If you can’t communicate you can not coach.
There is a key difference between exercice coaching and exercice instructing.
If you feel you are a good communicator in person (not on social media), what helped you to achieve these skills?
... Alternatively what do you feel like you are missing, would you like to improve this?

Brilliant weekend working with this team on the @thegymnasticscourse in Boston 🇺🇸 ⠀ ⠀ Go be awesome ⠀ ⠀ #crossfittraining #crossfitpreferred #crossfitgymnastics #thegymnasticscourse #gymnastics #boston #usa

■ Transferable contractions for virtuosity. Develop hang in hollow positions by decreasing the intensity but increasing the volume, whilst maintaining position and perfections. ⠀ ⠀ ■ You can see this is being achieved by using the low ring on the @thegymnasticscourse ⠀ ⠀ ■ Intensity can be increased here by changing the angle of level. This can help create overload but enable position and perfection. ⠀... ⠀ #CrossFitpreferredcourse #crossfittraining ⠀ #CrossFitpreferred #gymnastics #Strength

What are you weekend goals?
#crossfittraining #crossfitpreferredcourse #crossfitpreferred #thegymnasticscourse #gymnastics #coaching #crossfit #crossfitgames #athletes

• An active should isn’t a lat press away. Do you or your athletes have the Strength and stability to be able to completely control shoulder and scapular postions? ⠀ ⠀ • What do you work on and build upon before developing a strict pull up? ⠀ ⠀ • Want to learn more about the science of training? The performance of coaching? We now have multiple international locations ready for registration. ⠀... ⠀ #CrossFitPreferred #CrossFitpreferredcourse #CrossFittraining #thegymnasticscourse #gymnastics ⠀

Building a solid tight arch rock for tension and position will help lead to sending forces into the correct direction when performing dynamic CrossFit movement for reps.
Spend the time building your shapes and structures. Your efforts will be rewarded by movement efficiency development

■ Tension is the Rx, completing the rep at any cost is not the Rx. ⠀ ⠀ ■ On the @thegymnasticscourse course explication is given around the biomechanical shapes of the pull up, this help coaches and athletes develop to understand and work for position and perfection in the course. ⠀ ⠀ ■ We don’t just provide coaching of a movement, we provide coaching education and a philosophy to leave with. Helping future gymnastic training.

Train for position and perfection. This will lead to increased performance through your movement patterns. ⠀ ⠀ 🤸🏻‍♂️ Work for length and tension in all of your gymnastic shapes. Here you can see my assist perform an upper body arch, with length and tentions instead of height. You often see “athletes” make huge arch’s when swinging on the rings for example. Increasing lumbar spine negative forces and losing positional tension to transfer power. Fix the tension, prevent the I ...jury, increase performance. 🤸🏼‍♀️ ⠀ ⠀ Remember the height of an athletes arch can be dictated by three factors. Strength, flexibility and anthropometrics. _Consider the athelte you have in-front of you. ⠀ ⠀ Want to learn more? Register for @thgymnasticscourse and join our two day coach and athelte education seminar. There are no prerequisites. ⠀ ⠀ #crossfitpreferred #crossfitpreferredcourse #crossfittraining #thegymnasticscourse #gymnastics #crossFitgymnastics #coach #athlete ⠀ Coach: @coach_birdy Assist: @michaeladotterweich 🎥: @phillip_m_lewis_ Box: @rcfalmere

🔹L-Sits: do you train them? 🔹⠀ ⠀ Do you know why you are training them and what you should be working on? ⠀ ⠀ 🔺Are you working to achieve what you feel is the RX of a movement/position. Or are you training position and perfection for specific adaptations through virtuosity. 🔺⠀... ⠀ On day one of the @thegymnasticscourse Our coaches start by progressing through an introduction lecture to the gymnastics course philosophy. This leads to in depth coaching of the hollow arch, hollow rocks, arch rocks, L-sits and V-sits before reaching the larger movements which you commonly see within CrossFit. ⠀ ⠀ 🟨WORK TO VALUE POSITON AND PERFECTIONS OF SHAPES TO MADER GREATER DYNAMIC MOVEMENTS IN LATER TRAINING🟨 ⠀ ⠀ @crossfittraining ⠀ ⠀ #CrossFitPreferred #CrossFitPreferred #thegymnasticscourse #gymnastics #athlete #coaching

Last few days have been spent @crossfitbbros in Budapest. It’s a pleasure to work with such coachable athletes. @laurahorvaht is a hard working talented athlete. Although after seeing her for the last few days it can be seen that she has even more ability to unlock!
Thanks to @thegymnasticscourse asssit @zsolt_soti for sorting me out with a haircut, hoodie and food while. It’s valuable catching up with the Gymnastic course assets.

The Tucked Hollow. Remember some of you athletes/members will not be able to hold this for a long period of time if they have abdominal weekends. Use the physiological training approach which we provide on @thegymnasticscourse to help your athletes develop towards this.
When coaching and fixing, use specific external coaching cues, and if you can develop these into métaphores. Keep it simple.
When viewing and assessing shapes always take into consideration anthropometry.
... If you want to learn more, there is a huge list of upcoming dates for the gymnastics course.
