Great tool for analyzing CrossFit movement
Blast has helped me analyze my olympic lifting movements at a precise level. It helps me understand day to day, where my jump acceleration or vertical height may be, so that I can better judge how well each lift was executed. The video capture is terrific for allowing me to visually see if I am reaching extension, and identify problem areas in my technique. Blast has helped me learn more about my athletic habits and patterns. For example, I can identify if I have recovered properly, with a vertical height test as soon as I get to the gym. In CrossFit, we are always moving from one area to another, so it can be hard in a given workout to capture every movement on video. Anyone who has done the Open knows how much help you need with video! Battery life is a non-issue with blast, just make sure that you're charging between sessions to be on the safe side. The wireless charger is pretty convenient for that. Quick tip: if you're having trouble getting the sensor in and out d the clip, just put it on backwards so that it can charge without taking it out. There's a number of uses for blast in a CrossFit box. Our hips play such an important role in exercises like Handstand Push Ups, Oly Lifts, Pull Ups, Box Jumps, the list goes on. If you use blast as a tool for analyzing movement patterns its sure to help you improve!
