Carrie Klumpar coaches press to headstand.

The headstand press accumulates inversion time which is invaluable to the development of spatial awareness, develops the handstand – an essential gymnastic rudiment, and introduces press-to- handstand progressions which train for unique and important muscle recruitment patterns.

The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement.

This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts – the essence of sport movement. For this reason it is an indispensable tool for developing speed and power.

The overhead squat also demands and develops functional flexibility, and similarly develops the squat by amplifying and cruelly punishing faults in squat posture, movement, and stability.

The overhead squat is to midline control, stability, and balance what the clean and snatch are to power – unsurpassed.

CrossFit Certification Seminar September 2005, Sage and Coach Burgener: Power Snatch


“For far too long CrossFitters have mostly remained silent with the knowledge that those who do leg press, curls, and lateral raises on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while jogging long distance on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday were unfit for the demands of combat, sport, and emergency. This silence is due in part to political correctness, deference and respect, and a plain old desire to keep friends friendly. Nature feels no such compunction to respect delusions of competence and speaks her mind with great clarity and conviction – her messenger is Rhabdo.”

We bid fair winds to our friend Dave Shepard who was killed in Mosul, Iraq earlier this week while protecting a diplomatic convoy. Our hearts go out to his wife Cindy, family, and friends at CrossFit North.


In a philosophical moment veteran CrossFitter Mike Yukish recently asked “Where is CrossFit going?” With increasing frequency CrossFitters are marveling at their community, perhaps unparalleled, in the fitness world, committed to excellence, service, and decency, formed spontaneously around a seed crystal of grueling fitness, and while man-made designed by no man.
