I have made this mistake in the past, training for volume rather than intensity. <BR/><BR/>Just today I had to tell a guy who trains 3 times a day yet just has a 10 minute Fran that he needs to focus on intensity, not volume.<BR/><BR/>Large group Crossfit classes tend to be guilty of this mentality the most.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, I see a bias towards less fundamental movements in large group Crossfit classes. You will see a lot of ball slams, burpees, swings, etc. and not a whole lot of exercises like squat cleans that require more time to learn.<BR/><BR/>Burpees and ball slams and such are good exercises, but when compared to say, pullups, squats, and clean and jerks, they are not nearly as fundamental to effective programming.Russ Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.com
