pull upsFree Gymnastics Seminar here at Crossfit Southie this Saturday!
Just a friendly reminder that we will be hosting our Gymnastic seminar this weekend so if you are thinking about doing it sign up today! This mini seminar will give you the opportunity to work on your pullups, double unders, and handstand holds/walks! Crossfit Southie will be hosting an hour and a half seminar dedicated solely to the skills required to master and perfect those pullups, handstands and rope work. To give you a brief inside scoop the pullup portion of the seminar will cover an explanation of the kip, basic kipping drills, how to utilize the bands in a workout, linking together multiple reps, and butterfly pullups for more advanced athletes. We will break it down in a similar fashion for the other two skills as well. Groups will be broken up according to skill level so that athletes will gain the most from the session.  Don’t hesitate to sign up, there is always something that could use a little more improvement to become more proficient athlete. This seminar is free for CFS members and open to CrossFit athletes outside of the Southie community for $20, so convince some friends to join you! Click HERE to sign up!
