Comments on Technique vs. Intensity
Chuck,
You are a legend amongst all CF trainers and Flow Masters. Watching you and your mastery of CF methodology, hearing the slight baritone voice of a preacher and the kindness inherent to you never gets old. Keep up the fantastic work!
At first, there seems to be a tension or conflict between speed and technique. Later, as both improve, you come to realize that as technique is refined accuracy and precision of movement create an efficiency that is essential to best performance.
This is readily apparent watching our Games where the technique improves with each heat. The faster athletes moving better allows them to be faster.
Improved accuracy and precision of movement drive efficacy and efficiency of effort that measure as more work and average power.
And Charles is amazing.
First of all, amen to that! Technique vs Intensity is awesome! Second Chuck is the best tutor ever! #chuckisthebest
