So,
there has been lots of speculation about why there have been so many Pectoral
tears at CrossFit Regionals.
Having
just been part of Athletes Services at Meridian Regionals our main aim was to
reduce Pectoral tears.
The Men
seemed to be getting the tears and not the women.
The
exercise in question was Kipping Ring Dips.
Julien
Pineu is a CrossFit Coach at CrossFit Invictus (He also does Strongman)
but he
knows a thing or two about Training and discusses the differences between
Athletes in the Americas and in Europe.
Julien talks
about two factors:
Homeostasis and
Hormesis
Hormesis is
favourable response to stress.
Homeostasis is
the body seeking to gain balance.
"All the
programs out there are based on hormesis; how am I going to create the right
amount of stress to elicit the response that I want.
Most athletes
develop problems because they focus on programmes that give them results in a
specific areas, but longer term it will always lead to injuries, or at least
getting stuck because they don’t take into account evolution and how the body
actually works.
So the problem
is more the way that the athlete looks at training, rather than the training
itself.
Secondary to
this, for CrossFit specifically, the main problem I see is latissimus Dorsi and
Hamstrings.
The certain
planes of movement that CrossFit tends to work within, lead athletes toward
imbalances in these areas."
