Do you see anything wrong with this form?
SWOD: Candlestick to Front Lever 5x Max reps
Metcon: 3 rounds
- 21 Thrusters in 60 sec (105/85)
- 5 Tire Flips
- Rest 45 sec
For this Metcon, keep a running clock. Challenge....Try to complete all the thrusters with out dropping or setting down the weight. You will have 60 sec to complete 21 thrusters - so pace yourself but keep the power in the technique. Try to be as smooth as possible in your transition from the front squat to the press. Using your legs to do most of the work. For the tire flips, make sure you get a nice wide grip. Your Arms should be outside of your legs. Your chest and chin resting against the tire. It is ok to round your back and be up on your toes. Lastly, make sure the power is coming from your hips and you are activating your shoulders at the top of the lift. As you finish, make sure you are following though the weight as you push it over.

ReplyDeleteI threw my lower back out(I think flipping tires). Need advice on treatment: I took Advil and icing but need to know how often and when to switch to heat. Feels out right above tailbone and difficult to stand upright

ReplyDeleteMiserable metcon...
Kelly,
ReplyDeleteMake sure that you are icing more the heat. You want to keep the swelling down in the muscles and discs. You should ice until you can't feel the cold. Then let your back naturally warm up and repeat as often as you feel is necessary. Also, keep with the Advil but don't take more than 1600mgs in a day. Once the pain and stiffness subsides, start stretching you hamstrings to alleviate some of the tension in your lower back. Rest and relaxation is going to help it heal too. Take it easy for at least a week and I hope you feel better soon.
