This is a collection of my thoughts and observations that I've made throughout my CrossFitting career. With the growing popularity of CrossFit, new boxes are springing up everywhere but the quality of coaching is still lagging behind. This can be easily fixed by actively discussing various topics that will help improve the quality of our coaching. The goal is to improve your understanding of human movement so that you can better coach any athlete that walks through your doors.
Due to weather I couldn't make it to the gym today, so I did a CF Endurance WOD at home on the treadmill.
25min hill climb @ 6% grade 6mph for first 16min 5.0-5.5mph for the remaining 9min
Really focused on the Pose technique. The music helped keep rhythm, but as I tired it became harder to maintain. I need to work on picking the feet up into the Pose rather than pushing the ground away. I really felt this in the quads especially after yesterday's back squats. Tried to hang on as long as I could at 6mph, but my form started breaking down so I reduced the speed to maintain form. I figured it was better to keep good form than it was to go balls to the wall with terrible form--that's how bad habits form.
