Training with or through injuries is often something we all encounter and it is important to understand that the training staff at SCCF take a very active recovery approach.

Enter the "don't rot" concept.

Giving your injury the proper attention and rest is paramount but what about the remainder of your badass self?  The last thing any of us wants is for that hard earned (if it hasn't been hard to earn please contact one of our coaches, or send me a private email prior to your next workout) muscle mass to waste away, which is exactly what happens when one gets hurt and decides is time to pay a long overdue visit to the couch, clearing off the ice layers on that tub of ice cream, and catching up on the Tivo.

The alternative, and what is going to keep you healing fast, feeling positive and staying strong, is to get down the box and have one of your coaches scale a workout....we've got a zillion.  If you have come off of a serious injury or surgery, and have been issued a rehabilitation protocol....bring it! We want to be in full compliance with your doc and PT, all the while facilitating your progress and recovery to its fullest potential.

Words from the Box:
Don't fret. We have been busy getting people strong in the gym, running trails, planning events, dialing in our upcoming paleo challenge, sharing beef, and getting ready to launch a kick ass website. The plan was to have a new site up and running for the next series of posts, but it is taking a little longer than expected, so we are back on the blog. It may not be daily, but between here and our facebook page, you will all be in the know.

Where are our shirts? Good question! We should have our 1st edition SCCF shirts for sale, starting sometime next week....lean, mean, black, organic cotton, 20 bucks (Nick says they're free if you can climb the rope with one arm and ring the bell)

depth check

Kathy displaying great depth on the squat!

If you possess the flexibility and mechanics, get below parallel by making sure your hip crease is getting below your knee at the bottom of the squat. If you don't, work on it! Have your workout partner and coach stand to the side of you and observe your range of motion.  Breaking parallel employs maximum recruitment of our friend, the hamstring, and helps keep knees healthy and safe under large loads.
