Saturdays we bench! Warm ups consist of band activation and ring stability work to ensure the shoulders are stable before we ever touch a bar. If your shoulders aren't stable, they elevate and protract during push ups / bench press, and that instability puts you at risk for injury, both in the gym and in the real world. When sustainable fitness is your goal, you can't skimp on the important stuff! A stable shoulder is a strong, injury resistant shoulder. #GeorgiaBarbellClub #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #my_Athens #sportsperformance #injuryprevention

Today's workout! We've got some prehab, some agility, and some sprint intervals for you today! If you prefer, you can go for the 1 mile run retest in lieu of the sprints if you want to beat your previous time. Keep in mind, if you aren't pleased with your top running speed, sprint intervals are the best way to improve it. Today's 100 rep quarantine challenge movement is Turkish sit ups. All movements are outlined in the video. Let's get it! #crossfit https://youtu.be/TZRJ-0iWDVE

Today is an active recovery or make up day! If you missed a workout between Monday and Wednesday, make that up today. If you've done all three, we posted a mobility warm up video to get loose, and if you're feeling good after that, a one mile run test! Don't forget about Day 4 of your #100repquarantinechallenge! #crossfit https://youtu.be/yYwrdAjtjQE

As always, we will continue to do everything possible to ensure the health and safety of our members. We will be disinfecting the gym EVERY HOUR and will send out updates on the pandemic and how to stay safe. For starters, 1. Wash your hands! Lather for at least 20 seconds to let the soap do its job. 2. Dont touch your face! 3. Stay active, eat healthy and stay hydrated! A strong body and immune system are invaluable, now and always. 4. Dont shake hands! A smile, and... if need be, an elbow bump, is the new way to greet. 5. If you have a cough, stay home! Better safe than sorry. If you are ill and must be out, keep your distance and cough into your elbow/sleeve. If anybody has any questions dont hesitate to reach out. There is lots of conflicting info floating around right now and it can be confusing, if not frustrating. Knowledge is power. Continue to check your email for updates. See more

#workyourweaknesses It isn't often glamorous. Doing what you aren't good at can be frustrating or boring. But we are only as strong as our weakest link. Impl...ementing corrective exercises and weakness work is like eating your vegetables. Sure we would rather have steak and eggs or pizza for every meal, but fitness, like life, is all about balance. Sometimes you've gotta do the stuff you don't enjoy so that you can safely enjoy the fun stuff #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #weightlifting #my_Athens #strongishappy #strongisthenewskinny #crossfitforeveryone #crossfitforlife #fitkids #CrossFitLevel3 #USAW #NSCACSCS #crossfitinAthens #fitnessinAthens #sustainablefitness #longevity See more

#ProgressReport! James came to us with some imbalances that made squatting deep uncomfortable, difficult, and frustrating. We noticed he would shift his weight to favor one side on every exercise from squats to cleans and deadlifts. After a few weeks of #correctiveexercises, he has drastically improved both strength and mobility in his weaker hip, which affords him improved performance both in the gym and on the dance floor. Nice work James! #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #strongisthenewskinny #strongishappy #weightlifting #my_Athens #USAW #CROSSFITLEVEL3 #NSCACSCS #bettereveryday

#ProgressReport! Joani came to us with very typical symptoms for a woman over 40: tight hips, pain in the knees and occasionally the back, decreased mobility in general. After several weeks of #correctiveexercises, we've got her hips opening up and she is now able to squat below parallel for the first time in decades, not to mention pain free in her knees! Awesome work @joanic3! #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #crossfitgirls #girlswholift #my_Athens #weightlifting #strongishappy #strongisthenewskinny #fitover40 #fitmom #momstrong #notolderjustbetter #momswhomove #doitforthebooty

Our #momswhomove class is a comprehensive blend of #correctiveexercises to strengthen the #core and stabilize the pelvis after baby, with plenty of stability work before we return to #functional #strengthtraining.

#TechniqueTuesday! Ms Vail demonstrates the handstand push up with a nice vertical torso and tight core and legs. Many folks who struggle with handstand push ups are so focused on what their arms are doing that they forget to engage their core and lower body. Next time you try these, remember to squeeze your legs, butt and midline. You should notice an immediate improvement in how stable and strong your handstands feel! #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #crossfitgirls #girlswholift #my_Athens #weightlifting #strongishappy #strongisthenewskinny #crossfitforeveryone #crossfitforlife #fitfam #CrossFitLevel3 #USAW

We now have PT availability if you know anyone who wants to make their new years resolution stick this year but would prefer a 1-on-1 environment! It's never too late to get started!

Happy new years eve gang! As we close out 2019, take a few minutes to reflect on the progress you've made this year. Hopefully there are some achievements you're happy with, like Mark getting the hang of the rope climb. If you haven't already, start thinking about what you'd like to work towards in 2020. Be ambitious, but be realistic. Then post your top 3 goals in the comments! #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #weightlifting #my_Athens #strongishappy #strongisthenewskinny #crossfitforeveryone #crossfitforlife #USAW #CrossFitLevel3 #fitkids #2020goals #gainz

Merry Christmas!

Progress report! For decades, Bijal suffered from chronic pain, compromised mobility, and general dysfunction that made everyday tasks painful or impossible. After a few months of comprehensive training including balance work, strength training, and dormant muscle activation, she is now squatting below parallel with ZERO pain in her knees, back, or hips for the first time this millennium. Awesome work Bijal! #crossfit #whyarentyoustronger #GeorgiaBarbellClub #crossfitgirls #girlswholift #my_Athens #weightlifting #strongishappy #strongisthenewskinny #crossfitforeveryone #crossfitforlife #mastersathlete #squats

Congrats to our December Athlete of the Month, Eamon! 1. What do you do outside of the gym? I work at a research lab at UGA, where we are developing methods to better forecast things like the number of people who will get the flu. ... 2. Favorite thing about crossfit and favorite Movement/ Lift? I like how crossfit has opened up new worlds of exercise to amateur athletes and fitness enthusiasts like me. I come from a distance-running background, and learning all of the movements done in crossfit and seeing the personal progress I've been able to make has been and continues to be a great adventure. Overall, I feel like a superhuman relative to before I started. My favorite movement would probably be the squat clean. 3. What do you love about Georgia Strength? I get great support from the coaches and other members. From day one, I got the feeling that they had confidence in my ability to succeed in doing the standard workouts if I kept at it. Ultimately, it up to you to figure figure out what you need to do to succeed but having more experienced people giving you pointers and just working out in a group with others who are more advanced is a tremendous help. They keep things fun too. See more

Why do we strive to be fit? Sure it feels good, and it's nice to look at your toes once in a while. Maybe gaining some aesthetically pleasing muscle tone would boost your confidence. But the number one reason is to avoid costly disease and premature death. There is no magic pill, no voodoo cleanse, no 5 minute shortcut to being truly fit. Drugs and shortcuts just mask the symptoms of disease, which are your body's way of signaling to you that it is not operating efficien...tly. It takes hard work and persistence, dedication and prioritization. There is always an excuse, always an easy way out of fulfilling your commitment to your health. But at the end of the day, you've only got one body, so it's in your best interest to make the choice to prioritize taking care of it! A little mindful consistency goes a long way, and there is no greater reward for your efforts than spending your leisure time for years to come doing the things you enjoy rather than feeling sick and broken all the time because you didnt train your body to be resilient when you had the chance. It's never too late to turn down that road! Come in for a free trial workout and let us show you how to get in the best shape of your life! See more

This time of year people tend to get lazy. Holidays, travel, family, lots of good food around, etc etc. You either find a way to prioritize your health, or you find an excuse to ignore it. But there is no avoiding it: you either spend a little time, money and effort on your fitness now, or you will spend a lot more on being sick later. Being fit means less time and money on doctors, fewer sick days, fewer medications, higher quality of life. Let us help you create a healthy new habit today!

Random assorted awesomeness, and it's only Monday!

Congrats to our November Athlete of the Month Gisela! * What do you do outside of the gym? * I work full time for a real estate developer in the investment management department. ... * Favorite thing about crossfit and favorite Movement/ Lift? * I like Crossfit because every day you do something different and therefore are never bored. It’s the perfect combination of lifting and cardio. My two favorite lifts are cleans and deadlifts. * What do you love about Georgia Strength? * I love the coaches at GS because they guide you and push you to become better every day and I also love the programming since it truly helps you to become better at both strength and endurance. I also like the other members that I get to workout with.
