Mechanics, Consistency, then Intensity

This quest for fitness, is not a walk in the park! Ask anyone who has done a WOD. Although we suffer and put ourselves in uncomfortable situations every day we workout, it makes us better, phsyically and mentally. But all the intensity comes after we learn the movements.

I know learning new excercises can be tiring and very boring at times, but you guys have to engrain these movements into your head. As we go on and start to add  more weight and go more intense with these workouts, you MUST have good form.

It is guaranteed your  form will degrade as you get tired throughout the workout, but you need to be aware of your own body. A good lumbar curve, no relaxing at the bottom of a squat, and driving through the heels. You should be conscious about all these key components as we move along to bigger and better things. Everything builds off of the squat. Even in life, just getting off of the couch or to grab something under the sink. So get it right and get it tight.

Our CrossFit Motto as far as form is as follows, Mechanics which is learning the movement and how to move your body the most efficient way possible, then consistency, showing good form throughout a whole workout, and last but not least intensity, going hard and going fast. Notice that intensity is last, and it is last for a reason.

Without the proper mechanics it will be very tough to move on to bigger and better things.
