Busy bees of the 4:30 PM class.

Folks, we're hittin' up the overhead work today. Therefore, I have a question for you. Do you know what a great lockout position looks like? What mobility work have you done lately to help you achieve a great lockout position? [P.S. that mobility video I just linked to is highly amusing. I kind of wish there had been vomit. SPOILER: no vomit.]

I hope there are positive responses to both of those questions. Because guess what? Great lockout position = better posture = better back health. In case you didn't know, every inch that your head juts forward of your spine is an extra 10 lbs of load your back and neck have to carry. And doesn't that sound GREAT for your chronic back issues? In short, take care of your shit. Today and every day. At home, before you WOD, and after you WOD. It's on you. Don't be a hunchback. It's just not sexy.
