Sufficient range of motion is paramount to successfully lock out a weight overhead.  The picute below demonstates this nicely.  Notice in how Kevin (yellow) has to push his hips forward while Mike's body is lined up directly under the bar.  Because of Ken's tight shoulders he is unable to find the overhead position without sacrificing his structural integrity.  Mike however is able to support the weight directly over his center of mass. 
Draw an imaginary line from the end of each bar straight to the floor.  Mike's line bisects his body, while Ken's hips are pushed in front of the line like a bow.  It's easy to see why Mike's position is safer, stronger and could support greater loads.  


Reminder:  CFNE is Closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the NE Sectionals.
There will not be any Elements Course next week. 
I encourage EVERYONE to make the trip down to
CrossFit Milford to support CFNE and witness one of the best athletic events in the North East.  The event site is 49 Research Drive, Milford, CT.  It can be done in a day trip, ( it's about a 2.25 - 2.5 drive from Natick), but if you want to spend the night we are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn.
