Excellent Exercises to Build Overhead Stability for CrossFit Athletes

BARBELL SIDE BENDS

“Finishing a good session with some accessory work: 100 unbroken side bends. This made me sore for three days. The Chinese weightlifters use side bend variations to improve the stability of the split jerk. The split position is much more demanding for your lateral stability and balance than a parallel foot position which can make this kind of work beneficial.” Erik Lau Kelner
