Helen - Deadlifts
According to the CrossFit Journal, "The deadlift is a functional movement. It is nothing other than picking something off the floor. When picking up a barbell, there are three setup conditions that create efficient, effective and safe mechanics: weight on the heels, maintaining solid midline stability, and having the shoulders just in front of the bar. The bar should travel vertically without having to move forward around the knees."
Helen is a beginner CrossFitter and she has pretty good form for her skill level. Notice how she keeps her back straight and keeping the bar close to her shins. One thing she can work on is extending the hips, avoid snapping her hips and leaning forward more. Soon enough, she will be able to add more weight to her deadlift after she masters the mechanics.
CrossFit WOD:
Five rounds for time of:
50 Wall-ball shots with 20-pound ball to ten-foot target
25 Pull-ups
