Low Back Over Extension – Results Fitness
Posted by admin in joint mobility on September 11, 2010
Hey everyone,
This a topic that I frequently bring up with my athletes. Low back over extension, while locked-out overhead.
I see it all too often and we need to work on this. Yes “we”… unfortunately, even your coach places himself in this vulnerable position from time to time (so if you see me doing it give me a smack!)
The cause can be a number of factors, but the one that is most often overlooked is the hipflexors at the top of your quad. If you can open up the hip here, it’s going to move you into a stronger position while overhead, protecting your low back. Here’s a great video from the Crossfit mobility expert, Kelly Starrett. The end of it really helps to address the problem.
If you have any comments, please feel free to post them below and i’ll address them as soon as I can.
Enjoy!

Virtuosity “performing the common uncommonly well”
Whether you’re a personal trainer from Coquitlam, an Olympic coach or novice beginner, i’m sure you’ll appreciate this article written by Gregg Glass, founder of Crossfit.
He speaks of the tendency of novices who are developing any skill, weather it be sport, music or art, to want to move through the fundamentals as quickly as possible, to more elaborate skills.
He stresses that in order to truly master coaching and personal training we must strive for virtuosity in the fundamental movements of our athletes. We must enforce our athletes to perfect the basics and reward them for doing so.
Stay clear of trying to impress clients with gizmos, gadgets and “super” exercises.
Demand virtuosity for a fundamental movement like squatting and you’re athletes will never bore, never complain, and will always progress.
It’s a must read for any coach!
