Open 20.2 – Warmup & Mobility Guide
Strategy, Warmup, Mobility & Workout Prep Everything you need to finish strong in 20.2: 1. Strategy & Equipment: Maintaining a consistent pace is the key bossing a 20 min AMRAP.

Crossfit Rotator Cuff Rehab
“So I’ve just finished a 2 month trial of the supplement called GLC2000 which aims to improve the health of joints and connective tissues.

Quite simply, this stuff has done an excellent job. I can’t observe that I’m ‘not ... read more
Damien St Ledger – KBT Education Senior Educator
Dealing with chronic knee issues I’ve always struggled with my knees, I’d tried every supplement and treatment out there. When I first heard of GLC2000 I just thought it was an overpriced glucosamine that was well advertised and marketed. Eventually my training got to the stage where I couldn’t lift much more than 50% – and it was holding me back. So I ‘bit the bullet’ and bought my first tub of GLC2000. “if you think this stuff is ‘just ... read more
Open 18.5 Mobility Guide – Improve Thoracic Mobility & Decrease Hip Tightness
Open Workout Déjà vu If you’ve been doing Crossfit as long as we have you probably have mixed feelings about the announcement of Crossfit Open Workout 18.5. “Who votes for thrusters anyway?!?!” On the plus side it gives you a chance to prove you are fitter than you were in 2011 & 2012.

Alex Clarke – Stubborn Wrist Injury
In the Summer of 2014 I injured my wrist catching a heavy clean. It slipped off my shoulder and bent my wrist at a very awkward angle. As a full time coach this did more than affect my training, it meant I struggled to demo even the most basic of movements. Push ups hurt, overhead squats were painful, and presses even with an empty barbell were out of the question. “I was really impressed in how quickly my range of ... read more
Lee Howe – Labrum Tear Recovery
Recovering from Shoulder surgery 2x as fast with GLC2000 Over the years the left side of my upper body has been battered through competing in Crossfit. Back in 2010 I lost a heavy kettlebell snatch behind me and refused to drop the ‘bell. This caused me to dislocate my left shoulder. My shoulder got popped back in and I rested it. Gradually it improved, and I began training again. I wasn’t aware that I had torn my labrum as my ... read more

Mobility to Reduce Your Fatigue During High Rep Double Unders & Thrusters Open workout 17.5 brings together a couplet of 2 classic Crossfit movements. It’s no surprise to see either of these movements, but the rep scheme is a little unusual.

Better Movement From ... read more

Ryan Wells
Dealing with ‘Golfer’s Elbow’ I’d been struggling with ‘golfers’ elbow for around 4 months before I started using GLC2000. The soreness was brought on by any high rep work with movements like CTB pull-ups, rope climbs or muscle ups. When the tendinitis flared up I would struggle to train for the next few days. Even without a flare up there was a dull ache on the inner crease of my elbow. After 10 day of using GLC2000 I’d not get ... read more
