Your body works hard and gets beat up in the process. Injuries do happen, but with proper attention to form and a good amount of maintenance one can reduce both the likelyhood of injury happening and the acute effects of one that has. Form requires focused practice, repetition, and an adequate amount of mobility to be safe and efficient. Tightness from lifestyle, old injury, and working out will limit your ability to get into good positions. This is where maintenance comes into the picture. Ensuring that you perform a proper warm up, practicing skills, foam rolling, Mobility WODs (see link on yesterday's post), icing, and proper anti-inflammatory diet all play a part in keeping you active, not injured. When things do act up and get hot you need to learn how to take care of them no matter how minor instead of simply ignoring them and hoping they will magically disappear. Ideally take things a step further and proactively work on your tight areas. Progress is slow and not instantly gratifying, but the effort will pay off when you move with better mechanics, less energy expense, and free from pain.
Lift Weights, Get Bulky- CrossFit Pacific Coast
That said….I can tell my knee is starting to come back! Just not sure when I should really take her out for a test drive…
Felt really good today. This is the first week in quite a while that I’ve been able to walk without soreness from all the heavy lifting. The runs felt awesome but I should have loaded on more weight for the deadlifts. I’m noticing lately that I pay more attention to my breathing since the kettlebell ladder. Today I was taking deep breaths during the runs and then I would take some good deep breaths before moving into the deadlifts. It definitely helps, especially mentally to get myself in a good place to do more work.
Saying time at the end of your wod won’t take the pain away. Chris killed it and had an impressive time even for the main site. All the ladies gotta check out the link its awesome!
This one was a killer but I can really feel the gains I’m making. I’m back down to a 38 resting heart rate and am feeling stronger than I have in a while. Keep pushing me, team!
Great Vid! Women really are awesome beings.
