Gifts for Crossfitters

What we want and what we need.......two of the same......
Some taken from Crossfit NewEngland

Weightlifting Shoes
What they do for you:

• Increases Ankle ROM (specifically dorisflexion) – allows the athlete to descend deeper into a squat.  If you don’t have amazing ankle flexibility these are for you.  In fact, these are for you even if you do have awesome ankle mobility. The raised heel allows you to hit maximal depth while keeping your whole foot in contact with the floor promoting balance and stability at the bottom of your squat.
• Solid foundation – to create maximal force during your pulls or drives. Don’t lose precious power by driving into the heel of a big spongy running sneaker. Don’t drive off a sponge.  You’re hurting your numbers.  More importantly, you’re hurting my feelings.

Wrist wraps
What they do for you: Offer support for your wrist during pressing or overhead movements.  These have a tendency to be over used. If you are new to lifting you may experience wrist pain until your connective tissue has time to strengthen.  If you are wearing wrist wraps at lower weights your tendons/ligaments will never get stronger.  Use them sparingly.
When do I use this ? Wrist injury
Do I really need this? Only if you have wrist issues
Price: $30-40
My recommendations: Schiek

Woody Bands:  used for stretching, flexibility and assisted muscle ups
Med Balls:  20 and 14lb for use in the garage
Rower:  I need to figure out what I need to fix our current rower
New barn or garage:  It would be awesome to have a new space to outfit and utilize with climbing ropes, but this is hopeful and down the road...SANTA?
