    Muscles are sheathed in connective tissue that encase the entire muscle belly continuously with the tendons, and layers with in the belly surrounding both fascicles and individual muscle fibers. These fascial sheets can develop scar tissue and other irregularities that disrupt the smooth movement of the muscle internally and in relation to surrounding structures. This disruption can cause anything from chronic pain to injury. Like deep-tissue massage, foam-rolling and similar myofascial release techniques can break up the adhesions with the connective tissue and promote improved function and a reduction in injury risk. — Greg Everett, Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes and Coaches

because of the brave

I found the following well expressed testimonial on the CrossFit “mainpage” comments for yesterday (comments posted in response to the Workout Of The Day; for the most part, where people post their results in doing the WOD.) We see testimonials like this every single day; this one is nicely put and I decided to pass it on.

Hang Power Snatch during a workout of 5 rounds of 400 meter run and 15 hang power snatches (each round) at 95 pounds. The Snatch is a jump, a violent extension upward pulling a barbell --- still, essentially, a jump.

New to Crossfit. Been doing the WOD’s and other modified workouts for about four weeks. Former ‘weight lifter’/trainer idiot who is thankful that I’ve run across such a dynamic, functional and most important - hardcore program. I feel like what I’ve done as a high school coach, athlete, and trainer up until now was all less than perfect, if not useless. What an incredible system and amazing website. Thanks, I’m indebted to all the people who have anything to do with the site.

P.S. As a former Navy special security forces unit squad leader, THANK YOU for your commemoration to those fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Let’s never forget that we are the land of the free BECAUSE of the brave.
