Death by lunges and burpees.

I want to get better at _____.

If you want to get better at something, you have to practice, practice, and practice some more. This is one of those topics that has been said a hundred times already, but could be said a hundred times more and still be under-appreciated. It is the topic of doing your homework in order to see results. We are in a fortunate position, where we get to see a lot of athletes perform a lot of different exercises.  One thing we know for sure,  if you want to get better at _____________, you are going to have to do more of it. Our experience has shown us that those who are patient and persistent will be rewarded.

For movements that you have already achieved, but are aiming to master, decrease the weight/intensity and focus on the technique. But, whatever you do, spend more time on it! For movements that you have not yet accomplished, spend more time in the position that you want to achieve. For example, if you want that first muscle up, you could go attempt after attempt until your head turns blue (bad idea), or you could work on support position, the low dip, and incline muscle up rows. But whatever you do, spend more time in that position. The pullup, spend time above the bar. The handstand pushups, spend time upside down. The list goes on.

The point of this post is to restate what we already have learned from CrossFit: if it were easy, everyone would be doing it. It is not easy. It does take work. But, every second of work is worth the reward when you accomplish that first. Next time you finish the workout, head over the wall and do a couple handstands, or hit the rings and work on your false grip, or work like it's a make lift in your air squat. Trust us, it will be worth it.
