clean progression work.

Looks like a good strong day there. Nice move to go from GHD to abmat. The GHD doesn't mess around with your back. It comes right after your whole core.

Thanks Patric, it was humbling, I almost tried to push on, walked back to the ghd rack, and stopped myself.

We have been talking about intenisity ect... I have realized that I have been pushing intenisity over form, so i have backed off and am rechecking form(and pretecting my back) till I know I am useing good solid form befor I go harder and heavier, I guess I am re,relearning crossfit.

The way I see it now is the workouts will be there, I need to make sure I will be inshape and good form to do them.
Like yesterdays WOD, I pushed the heck out of the KTE's and ab matt situps, and back ext's, I went as hard as I could, but on the KB swings, I focused on form and solid back.

All of the above makes a lot of sense, I too can put intensity before form far too much, I am made that way, I approach everything like a Bull.

Looking forward to seeing your shoulder numbers today so I have something to aim for tomorrow. Remember to keep that body aligned

Re: Nik
 

I tend to the form over intensity on movements where my lumbar spine can get whacked. This means I sacrifice time substantially on Diane, Elizabeth, and WODs with GHDs (which I don't even do for time at the moment). My objective is to have the core locked in well enough in the next two months that I can really bring it to any WOD for the 6 to 8 weeks leading up to the qualifiers. Until then, however, it's form over speed. Hopefully, that will work for me.

Re: Nik
 

I agree with your method, I am refocusing on form first. Then when i can confidently do a movement I will up the intensity.


In saying that, I started todays wod, got to 135 shoulder press, my back felt it pretty good, so I stoped. That is fine, I will pick it up later.

Awesome job on the workouts man! Looks like your back is doing great!

Yes and know, the KB swings were tough slow and deliberate, I feel it big time today. But if I humble myself and watch the back stuff, I will be good soon.

Re: Nik
 

Well no workout today, I don;t have access to a rower, and I'm not going to sub sumo high pull for rowing and then do sumo high pulls!!:rofl:

I also don't want to put that much stress on my back yet. I hate humbling myself and doing what I should!!:mad:

But I hope to be good for monday!!

Re: Nik
 

It's a good thing you didn't work out. I would have been upset! I slacked off all weekend, except for the car work.
