Whether you love or hate gymnastic movements, they are a crucial part of CrossFit. Just like your job, if you want to improve and get better you have to put in the time and effort.
So what will the Arsenal Gymnastics Course improve?
- Increased Body Positioning and Awareness
One of the most important things in gymnastics is being able to move our body freely, yet controlled. Meaning if we can’t properly kip or hold a handstand, how can we expect to get a pull-up, muscle-up, or handstand push-up.
2. Accessory Work and Skill that directly translate to strength gains and long-term health
You hear this in class over and over but without the appropriate strength to do strict movements, we should not be worrying about advanced kipping movements. Instead, we should be working on improving our lat and shoulder strength that will keep us healthy and happy in the long run.
3. Fine-tuning skills that will increase speed and efficiency in workouts
You’ve probably heard the saying Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast. This means moving too fast and rushing movements increases the chance of mistakes, which ultimately slows you down. Moving carefully and deliberately with a mind for the technique will help reduce fumbling and needless mistakes. This is, in my opinion, the biggest mistake athletes make in regards to gymnastics.
Each session will end with a gymnastic focused WOD that will force you to be efficient and challenge you to hang on for bigger sets!
