Wall Arm Bar

This workout will seriously tax your shoulders, maybe even more than last week! The wall arm bar is a simple and gentle way to stretch out the muscles in your chest and add some rotation into the mid back. All you need is a corner and your arms. Here’s a video to walk you through this gentle stretch.

PVC Pass through/ Around the World

The combination of power snatches, burpees, and muscle ups places a ton of stress on the shoulders and we’re going to want a gentle stretch that takes your shoulders through a full range of motion. The PVC pass through and around the worlds are a staple in most CrossFit gyms, so you’re probably aware of how to do them. If not, here’s the video for this progression.

4-Way Wrist

Holy grip fatigue, Batman! This workout absolutely torched my grip, but that’s a weak spot in my game for sure. The four-way wrist series will be a great way to stretch out the wrists and forearms. If you plan on re-testing this workout, be sure to let your grip recover! Here’s a video to show you how to do that.

Brettzel 2.0

This is my all-time favorite stretch! You’ll need a foam roller and floor space - and that’s it! This stretch is great for your shoulders, t-spine, low back, hips, and breathing! Don’t set a timer, but use your breath and focus on deep, calm belly breaths. Click this link for a video.
