Intensity and technique aren’t opposites.
One of the things we talk about in CrossFit is the relationship between mechanics, consistency, and intensity.
It’s easy to think that good technique means moving slowly and carefully, while intensity means going as hard as possible. But that’s not really it.
Good technique is what allows you to apply intensity safely and effectively.
As a workout gets harder, your breathing changes, fatigue sets in, and your movement might not look quite as perfect as it did on rep one. That’s normal.
The goal isn’t to eliminate those changes. The goal is to develop enough skill and awareness that you can push the intensity without losing the fundamental mechanics of the movement.
That’s one of the reasons we coach.
We’re not just counting reps. We’re helping you learn how to move well - and then gradually learn how to move well when things get hard.
That’s where fitness gets really interesting.
