Dumbbell snatches and Dumbbell overhead squats plus some L-Pull Ups, that’s what was on the menu for today’s CrossFit WOD at Dunbar Empower.
This is the type of workout that you will find programmed at few other CrossFit affiliates in Vancouver and yet these asymmetrically loaded movements are key to develop physiological balance. In between big high intensity WODs CFHQ throws in some of these re-balancing WODs and they are always tough. They are movements we all need to work on.
The DB snatch
The DB OHS
The L-Pull Up
Congratulations to Magnum & Bruiser who RX’d this one!
Human beings move contralaterally and single hand movements like these force us to stabilize across the transverse axis helping improve our mobility and stability and increasing our resilience to injury. CrossFit Empower is the only Vancouver CrossFit following the actual CrossFit HQ programming. We follow it because it works.
