Tweak

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Can you believe we're already starting the last week of January?  Just yesterday we were celebrating the new year.  The fact that time will pass regardless of what we do is another reason, in my opinion, to take the time to slow down and invest in skills.  It's OK, occasionally, to back off on a weight to make sure your form is correct.  It's definitely a good idea to take some time after a workout to add a little weight to a bar and work on something like, for example, your snatch technique, or even part of it.  When's the last time you worked on making your first pull a little better?  What about your muscle up technique from a low set of rings?  Since fitness is a life-long pursuit, and you'll be working on it for that long to get better and better, working on your weaknesses will make you more complete in the long run.  Who wants to get 10 years down the road and ONLY have a little more cardio endurance or ONLY have a little more strength to show for it.  Continuing to work to improve something you're already strong at will be the bottleneck that keeps your total and complete conditioning from flowing freely.

Travis and I did this wod at 6:00 this morning, and we weren't sleep walking. Ring push-ups early in the morning are a great way to wake up! Finished in 9:35.
