Scaling the V-Up? Try this! We use v-ups a ton a Scaling the V-Up? Try this! 

We use v-ups a ton as a scale/substitute for toes to bar and GHD sit-ups. So what happens if v-ups are still a work in progress?!

Having some feet support will help you build time under tension and let you bang out a few more reps. 

➡️ You should be able to keep small of the back on the ground when doing these. If you’re still building that core control, you can work on hollow holds or do deadbugs. 

➡️ You can start with a thicker band and as you become more proficient use a thinner one.

In honor of Blindness Awareness Month, we have pro In honor of Blindness Awareness Month, we have programmed our athletes and followers "Finding the Light" a workout programmed by CrossFit Games Adaptive Athlete Kym Dekeyrel @kympossiblexoxo 

Kym began losing her sight at just five years old after being diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. As her vision continued to fade, she felt consumed by darkness — until the day her husband brought her to a CrossFit gym, where for the first time, she was celebrated for what she could do instead of defined by what she couldn’t.

You can learn more about her journey and donate to her cause at https://give.fightingblindness.org/campaign/finding-the-light-2025/c710702

The workout is programmed all week as our workout of the month (link in linktree to register, free, and join our leaderboard).

OPTION 1- Getting Your First Handstand

You can use a mat if you are worried you are going to fall

Rest 1-2 minutes

OPTION 2– Handstand Walking Capacity

-———
Part 1
-———

3 Sets

Ready to start working on your gymnastics 3-5 days Ready to start working on your gymnastics 3-5 days a week?? 

🦄 That’s the magic of CFT programming! By focusing on what only our female athletes need, we press, we pull, and we work on all the gymnastics pieces almost every day!

If you’re frustrated with lack of progress, feel like you have to do 8 billion other programs to address all your weaknesses, our programming is for YOU!

➡️ Our girls are currently working on butterfly pullups, handstand walking, and ring dips. 

Feel like those skills are a million miles away? Don’t worry - we have two options for each skill piece: for those just starting out and for those building capacity.

Think because our program title is “Competitive” it’s not for you? Nope- we named it CFT because the only person you need to be competing with is yourself - if you want to grow in this sport, we are for you!

–ABOUT THIS MOVEMENT–

👉🏻Dumbbell/Foam Roller Arch to Hollow

Points of Performance: 
1. Start with your thighs on the foam roller and hands on the DBs, relax into the arch position. Your stomach should be touching the ground 
2. Brace and press your hands into the Dumbbell while pulling your ribcage to your hips. 
3. This is a small movement, you are just pressing into the hollow body with your arms by your ears.

Coach Trina programs these a LOT for our girls in their gymnastics skill work - it’s an amazing movement to warm up for gymnastics, learn what it feels like to press into hollow, and build a strong core!

Did you know Coach @trina.rasmussen programs all our gymnastics programming, and she has a 3 day gymnastics program to add on to your regular training if you like your class work? You should check out her profile - she is pretty badass (and SO freaking strong!).
