Another soul, Beau, has joined our CrossFit Santa Monica Beach crew. One of the ways that we practice weighted movements in CrossFit is either with an empty bar or with a piece of PVC pipe. It may sound counter-intuitive, but it is a perfect way to get trained in a complicated movement pattern. Form errors are easier to address, and your brain's motor pathways can be created without the additional stress of weight. When you actually get under a bar with weight, you can then focus on pushing the weight because your brain already knows how to push it. Beau demonstrates this below with the overhead squat. Say hi to Beau, everyone!
