Monroe you're the best. Yes, we all should listen to coach in order not to get injured. Slow progression for beginers is key. I didn't listen to my coach and got my shoulder injured on butterflys. Had weak form because of weak back muscles. Big thanks from Croatia!
So helpful, thank you! Is there a resource where all of these prerequisites or progressions are written out? I’d love to have a guide if some sort to follow for all of the complex skills.
Monroe, another great video! I am one of those with some restricted shoulder mobility that is so common. Not to digress but, as with me, I think a lack of shoulder mobility is WAY over diagnosed, as it is most ofter a lack of THORACIC mobility. Anyway what I have come to also realize is 'stretching' is very ineffective toward increasing mobility, while dynamic movements under increasing load is fabulous at improving range of motion. For example, doing bar kips and snatches improves shoulder (thoracic) mobility far more effectively than 'stretching.' As you suggest, good form is ALWAYS in order. Finally, as I progress in my CF journey I am continuously amazed just how much I was limited in the past due to a lack of shoulder strength. More advanced CF puts incredible demands on the shoulders. Nearly all the things I once could not do only became possible as I improved upon shoulder strength. ANY bar movement with kipping, HSPU . . . and to one of your points in this video, if you do not have a prerequisite strength and skipping the basics, then you are setting yourself up for injury. Indeed shoulder injuries are among the most common CF. Thank you again.
Yes, strength and mobility are two sides of the same coin. Tightness and weakness are also related...you want to be strong and mobile and have active and functional range of motion. Thanks for the comment! Hope your shoulders are feeling good!
Awesome insightful comment. I actually just dislocated my shoulder a little not during CF but by stretching too aggressively. Your advice is great and makes total sense: using dynamic movements to build range of motion under increasing load. I'll start this week. Thank you!
I totally agree with you, CrossFit communities go to far from the basic. we are not sport man and women. we are learning to be. I have found for 4 years in CrossFit Push-ups is the basic to master first.
Monroe you're the best.

@@gcarv3418 you are welcome. I’m no Monroe, but I’ve been coaching CF for a few years and never stop learning through experience and observation
Lets get it 🔥
YESSIR!
Love your channel man
