The sky is blue
The grass is Green
Pushups are chest to ground and full lockout at the top
Pullups are full extension of arms at the bottom and chin over bar
Squats are below parallel and no hip flexion at the top
Wall Balls - below parallel and ball hits 10’ line
These are ALL FACTS. There is no being wishy-washy about any of these things….
Chest didn’t hit ground? No rep.
Chin didn’t get over bar? No rep.
Didn’t get below parallel? No rep.
Ball didn’t hit skull? No rep.
The trainers will explain EXACTLY how we want to see movement and what the modifications are if you aren’t quite able to do movement on your own yet….don’t do it the way demonstrated….NO REP!!!!
It is very easy to get caught up in time - DON’T! Your time means nothing if it was ill gotten….only legitimate reps count to get you to the finish.
Some gyms are super strict on Range of Motion (ROM) and some don’t care as much. Which gym do you think produces better athletes and has less injury?
What do you think? Are you guilty of bad reps? Do you notice those that are guilty of bad reps on a consistent basis?

I won’t speak for anyone else, but in the heat of the battle
some of my reps may be subpar. It is never my intention to
cheat on my WOD count or time. I try to do as many reps as I
can in rhythym. If I am singled out for my form, I try the
adjustments necessary to improve. I might scowl at the time,
but I don’t take it personal. And please, don’t you either. I train at CFWG to force myself to improve toward my fitness
goals. Thus, I want to know when I do bad because I want all
I can get out of what I force my body to do. Thank you CFWG for being that place that will single me out if I need it.
Yeay for being tough to make us tougher. I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and working on my technique rather than time!
Becca! We miss you!! Hope you’re having fun! See you soon!
Marc - you rock! I love your scowl! Bring it!
