We are so grateful to Christlin for walking through our doors. Her soul is sweet and she is never afraid to give you her most authentic self. This boho beauty packs a punch and even when life throws its worst at her she manages to overcome the obstacles and come out on top. In the gym, she's everyone's motivator and if you're lucky enough to be her partner, she'll bring out the best in you and give you that push you need. Thank you for your honesty, hard work, friendship, and dedication. You're the spice we need at 5am and we appreciate all that is you. Congrats on being this week's feature! .

•3 Words that describe you the best are:
Strong, Compassionate, & Brave.
.
. •What are you most passionate about?
Motherhood. Being a a mother surpasses all of my greatest accomplishments. I dreamed of being a mother most of my life & I thank God daily for blessing me with my family. Shout out to my man, Chato, for teaming up with me on this one! .
. •If you could have dinner with 3 people dead or alive who would they be and why? Both of my grandmothers in heaven is all I can think of right now. I’d voice record the whole conversation and ask them as many questions as possible. Maybe throw in a few jokes to hear their laughs again. .
. •What is your favorite quote to live by?
Can’t think of a quote that I really love but I do have a scripture. “Walk by faith not by sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7 ❤️

•What do you like most about being a part of the Bedlam fam?
Bedlam has become a place of connection, reassurance and love for me. Being able to sweat here is just a plus. The moment I walked into the gym I was welcomed with warm hugs from strangers, dope ass music & this feel good vibe that everyone knows if you’ve ever stepped into Bedlam. I’ve made authentic, life long friendships here and you guys make me feel strong in every way possible. .

The Open has a twisted way of lighting that competitive spark within you.
_
During 20.3 @tara_a12 set a goal of getting at least 1 HSPU RX.
Leading up to the Open, she has worked her tail off to get stronger.
She can do strict box HSPU like a champ and has begun to incorporate wall negatives and progress in the skill.
_
During her heat last Friday she smoothly got through the deadlifts at #155 and made her way towards the wall.
_
With a deep breath, support from her judge and husband watching by her side, and confidence, she kicked up onto the wall and did her thing.
_
She got it. The rep she was hoping for, happened.
It wasn’t because of luck. It was because of everything she had done before that day and the belief in herself to try that did.
_
Way to go Tara!
Beleive In yourself enough to try because that just might be the thing you need to get you what you want.

This standard is no joke! Practice practice practice and don’t waste energy on unnecessary attempts.
Good luck on 20.3!Posted @withrepost • @bedlamcrossfit 💥KIPPING HSPU💥
.
.
1st Video: How to Execute
Once you have developed the required strength for this more dynamic inverted press (HS holding, BOX HSPU) then you are ready to kip! 🔻Kick Up into a handstand on the wall
🔻Lower carefully into a tripod position. Top of head, and hands must be firm on the ground. 🔻Maintain elbows at a 90 in front of head to establish a strong, and stable pushing position.
🔻Lower legs by bringing knees as close to elbows as much as possible, rounding the back and maintaining contact if needed. 🔻Agreesively drive legs upward and extend the hips. When you feel weightless push to lock out.
Do not drive legs and push at the same time or you’ll go nowhere. Legs/hips, then push.
Squeeze core and butt while pressing the ground away. .
.
2nd video: Kipping through knees vs. Kipping through Hip.
🔸Knees: shorter range of motion allows for faster cycling through reps. More demanding of the shoulder. Strength definitely required. Better for smaller rep ranges. 🔸Hips: longer range of motion means slower cycling rate but loads the hips for a stronger kip. Less upper body is used which allows for bigger sets. Beginner kippers start here. .
