New leg work
We do a lot of leg work. It’s important, and it’s really useful to stimulate them with heavy loads. This often manifests as heavy squats and deadlifts, which are great. But these movements don’t challenge us unilaterally. And we are build do be able to do things with one leg at a time (like say, walking or running). So how do we train strength in this realm? Enter the cossack squat. Here’s a great way to get into our hips in some different angles than we might be used to. And a wonderful way to work out some imbalances we might have.

Community Cooks
Volunteers Wanted!
CrossFit Somerville is a part of Community Cooks, an organization that mobilizes individuals and groups to offer home prepared food to vulnerable neighbors struggling with food insecurity.
Our volunteers rotate on a monthly basis to provide a home cooked meal once a month to the Ruby Rogers Center, a support facility for people in mental health recovery located right in Union Square.
Cook for your neighbors and those in need!
If you would like to volunteer to be a part of the Community Cooks Group email brian@crossfitsomerville.com or talk to one of your coaches. All CrossFit Somerville members and friends and family are welcome to contribute!!
