CrossFit Koncepts

Every technique we do is a "Work In Progress".  I don't care if it's your 10,000th push-up or your 10th Jerk - you should be approaching it from a "learning" as opposed to a "knowing" perspective.  For as many KB Snatches that I've done in the last 10+ years I'm still learning from the movement and refining my technique... and we're talking about thousands upon thousands of repetitions.

The same holds true for techniques like the Olympic Clean.  It's an amazingly simple, but not easy technique to perform.  It's going to take a lot of reps, think thousands, and a lot of weight from the ground to the rack, think hundreds of thousands, before you can pull it off smoothly and cleanly every time.  With those kind of numbers in mind don't you think you need to get started - now??!!??

Following are two videos we shot early this Summer.  One is of William Brown working on the Clean with various weights. The other one is of Mike Krivka doing the same.  Take a few minutes to look at both of their techniques and see what they are both doing right and wrong! :)
