Crossfit The Nine Foundational Movements 3

Question 1

What cue best describes the desired torso angle during the front squat?

Accepted Answer

Torso remains as upright as possible

Answer

The front squat demands a very upright torso because the bar resting on the shoulders will fall forward if the chest drops.

Question 2

Which movement in the nine foundational movements has the widest stance?

Accepted Answer

Sumo deadlift high pull

Answer

The sumo deadlift high pull uses a wide stance with feet outside shoulder width and toes turned out significantly.

Question 3

In the push jerk, after the aggressive drive phase, what should the athlete do with their feet?

Accepted Answer

Jump feet slightly out to a wider stance and lock out under the bar

Answer

The push jerk includes a small foot repositioning to a slightly wider athletic stance as the athlete receives the bar overhead.

Question 4

What is the correct hand position (grip width) for the shoulder press?

Accepted Answer

Hands just outside shoulder width

Answer

A grip just outside shoulder width keeps the elbows in a strong pressing position below and slightly in front of the bar.

Question 5

At the top of the air squat, what constitutes full hip extension?

Accepted Answer

Hips and knees fully locked out, standing tall

Answer

Full hip extension in CrossFit means hips and knees are completely open and the athlete is standing upright.
