Listen "Linchpin Conversations #66"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode we discuss how I made poor decisions during my early years of CrossFit regarding poor form and prioritizing getting a fast time. I use some workouts involving overhead squats to illustrate the point of attempting to move both well and quickly. However, when shoulder position goes from external rotation to internal rotation, the wise choice is to drop the barbell and recover...even though the clock keeps ticking. Poor movement is not CrossFit's fault, it is our own fault. Every time you begin a workout, you have decisions to make and items to prioritize. The smart, long term strategy should be to prioritize "how" you move, not "how fast you move". Mechanics, consistency and intensity is the established protocol for a reason...it's smart and it works. The choice is up to you.
