Thanks Pam for the info. I'd like to get some more Open Gym days under my belt before I send in the cash.
Jason and Greg helped me out a shitload with my deadlifting form. Jason mentioned more hip flexion work and I'd like to pursue it. Does this work include stretches or what?
By the way, I'm on babywatch now. Serena, my wife, is expecting at any moment now that she's at full term. Thank you all very much for your continued support.

To all my crossfit peeps. I will be making an appearance at tonight's 6:30pm class, if anyone is around.
PS Rob, good luck. keep me posted. I read your message quickly and I thought it said you are on BAYwatch, but a childbirth is even better (minus Pam Anderson of course).

RSR3 said...

Funny you mention Baywatch...I got beat out by one other child to play Mitch's illegitimate son from the East Coast back in the day. Thanks Doc!

Pamela MacElree said...

Woowhoo Doc D at another night class! I think I might have seen baywatch at first glance as well.

Rob, I think Jason might have said hip extension.

Don't Hassel the Hoff!

Sam Lepore said...

Let me say that again!

RSR3 said...

We're not hassling with the Hoff...A big Knight Rider fan here! and he was great as Boner in "Revenge of the Cheerleaders"

OK, so hip extension...now does that mean stretching?

Pamela MacElree said...

I didn't see your DLing this morning so Greg or Jason might need to chime in on this but you could start with just doing some basic hip extensions and leg curls on the stability ball.

Additionally, you'll want to make sure that you have full hip extension at the top of all of your swings, and other similiar KB drills, and I mean glutes contracted, and hips snapping through like it's your job.

RSR3 said...

leg curls? stability ball? It's like Chief Wiggums and the rest of Springfield trying to understand the 3rd dimension...I digress...Thanks Pam. I'll be there tomorrow AM.

Rob, I actually think Jason said you need to use your hips more at the begining of the pull, which is what I was trying to get you to do.

No worries, we'll work on form again.

Rob, when does RossFit open its doors to the public.
