country music (@morganvandenberg ‘s choice)

Happy Torrent Tuesday! 🎊

We are sticking with the gymnastics this Tuesday, each movement that has been covered over the last few weeks has appeared in each year of The CrossFit Open. Today our attention shifts to the gut wrenching, core crushing, midline melting… Toes to bar.
-
Coordination and timing is 🔑 in all gymnastics movements, in addition, shoulder control and stability allow for the safest and most efficient execution.
🤸‍♂️
- The Toes to Bar is initiated with a kip, moving between arch and hollow positions, similar to the pull-up and muscle-up.
-
Increase the activity of the shoulder as you rock back into your hollow using your shoulders to close off the angle of your arms.
-
If you cannot get your toes all the way to the bar, first work on knees to chest and straight leg raises for max height. -
Now that your kip has moved you high enough on the bar, it is time to coordinate the leg kick at the top of your kip. Either a knee raise and kick or a straight leg raise will get the job done.
-
*Be patient at the top of your kip and maintain control of your body with the shoulders, after making contact with the bar allow the legs to travel back down as you transition back down into your hollow position.
-
Managing fatigue is of very high importance with this movement, a fast cycle rate will allow for faster reps but will also lead to a faster breakdown in your core. ⚠️A slower cycle rate will allow for more power to be generated from the kip, rather than solely relying on the core muscles to move your legs.
-
The Open is coming....are you ready?
