25.01.2022 This is Libby. Libby loves playing netball despite the evil things it has done to her ankle. Libby is dedicated though, she booked herself in to improve her ankle function and reduce her pain and chance of rolling it again. Be like Libby. Protect yourself and continue doing what you love.... You might actually enjoy it! . . . Who else loves their sport so much that injury takes the backseat??? #goodbyeinjury @ Dialogue CrossFit See more

22.01.2022 Get that practice in! Handstands, as popular as they’ve become, take practice. We don’t just wake up one morning with a new skill under our belts, they require time! And time in more than one position sometimes...dependant on what your handstand goals may be. Here is a wall walk hold, focusing on an active body; active shoulders + active hips! This position helps in the development of a static handstand hold, but also in creating confidence upside down, developing st...rength overhead and gaining flexibility and mobility in the upper body! Whatever it is you want to achieve, you must first practice! Only then will you get reaaaallllyyyy good at it

21.01.2022 Want to improve your KIP in a handstand? You have to first put your HIPS on the wall! Once mastering the wall handstand and developing your confidence, next you must be stable in the base position of a handstandor you simply will continue to fall off the wall - despite your fabulous shoulder strength or mobility!... 1. Once on the wall, slowly descend onto a mat or the floor (depending entirely on your strength level - use 3 ab mats to start!), orrrr start in a curled up handstand like I did. 2. Let your hips move backward toward the wall, finding a comfortable position where you could ideally hang out for ~1min! Thats the sweet spot; completely stable in the base. Weight is now distributed between your 2 hands and 1 cranium - and you feel confidence in the wall 3. From there, the kip is initiated from the hips - propelling your body upward, followed by a lock out of the shoulders and legs! We will get to the later! 4. Master the base position = mastering kipping handstands! #happykipping

20.01.2022 1. Simply bend over (banded or not banded) as you would for a good morning or deadlift; keeping tension in your back. 2. Keeping moving down until you feel a nice stretch in your hamstrings/calves/lower back - whatever comes first. Have soft knees when you do this to ensure a better stretch for step 3 3. Slowly straighten and bend your knee (~20x) to achieve the desired release. One leg at time. Aim to get your hands to the ground (over time!) with a straight behk. #happystretching

14.01.2022 I have a shoulder injury from muscle ups. I have a sore back from deadlifts. No you DO NOT, you have an injury from doing the movement poorly or incorrectly. And you know what, that’s fine, we can fix that! When you go and see your physio, massage therapist or spiritual healer; they probably ask what you were doing to sustain the injury, but have you ever been asked to show them or further explain exactly what you did, exactly how you performed the movement??? Too often healt...h professionals wrap themselves in a thick covering of bubble wrap and decide that it’s safer to go for a slow walk than to fucking use their bodies, they then express their conservative views and that is; that the movement is the cause, not the fact that you can’t activate your hamstrings or you internally rotate your shoulder to the very edges of its delicate socket as you launch yourselves uncontrollably over the bar for a muscle up! These things happen, we get sore, when you learn new things there is always a period of adaptation and stress on the body. Don’t let your piece of shit conservative 2000 step a day doctor or health professional scare you out of using your body. Learn to move better and enjoy your active healthy body!

14.01.2022 This guy should be everyone’s motivation! Anthony has lost 107kg in 7months...all by himself! *Read that again. I got the pleasure of meeting Anthony in a physio consultation, only because he now wanted to start some strength training, having hit a manageable weight and body fat %!... Anthony just decided one day that he needed to change, and that was it. Every Monday he would weigh himself, tracking his progress on notes - and averaged a 5kg loss every week!!! Monday, he decided, was a fabulous day to weigh in as he would have to last the weekend! Since Anthony has started he has been hitting the gym 3-6days a week and actually enjoys eating healthy - it makes him feel good! So why go backwards?! To achieve these results are incredible alone...but to do this by yourself is freaking godly!!! Stayed tuned for some awesome strength progress and even CrossFit sessions for this inspirational and intrinsically motivated dude!

13.01.2022 The best way to demonstrate a Kipping Ring Dip - in slow motion When we learn to start Kipping (or making things faster), we often skip steps just to gain some precious time! Correct movement however, needs to be learnt properly or we will forever be stuck at certain levels...and slow! Slow the movement down, learn the motor pattern and why you should feel, then BAM - massive results will follow 1. Firstly, when we descend into the dip, we should be maintaining our hol...low body position - legs put in front, toes pointed, biceps touching the rings. 2. The momentum into the kip then develops from the aggressive hip flexion we create when bringing the knees in toward our chest, on the press up from the bottom. 3. That momentum created, simply converts to our beautiful press out of the dip - force transferring directly upward to assist in motion and making our dip We then finish it all with locked out elbows and regaining our hollow body position again (straight legs)! Start by doing single reps, step by step and feeling the momentum drive you up, up, up!!! #happytraining

12.01.2022 My beautiful client Amy is pretty restricted in her overhead mobility...and strength! So today we worked on some small steps to improve this for her... Cupping + soft tissue release of lats, upper traps, neck muscles, mid back muscles Mobility of her neck Hold release muscle activation through her lats And am exercise plan to continue to work those three areas ... Keep up to date with this fabulous lady’s results #happyhealthybody

10.01.2022 Did you know that @dialogue_kids is a thing now?! We all know the importance of moving the right way, so why not teach it early in life? Dialogue kids is instilling the skills, strength and confidence needed kick ass in life!

10.01.2022 20.4 Recovery Grab a trigger ball, roller, band + mat, and get set to relax, roll and recover! All the best everyone!... #2020crossfitopens See more

09.01.2022 Here’s a quick shoulder burner! Perfect for a shoulder warmup, or for all those weaker or unstable shoulders out there! Simply grab a smaller band pull it apart and externally rotate those shoulders Start by creating mini vibrations as your pull the band apart, slowly working through your shoulder range... If you feel pain in any area on the way up - stop - and head back down Try to get higher each day; aiming for 1-10rounds based on the deep burn your feel deep in the shoulder (not any sharp pain!) Vibrations and constant tension stresses the deep stabilising shoulder muscles (rotator cuff), allowing them to WAKE up, start CONTROLLING those inner ranges and allow awareness, and develop big STRONG fibres! #happyshoulders

07.01.2022 A ‘dead-ball’ should use EXACTLY the same muscles and technique that a dead-lift -> after all we are picking up a dead-weight from the floor If anything, please take away the use of your legs when doing this! Getting your ball over your shoulder or into a standing position is the goal, yes, however when repetitively doing this movement the wrong way, you could do some serious damage! Let’s try to [set-load-lift] and hit a perfect lift every time Firstly, bend to the ...floor and place your hands under the ball. In your position of comfort you may have your hamstrings on tension or be in a more squatted position. From here (the most important part), raise your chest and extend your thoracic spine [set], screw your feet into the ground driving through your legs [load], and lift the ball onto your knees [lift]. From the knees, readjust your grip and explode into triple extension; guiding the ball over your shoulder or to a carry position #happylifting

03.01.2022 WHY DO WE KEEP SABOTAGING OURSELVES??? Everyday I encounter people who are unknowingly self sabotaging themselves. Definition: getting in our own way of success and never achieving our goals! The perfect way to explain this is the PISTOL SQUAT. ... We know good and well that we can do (5) quality pistol squats on the floor - no help needed. BUT the ‘Workout of the Day’ has 2 rounds of 20x pistol squats (=40 pistols!). What am I going to doI’m going to pistol squat on the floor, bust my ass through every single rep, probably blow out the workout or potentially not finish, then leave in a bad and disappointed mood!!! BAM! This is self sabotage! I know full well that this is not possible for ME - even before I start my workout - so why do I continue onevery single day? Instead, let’s stop and think what a better option would be for ME?! And start rewarding yourself and actually making progress! How? For the pistol example, I could do those 5 pistols on the floorfollowed by 15 pistols using a plateOR I could do all 20x with a plate and move that bit faster through the workout. At the end of the day, personally I could perform 40 pistol squats - perfecting my movement, increasing strength and keeping up the workout intensityrather than struggling with every rep and wasting majority of the workout doing pistols, then leaving disappointed. How are you self sabotaging your progress? Today I want you to let yourself win abit today. Scale or modify something and see how you feel afterward? Every decision you make can either lift you up or bring you down. I know what I would rather. #JUSThappy thanks @cmack____ for your great pistol progressions!

02.01.2022 Shoulder setting in 4 easy steps! Creating constant tension in your shoulders is very important when it comes to; -injury prevention -strength development... -muscle balance -body and shoulder awareness -functional training! In order to activate or ‘set your shoulder’; follow these simply steps; 1. Relax your shoulders, and squeeze your shoulder blades directly together (no up or down) 2. Depress or lower your shoulder blade, maintain the squeeze together 3. External rotate the shoulders by slightly turning the shoulders ‘outward’ - this is the most important part for ROTATOR CUFF activation! 4. Set your shoulders and maintain this activated position when lifting, pulling, pushing and moving! Not feeling what I mean? Send me a video and I can help you out!! #strongshoulders
