Vic City STRONG
Some guy named Mat thinks you're awesome
Hey all, what a great showing in the Wed - Thurs wod this week! There were some super impressive numbers across the board, with tons of people hitting PR's in one or more of the challenges.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's amazing what strength improvements can be had even when not lifting to max all the time! A lot of programs over-emphasize maximal lifts (often at the expense of proper technique) but don't perform as well on testing day. This is likely because their athletes are continually breaking down under the strain.
By using most of our skill sessions as "training/foundation" strength work, you are building better efficiency through optimal movement patterns. If we forced you to max out every session, it wouldn't take long for form to take a back seat to getting a heavier lift.
It's really rewarding for us as coaches to see you all progressing so well and adhering to high movement standards. For sure that's partly due to our direction, but a lot of it has to do with your individual attention to proper technique.
Once again, great work and some really impressive numbers! Keep it up.
