DRS STRONG WEEK 130: MECHANICS OVER EVERYTHING!

Rosario Rios Aguilar • March 20, 2017
"QUALITY IS NOT AN ACT. IT'S A HABIT"

THE FOCUS OF THE WEEK is to LOOK good while training. At the end of the day if your mechanics are poor, it will catch up to you. no LONGEVITY!!! look good when you move weight, when you do pull ups, when you row. CREATE that muscle memory and be a MACHINE!!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO REMEMBER:

1. Control your breathing: If you allow your breathing to get out of control, then your mind will think you are more tired than what you usually are. DON'T BREATHE AS HARD AS YOU ARE WORKING!

2. FOCUS on the movement and not how sucky or hard an exercise is. Learning to teach your brain that what you are doing is for a purpose, it will quickly go from "THIS SUCKS" to "I AM DOING WELL, PICK UP THE BAR, SQUAT, PRESS, BREATHE, ETC" 

3. Mechanics are developed when you move with purpose. If you go through the motions, your brain and body will as well. There has to be a purpose of why you are moving a certain way. For example: In the squats, there is a purpose why we go below 90 degrees and we hit depth, because your hips are meant to go through full range of motion. If you have lost that range of motion due to injuries or surgeries, the purpose would be to try and regain strength and range of motion in a healthier way that you couldn't previous to the injury. 

When we hit a target during a wall ball, we are creating repetition on our accuracy, you are developing skills that you would not necessarily practice on your own outside of DRS, so maximize your training here and apply it out there !!

THERE IS A PURPOSE BEHIND EVERYTHING WE DO AND HOW WE MOVE :)

Keep up the good work and finish strong on the CrossFit Open 2017! last week!!!

MECHANICS OVER EVERYTHING!

Stay Strong,

DRS Strong Week 382: Do the thing you've been afraid to do!

By Rosario Aguilar • January 17, 2022
Why do we hesitate to do things we want to do? What makes us scared? We might never have the answers to a lot of questions, and believe me I love questions haha! But what I do know is that we are only here with an expiration date so why not go and seek adventure and do the things we are afraid of doing and trying. Anything worthwhile is both scary but yet super empowering. The thrill of doing something out of your comfort zone, outside of your circle, speaking in front of thousands, singing out loud, the saying dance like nobody is watching! so so true for all of us! Look at yourself in the mirror and appreciate every part of you. Dig deep in your own feeling and your own brain. Share the love of something with someone you choose. Read poems, do the photoshoot you have always wanted, sky dive ( never have I ever haha) Get in the gym and kick your butt! don't be afraid to be the last one of the class, it won't be for long! Talk on the phone more often, ask your crush on a beach walk :) anything that you always have wanted to do. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!! Stay Strong, DRS Strong! Coach RRA
