•exercise library•⠀ ?the DEADLIFT?⠀ Muscle groups: the whole posterior chain (hamstrings, glutes, spinae erectors, Lats, rhomboids, posterior deltoids, traps....) ⠀ •⠀ Purpose: the deadlift is truly a full body exercise, specifically strengthening/building the posterior chain. This exercise is a compound movement, meaning it utilizes multiple joints and muscle groups to perform the lift. Deadlifts build your glutes and back, help you run faster and jump higher, and can help train for better posture when done correctly.⠀ •⠀ Should you be deadlifting? ⠀ - assuming you do not have any major injuries, then yes, you should. The deadlift should be a vital and pivotal part of your training. If you haven’t done them before, then don’t be an idiot. Learn from a professional. Seek advice from more than this post itself. I won’t go through the set up and execution merely because words will not do justice

Meet coach Jenna! Jenna has played a huge role in the growth and development of Hidden Alley CrossFit. She started with HAC only months after the doors opened. At that time she was 3 months pregnant with her first child, and needless to say, she scared the sh*t out of everyone with how hard she trained. But she was in complete control of herself, and incredibly knowledgeable on limitations. She taught all of us about training through pregnancy and since then we’ve helped over 8 moms work and stay fit through there pregnancies safely and properly. ⠀ •⠀ Jenna’s work ethic is truly something incredible. There are many people who have the gift of incredible athleticism, but lack the ability to work through the intense pain of hard workouts. Jenna has both. I’ve trained hundreds of athletes, but have only met maybe 2-3 that have the ability to shut off that voice in their head telling them they can’t like Jenna can. We also know that this work ethic transfers to her life outside the gym. She has a very competitive job that she excels in, all while being a mother of two youngsters, and the wife of a total goober (coach julian). ⠀ •⠀ Thank you jenna for your loyalty and dedication to our gym. Without you we could not be where we are today
