🔥 Push Press Power 🔥

The push press is more than just pressing weight overhead—
it’s about speed, power, and full-body strength. 💥

✅ Builds explosive drive from the legs
✅ Strengthens shoulders & core
✅ Transfers directly to sport & real life

At CrossFit Sarasota, we don’t just lift—we train movements that make you more capable in and out of the gym.

💪 Strong legs + strong shoulders = unstoppable athletes.

👉 Who else loves that feeling of locking out heavy weight overhead?

“Why are we squatting to such a low box?” 🤔

Because learning what below parallel actually feels like is a game-changer.
⠀
Here’s why we sometimes use boxes set just below parallel in class:
⬇️ It gives you a clear target for depth
🧠 It helps your body memorize proper squat mechanics
⚖️ It teaches control—not just strength
📐 It builds confidence in positions you may normally avoid

Too often, people think they’re below parallel… but they’re not quite there.
The box gives you feedback—and feedback builds better movers. 💥

Whether you’re new to squatting or just working on consistency, this tool helps you feel it, fix it, and own it.
⠀
Want to improve your squat? Come train with us. We’ll break it down and build it up.

🏋️‍♀️ Weightlifting: Strong, Not “Bulky”

One of the biggest myths in fitness? 👉 “Lifting weights will make me bulky.”

The truth is, weightlifting won’t turn you into a bodybuilder overnight. What it will do is make you:

✅ Stronger – Building muscle gives you the power to move better in and out of the gym.
✅ Lean & athletic – Lifting boosts metabolism and helps you burn fat long after the workout is over.
✅ More capable in daily life – From carrying groceries to chasing your kids, strength makes everything easier.
✅ Resilient & injury-proof – Strong muscles protect your joints and keep you moving for the long haul.

At CrossFit Sarasota, we don’t lift to get “bulky.” We lift to become more capable humans. To run faster, jump higher, live pain-free, and keep doing the things we love for decades.

💡 Remember: strength isn’t about size. It’s about freedom.

👉 Tag a friend who’s still afraid of the barbell and let’s change their mind.

💪 Why Single-Leg Strength Matters in Your Training

When was the last time you trained one leg at a time? 🦵✨

Most of life (and sport!) happens on one leg — running, jumping, changing direction, even climbing stairs. Building single-leg strength isn’t just about performance, it’s about balance, stability, and longevity.

✅ Improves balance & coordination – Strengthens stabilizers you don’t hit in bilateral lifts.
✅ Fixes imbalances – Identifies and corrects one-sided weaknesses.
✅ Boosts power – Essential for explosive movements like sprints and jumps.
✅ Protects your joints – Strong single-leg patterns reduce injury risk.

That’s why movements like step-ups, lunges, and pistol squats are staples at CrossFit Sarasota. They don’t just make you stronger—they make you more athletic, more resilient, and ready for real life.

🔥 Strong legs = strong foundation. Don’t skip your single-leg work.

Sunday we rest. Enjoy a view of the mountains🗻 Sunday = Rest + Adventure

Rest days aren’t just about sitting still—they’re about using your fitness outside the gym. 💪✨

For some that may mean climbing a glaciated mountain (yes, ropes, crampons, and all 🧗‍♂️❄️). That kind of adventure isn’t possible without a strong body, resilient lungs, and the confidence built from training consistently.

That’s the point of CrossFit: not just to PR in the gym, but to create a life where your fitness takes you to the places you want to go. That may be to the top of a mountain or simply to play with your grand kids. Either way CrossFit can get you there.

So today, take it easy, recharge, and remember—every squat, every jump, every push-up is preparing you for something bigger outside these walls.

🔥 Train hard. Rest well. Live boldly.

🙅‍♂️ “Don’t Lift Overhead”? That’s Crazy.

Think about it—you reach overhead every day. Putting luggage in the bin, grabbing something from a shelf, playing with your kids. If you avoid training overhead, you’re not protecting yourself…you’re leaving yourself weaker and more vulnerable.

Here’s why lifting overhead is essential:

✅ Stronger Shoulders & Upper Back – Builds bulletproof strength in muscles that keep your posture tall and joints healthy.
✅ Core Engagement – Every overhead press or sn**ch forces your midline to stabilize. It’s not just a shoulder exercise—it’s a full-body one.
✅ Mobility & Longevity – Training overhead safely improves range of motion, making you move better in and out of the gym.
✅ Performance Carryover – From Olympic lifts to daily tasks, overhead strength is the foundation for power and resilience.

At CrossFit Sarasota, we don’t avoid movement—we train it the right way. Safe progressions, smart scaling, and proper coaching turn “overhead” from scary ➝ to strong.

🔥 If you want to keep moving well for life, overhead lifting isn’t optional—it’s necessary.

🟦 Why Jumping Matters

Jumping isn’t just for kids on the playground—it’s one of the most powerful tools in your fitness toolbox. 🚀

Box jumps, broad jumps, and even simple hops train your body in ways heavy lifting can’t:

✅ Explosive Power – Jumping develops fast-twitch muscle fibers, making you quicker and more athletic.
✅ Strong Bones & Joints – The impact builds bone density and teaches your body to absorb and produce force safely.
✅ Better Carryover – From Olympic lifts to sprinting, explosive strength translates directly into better performance.
✅ Real-World Resilience – Whether it’s jumping to catch yourself on a trail or powering up stairs, jumping keeps you functional for life.

At CrossFit Sarasota, when you see box jumps programmed, it’s not “just cardio.” It’s training your body to be powerful, agile, and ready for anything.

🔥 Pro tip: Focus on a soft, controlled landing—quiet feet = strong mechanics.
