How CrossFit is Ruining Your Knees - Freddy Camcho of CrossFit One World on the squat.
"On the athletic front, the squat is the quintessential hip extension exercise, and hip extension is the foundation of all good human movement. Powerful, controlled hip extension is necessary and nearly sufficient for elite athleticism. “Necessary” in that without powerful, controlled hip extension you are not functioning anywhere near your potential. “Sufficient” in the sense that everyone we’ve met with the capacity to explosively open the hip could also run, jump, throw, and punch with impressive force. Secondarily, but no less important, the squat is among those exercises eliciting a potent neuroendocrine response. This benefit is ample reason for an exercise’s inclusion in your regimen."

A Couple Announcements
We have canceled the 1pm class on Saturday's! We are trying to rework the schedule and this class and its attendance didn't make the cut.
On Wednesday the 19th the powers that be (building management) will be holding an event on the patio just outside the gym. As a result, our main entrance will be locked from 6pm on. All those coming to the gym that night will enter through the building's main doors and then through the gate by the restrooms.
