More Dumbbells
Hey Vic City,
Dumbbells aren't the most common object in a CrossFit gym or benchmark WODs, but if you haven't noticed, the collection at Vic City seems to be increasing, and almost daily. It started when Dave Castro announced the need for them, for the Open this year. From there, all Regional athletes will be tested on them, with an array of movements, so they need to become familiar with them, and in a hurry.
If you think barbell overhead squats are challenging, wait until you try a single arm overhead squat with a dumbbell. It tests not only strength and stability, but mobility in every joint imaginable with little places to create shoulder tension like you can with a barbell. If you watched the Regional competition this past weekend, you may have seen poor mobility cost individual athletes or teams a spot to the CrossFit Games. With our expanding dumbbell selection, CrossFit Vic City is giving athletes the resources needed to best train for competition and for general fitness.
Watch this short clip of Greg Glassman, posted back in January of 2016, explaining how dumbbells can be useful in training.
Cheers,
Adam
