The tip about using your legs more in the push press is something I needed to hear. It’s easy to forget when you’re focused on the arms.

Anyone else find the kettlebell movements to be more challenging than they look? This video is a great reminder to focus on the basics.

I love how the coach explains the importance of core stability during the push press. It really makes a difference in performance.

Great talk guys

😁

Chuck is so crazy good that I made me wife ( who doesn't care at all about crossfit) stop what she was doing and watch this. She understood exactly what was going on and how she would perform the movement. A true master.

So grateful for CrossFit Roots.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed in this. I mean Maggie is L-4 and I'm a lowly L-2 AND Diane was critiquing BUT, I din't like the positioning of several of these athletes--and these are coaches--the whole time, particularly at set up. Some of these athletes had really high hips/butts, all the time in set up with little to no knee bend, and especially with the return queueing back down. She specifically said hips higher than the original set up, huh? Why?--most of which were too high hipped to begin with. There should be a discernible bend in the knees at the bottom of a deadlift, which puts them slightly in front of the bar, with bar touching the shins, always! And, there was never the classic queue of--"hips and shoulders rising in unison off the floor till you clear the knee". That says and does everything for the liftoff/first pull. I much prefer, and always use, the Mark Ripatoe (sp) method of teaching the DL position by using the BB with plates (light - 10s) to position the bar at the right height. No guessing, "mid shin". One less thing to correct. Then--"everyone stand shins 1" from the bar and put your hands on your knees, elbows locked out, as if you were trying to catch your breath from a killer WOD". This sets everyones hip/back angle based on their anatomy, maybe with minor teak. Then, "to reach the bar with your hands, you just and ONLY bend your knees" WITHOUT changing, the just established hip/back angle. Shins are now in contact with the bar. Then, the first "pull" is a push with the legs whereby you take out that bend in the knees, only; hips/shoulders rising in unison, till the bar clears the knee, then stand up. I tell my athletes on liftoff to watch their knees go back and their shins go vertical (demo this several x) with this first movement, creating the clear vertical path for the bar going up and there's rarely the stripper first pull and if there is, its much easier to correct. I know some of you out here have to have had the same thoughts. Peace. Out!

Absolute GOLD 😍

What do you feel is the best frequency of coach meetings? When we do them, we always do an L-2 style presentation of a movement as to a class, someone else creates a the WOD and another does the warmup.

Bill Ohlsen here, owner of CrossFit Wynwood in Miami. I use 1:15 time blocks creating a 15 min. buffer so people DO get to chat with each other and time to put away equipment and tidy up. The class is still 1 hr. but that :15 mins has really created a great time for people coming in and those that just finished to talk about the WOD or their life or whatever.

Hard not to smile at a first strict muscle-up!

To gain strength for your first pull up the negative pull ups are essential, too. :)

Pull ups !!

Ref. the abmat sit-up at about 18:00... "You guys have done about a bagillion of these, good job. Not rocket surgery." 😂 Rocket surgery would be WILD.

Great coaching! The only thing is unecessary in my opinion is the time on the board at the end.

It would be good if CrossFit started posting videos teaching movements to beginners, overweight and other people with special needs. I have been coaching for roughly 10 years and none of those guys in the video look like people in any of the boxes that I have coached. While the video is good, I find novice coaches could not make much use of the info. CrossFit please wake up and start putting out content that helps most and not just a few

Well explained, a lot to learn here!

Maggie taught me in my last lvl 1 & 2 and she is awesome. She also told me she better not see me in a lvl 1 or 2 again and get my lvl 3

She is coaching the deadlift to a group of seminar staff members! It takes a lot of courage and you have to be a lot humble to get real time feedback from Denise! This is gold!

10 minutes of coaching. That's one movement. That's how to fill the hour when the workout is "Diane" or "Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps". Excellence Vurtuosity Relentless

Maggie is the best!

Love the cues! How would an average joe, never touched a barbell, or even been in a gym take this? What would you tell someone who tends to shot the hips up AND THEN open the hips? Basically turning the deadlift into a two part movement i.e. straight leg deadlift into a good morning? TIAs!

It is absurd how a channel of such quality content can have only 10k subscribers while others with bs content have millions. Keep up the amazing job! Love it!

First like! Loving this channel guys. Thank you 😊

The coach is there for the athletes, not the other way around…great points from a knowledgeable man.

Such good content and a boss coach, so many little gold nuggets for new coaches. I love how James coaches rather than just facilitating the workout of the day. He creates good relationships or maintains them such that he can modify the workout and have it scaled inside the intensity piece. This is evident at 41:35 “we will do a shorter round here we are going to do 20 sit ups to get you back to those push ups, if these go quick we will add reps next round.” The WOD is just a medium to facilitate a physiological change, a sense of achievement, a specific movement understanding in the athlete. Change it to prioritise the why rather than just stumbling through the what. Good job sir.

Exceptional!

I wanna see a video of 4 straight classes all back to back coached by mr Hobart 😊

I want to be in this class.

Love the video! Would really appreciate something with 12+ members, a technical barbell movement, and some gymnastics! Maybe taking a larger class through Amanda!

You guys are crushing it with these videos!! Love it. Super helpful. I took notes on it and practiced afterwards lol.

Best content I’ve seen from HQ in a minute. More of this please. Love to see a version with a heavy day, monostructural only and then heavy/high skill day.

Amazing! James took my level 1 in 2013. Love these style of videos. Keep them coming 😍

I love these videos I could watch them all day ❤

Great Job James Hobart... Flow Master... didn't realize you'd moved to CO/CF Mafia... Congratulations!!!!

This video was FANTASTIC. Very very helpful. Please do more of these!!! 🙏

Great job James, this is the type of coaching I strive for.

Nice work James!

Thanks CrossFit Training! I’m digging this content! 👊

😂 stanky wrist

Savage, amazing coaching.

I just finished my L1 for the first time about 3 weeks ago. I have been shadowing at my gym. There is a lot to learn. I love it all and looking forward to becoming a great coach with a continual growth mindset.
