Wednesday 9/1

Chippers, or long list workouts, are mini-tests in muscular stamina and technique:

MUSCULAR STAMINA: if your muscles burn out you may fail a rep and we know how that can set the mood incorrectly. Being smarter and planning your sets (10-10-5-5-5-5-10), staying consistent with rest time, make for moving faster through big sets.

TECHNIQUE: the lack of connectivity between your execution and the movement standard can be night and day in terms of your workout results. Watch the CrossFit Games athletes of yesteryear who were pure workhorses. Tons of “bad” technique in terms of today’s training, but they finished the workouts as written. Contrast that with CrossFit Games athletes this past summer and you’ll see a drastic difference in solid movement execution.
