Haven’t been doing squats for awhile and slowly building up strength & finding foot placement that will not trigger my knee discomfort as well as “the annoying flicks” on my left hip flexor.

A different kind of squat variation that I learnt from @benperformancecoach but I think I need a lot of work on this.

My personal review from my own video:
- Need to work on the mid pause. I wasn’t consistent enough on holding the paused on 2 sec for every reps.
- Need to work on finding comfortable foot placements so foot it well planted on ground.
- Beed to reload the weight & focus on muscles recruitment.
- Need to wear training shoe next time ☺️

#TittibhasanaA or #Firefly
Again, hip poses are not my favorite, I need to put an extra patient on those asanas, but I feel amazed by the time I practice tittibhasana today. When I started Crossfit, I thought I’m losing the flexibility of the shoulders and the hips because we need to carry a lot of weight and did a lot of squats, I always felt terrible on the next day.
Today I can make the legs climb up higher, closer to shoulders and then control the paused moment of lifting the body up, I can be able to straighten the arms, lower down the pelvis, do the inner rotation of the thighs and then extend the legs straight up high.
I think Crossfit helped me to build up the strength so I can not let the body drop when I need to lower down the hips, and also those squats are kind of an active stretch of the hip flexor and the thigh muscles so that it can help me to balance the length of tendons and muscles, good way to avoid those tendons do not overstretched:) @ The Practice Studio
