Often at CrossFit H.E.L. we come in, complete the WODs and leave. However many of the movements we use in CrossFit involve complex neuromuscular programming (called 'engrams') which require many slow repetitions and careful attention to mechanics in order to master completely. This sort of training is something that must occur outside of the WOD and away from the stopwatch. John Frieh, one of our top athletes, is currently working towards a true, unassisted handstand push-up. I see him working on it during every free moment of his day: at home, at work, during meetings(!), and of course at HEL. With this sort of dedication surely any of us could attain that elusive prize.
What are your CrossFit goals? A muscle-up? Double-unders? A hands-free rope climb? Whatever they may be, we hope that you will bring your goals along with your best 'A' game to the Lab this week. Any workout time beyond the WODs will be used practice and hone those skills that may be eluding you and keeping you from moving to the next level.
Train your weakness, that it may become your strength.
