  1. Anyone know of any outlaw friendly gyms near Myrtle Beach? I’ll be heading there for vacation next week…

    • maybe not outlaw-style methods, but CrossFit Vengeance hosted me for a week while I was there on vacation and Brian and the rest of their trainers and members were great and treated me like a regular. Definitely worth stopping in.

  17. Anyone have advice for shoulder mobility improvement / getting comfortable at the bottom of a squat and making your torso more erect? I saw the Bob Takano article a while back, and tried doing some squat overhead presses and can barely do 45# even though I snatch 200. Moreover, even when I do the 45, I find my torso is collapsing forward as opposed to staying vertical.

  18. BBG:
    1) 135×2, 145×2, 150×2(f-3rd pos on 2nd set), 155

    2a) 225
    2b) 245-no misses, second reps were sketchy though.
    -Anyone else have ridiculous hip drive out of the hole that puts them in a horrible position for HBBS? (i.e. bar forward/good-morningish)

    Conditioning:
    2 rnds+ 4reps

    Midline:
    1a) GM’s@ 150
    1b) 20, 12, 12- my shitty pullup bar slowly spins, so I completed 60reps in total.

    3/5/3

    • I do/did hence the reason for my current Smolov FS cycle. I have found that following Spencer’s advice of focusing on glute activation out of the bottom implemented by using KStars “torque in the hips” helps me to actually use my glutes and keep my hips under me instead of turning everything into a LBBS. Hopefully that makes sense.
