Fuzz

Why move, why stretch and why roll out muscles?  Its all about the fuzz.

If you dare, watch Gil Hedley, Ph.D. Anatomy Rockstar gives "The Fuzz Speech."

Warning:  Video examples are of human cadavers. You'll actually see the fuzz!

Intensity


The 5:15 crew on "Elizabeth"


Intensity is powerful stuff.; big loads, shorter times.  It belongs in it's place, though.


Here's the progression for new movements and workouts.

  • Form
  • Consistency
  • Intensity

So remember to get it right, then repeatably right, then go harder.


Intensity is the quickest path to the good stuff: getting stonger and faster.  You need consistent form, for safety and best gains. Makes sense, I think.


Also realize that you may not be ready to go all out every time.  Let one of us know if you need to go easy; we can work with you.  Here's a quote from 'garddawg' I see from one of the post signatures over at CrossfitBrandX.com:

The point of CF is to get better at life.  Being unable to workout tomorrow because you were pigheaded today is not in line with our goals.
