REMEMBER: FORM, FORM, FORM! We never sacrifice form for intensity. Form is more important then getting a fast time or a PR on a lift. If you are doing a wod and get a great time, but your form sucks, you are not doing the wod as Rx. If you are doing a heavy lift and your form sucks, you will not get a PR. More importantly, if your form sucks, you are cheating yourself from getting the full benefit from the movement and you’re at risk for getting hurt.
The trainer’s will not be putting “Rx” by your name and time if you slacked on your form. Some of the trainer’s put parenthesis around your time, meaning your form was not good. We will not add weight to your lifts, if your form is not looking good. We way rather see a 15 min Fran time with good form, then a sub 5 min Fran time with poor form.
As your intensity increases, your form will wane somewhat, it’s inevitable. But your form should still be at 80%. 20% of the time your squat may not have been low enough, or your chest wasn’t quite touching the ground. We as trainers recognize this. We want you to get the most out of the movements we teach you. Remember: Good form will keep you from getting hurt, and will get you the results you want.
