CrossFit Bako - Doing the common, uncommonly well?


We need to get back to basics. I've been seeing poor form around the gym lately. And it's our (your trainers) fault. We need to hammer the basics! Full range of motion every rep! Cheating the movement is cheating progress. Mechanics, Consistency, then Intensity. That's how it's going to be from now on. Some of you will have to lower the weight you're using and slow down the reps to get perfect form, and that's okay! Fitness is a long game. Strength and flexibility will benefit you for the rest of your life. Doing a movement with a heavy weight and shi**y form only benefits a persons ego. And as we say, this is CrossFit, check your ego at the door!

Now on to today's WOD:

Front Squat
3-3-3-3-3
Rest 2-5min.
Then
AMRAP 12min.
7 Hand Stand Push Ups
7 Pull Ups

Scalings are elevated or pike push ups, kipping or jumping pull ups.
