Crossfit Syosset/ Tuesday, July 17th

I know the Rx weight seems enticing but it is only there for people to know what weight to not go over.
Because it’s on the board does not mean that You have to do it.
As a matter of fact I would try and push you not to do it unless the Rx weight does not interfere with you technique or form one bit.
The weight doesn’t really matter, the workouts are potent enough to use light weight and move faster that they will be just as productive without heavy weights that are uncontrollable.
If you’re unsure of this try it, try using a lighter weight than what you normally would use and move faster and see if you feel different.

Everyone that has done this has seen and realized that light weights are just as effective if not more than heavy weights.

Crossfit Syosset/ Monday, July 16th

Please when you drop the barbells (with weight on them of course ) guide the bar down with your hands as to make sure the bar does not jump into someones leg and shatter their ankle.
It is a simple thing to do to avoid a major accident.
When you drop the bar from overhead just turn your palms down towards the ground and use your hands to keep the bar in place.

I know you are trying to get the workout done fast but believe me I don’t think you’ll lose much time taking your time to assure the bars hit the ground and stay down.
Thanks

6 x 3
3 Reps every 75 seconds

What’s More important, Completing the workout quickly with no regard for technique or form?  Only focusing on the clock and how fast you can get done even if it means flirting with injury?
This should be an easy to answer question yet for some reason this way of thinking seems to make it’s way through the gym like a wildfire.
You would think that this would never happen but it does way too often.
Focusing on technique and form should always be numero uno, don’t worry about the weight you’re doing or worrying about how fast you’re going.  Focus purely on how well you do the movements and your posture as to avoid injury.
Move at a speed that you can handle and a weight that you are able to lift without sacrificing form.
