Scapulas over the bar

Cleaning up

Danielle's first day of cleans--rocking the setup position!

Overhead sit-up

Hard work for the trunk and shoulder girdle.

L-sit

The L-sit, done here on parallettes, is wonderful for developing strength and control in the abdominals and hip flexors.

100 pounds of fun, lifted from the ground to the shoulder "anyhow."
