CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 54 CONCEPT REVIEW
GUIDE 2026 SAFETY SCALING AND INJURY
PREVENTION STRATEGIES
◉ seeing. Answer: the ability to discern good from poor movement
mechanics and identify both gross and subtle faults whether the
athlete is in motion or static
◉ static faults. Answer: the points in which an athlete is not moving.
usually occur near the end ranges of motion, either starting,
receiving or finishing a movement
◉ dynamic faults. Answer: where the athlete is moving bt the static
positions, often at high speed. ex: not reaching full hip extension,
pressing early or initiating the squat with the knees
◉ correcting. Answer: ability to facilitate better mechanics for an
athlete using visual, verbal and or tactile. this includes prioritizing
faults in order of importance.
◉ cues. Answer: this results in improved movement mechanics
, ◉ primary function of a cue. Answer: to help an athlete execute
perfect mechanics not to perfectly describe the mechanics of the
movement
◉ 3 step process for cues. Answer: 1. identify the fault. 2. identify
what is out of place and be specific naming the body part. 3. give
direction for that body part
◉ verbal cues. Answer: tell the athlete specific instructions
◉ visual cues. Answer: create contrasting images bt current and
desired positioning
◉ tactile cues. Answer: use physical targets to achieve proper
mechanics
◉ after a cue is delivered. Answer: stay with the athlete for another
rep and provide feedback no matter what
