Stubborn Determination.

Here is one of my stories of stubborn determination-
I do have a bit of a gymnastic background but I NEVER trained anything on the parallel bars during that time. It wasn't until I came across crossfit that 1st saw parallettes. I then made a set and kept them in my living room working things like L-sits, in & outs, and the likes.. Since that time I taught myself how to press and hold handstands, planche positions, and to consistantly and proficiently perform other balance/control moves. I have now moved onto the "big bars" and I continue my training with those. I realize now how stubborn my determination is. How stubborn is yours...?

Parallettes.

As CrossFit Central's resident Parallette Bad Ass, I am more than eager to share my skills, enhance your technique, and raise your strength and body control. This is what I do. This is what I love to do.

Power Without Control is Nothing.

Harmony of Strength and Balance

Are you sic fit? Besides proficiency in the 10 General Physical Skills-
1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance - The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
2. Stamina - The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
3. Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
4. Flexibility - the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
5. Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
7. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
8. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
9. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.
10. Accuracy- The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.
Sic fit is being well at all 10 at any given moment and to be able to pull from more than just 1 skill set at a time. Train to get fit and train to get sic fit.
