Who IS your daddy?

Sharing the CF love with the next generation.
If we listened closely do you think the fatherly advice before class was something like this, "Now go over and tell Chris that you prefer to do things at your own pace, and you'll get to each exercise when you're ready...he'll appreciate that!" Certainly not on "5-on-a-Side" night (Bear Crawl & Star Jump transitions).
(PS, can you correctly perform #2 on the sign?)

Back rounding

Rounding the back during squat or lifts puts unequal pressure on the disc (as you can see in the right pic)...almost pinching/pushing/bulging it out the back...ouch!




Maintaining a tall spine, natural lumbar curve (left pic)...will go a long way in reducing the chance of back pain.
