We had the pleasure of being part of the Western Warriors Weightlifting Competition on Saturday 11th July.

Born from the idea that CrossFitters love to Oly, CrossFit Rise Up owners Ben and Logan Poon along with Damien Hennigan of CrossFit Westgate, came up with the idea to run a unique Weightlifting Competition for CrossFitters.

Only in their second year running, this comp sold out within hours of being released and there’s no doubt it’s here to stay!

So often we see people come into the clinic with issues performing overhead moves, none more so than the Snatch or Overhead Squat.

For the most of us, we are chained to a desk the good majority of the day, most days a week. This sustained stooped forward position leads to your thoracic spine being stuck in flexion, which doesn’t allow proper scapula mechanics, in turn limit end overhead position or if left unattended can lead to painful shoulder impingement syndrome.

Over the past few months, We at Evolutio have been thinking up an array of ideas that may improve individuals understanding of both basic and advanced movement principles.

We want to provide innovation in athlete education and continue to bridge the gap between therapists and athletes as we aid athletes participating in CrossFit®, Powerlifting and Olympic Lifting.

We want to do all of this, whilst exploring the underlying biomechanical reasons that certain cues are given by trainers in the gym environment whilst pitching out a few extra little idea’s that could go a long way to improve your movement deficiencies or niggles.
