Crossfit Fundamental Movements & Techniques 3

Question 1

When coaching the pull-up, which of the following describes a strict (non-kipping) pull-up starting position?

Accepted Answer

Full dead hang with arms completely extended and shoulders active

Answer

A strict pull-up begins from a full dead hang with arms fully extended and shoulders actively engaged (not passively hanging), ensuring full range of motion.

Question 2

Which movement pattern is the push press most similar to, and what distinguishes it from a strict press?

Accepted Answer

Similar to the strict press; distinguished by the use of a slight hip dip and leg drive

Answer

The push press uses a brief knee dip (dip-drive) to generate leg power that assists pressing the bar overhead, unlike the strict press which uses only upper-body strength.

Question 3

An athlete performing box jumps consistently lands with soft, bent knees and immediately collapses at the hips. What is the primary coaching correction?

Accepted Answer

Instruct the athlete to land softly but then stand fully upright to complete the rep

Answer

Full hip and knee extension while standing upright on the box is the standard of completion for a box jump; landing and collapsing does not meet the movement standard.

Question 4

In a front squat, what is the correct position of the elbows relative to the bar and the floor?

Accepted Answer

Elbows elevated and parallel to the floor, driven forward in the front rack

Answer

In the front rack position for a front squat, the elbows must be driven up and forward (parallel to the floor) to keep the bar on the shoulders and the torso upright.

Question 5

Which of the following is a common fault in the overhead squat that indicates insufficient thoracic mobility?

Accepted Answer

The bar drifts forward in front of the body as the athlete descends

Answer

Limited thoracic extension causes the torso to fold forward in the overhead squat, which makes the barbell drift forward and out of the athlete's midline.
