Matty taking PNF stretching to a new level
Last Saturday we had Russell Muir, the head athletic trainer at Rio Hondo College, come speak to us about common sports injuries. We covered methods of treating and preventing them. Russell dropped a huge atomic knowledge bomb on us and we did our darndest to soak it all up. He understood what we as CrossFitters put our bodies through on a daily basis. The clinic was about four hours long and it was unanimous that it was well worth the time.
We covered knee, shoulder, back, ankle and muscle injuries. We covered the healing process and how to recover properly from an injury. Over the next few weeks, we will be writing about what we learned in the clinic. We’ll have posts covering everything from foam rolling to why or why not to use anti-inflamatories to biomechanics.
Russell will be back on April 3rd and I highly advise all of you to sign up (cost is $45). We are limiting the number of seats to 20 people to make sure Russell can address everyone’s questions. If you love to CrossFit and you want to stay active, this will be an investment worth making.

Forrest – count me in for April 3rd!!
Forrest, count me in as well. Everyone’s told me it was a pretty great lecture and I heard the WOD before it wasn’t too shabby. Here’s an interesting article I found on a blog called “Son of Grok” it’s all about the “primal lifestyle”. This one focuses on how to drink responsibily, so it definitely fits all of our active lives in the Southbay haha. Read back through some of his older posts and I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of older posts that you can enjoy. http://www.sonofgrok.com/2010/03/how-to-drink-irresponsibly-yet-primal/
I’m in for that weekend!
You guys its so worth it-Russell makes it easy to conceptualize the basics of injuries, our bodies, and when to not be an over-achiver (CFers over-achievers, yea right).
Jon thanks for making me feel better to get crunk in da club:)
Sounds like something I should also sign up for!
I loved yesterdays WOD!!!!!
