070612 – Fundamentals.
5 Rounds for time:
Samson Stretch 30s each side
15 PVC Overhead Squats
15 Situps
15 Good Mornings
15 Pullups
15 Ring Dips
Perfect form is a must. If an exercise is not yet mastered, then an intelligent substitution must be made, e.g. jumping dips for dips or body rows for pullups. Sacrificing form for speed will be penalized.
“What will inevitably doom a physical training program and dilute a coach‚Äôs
efficacy is a lack of commitment to fundamentals. We see this increasingly
in both programming and supervising execution. Rarely now do we see
prescribed the short, intense couplets or triplets that epitomize CrossFit
programming. Rarely do trainers really nitpick the mechanics of fundamental
movements.
I understand how this occurs. It is natural to want to teach people
advanced and fancy movements. The urge to quickly move away from the
basics and toward advanced movements arises out of the natural desire to
entertain your client and impress him with your skills and knowledge.
But make no mistake: it is a sucker’s move. Teaching a snatch where there
is not yet an overhead squat, teaching an overhead squat where there is not
yet an air squat, is a colossal mistake. This rush to advancement increases the
chance of injury, delays advancement and progress, and blunts the client’s
rate of return on his efforts. In short, it retards his fitness.” Coach Greg Glassman
