YASSSSSS preach it girl 🙌🏼Rest assured that plenty of strict work is taught inside the four walls of a Crossfit gym like Holly said and that our gymnastics moves are strategically implemented not only for cardio purposes but for efficiency purposes as well. Efficiency = more work over less time. #nogainslost #stopthemisconceptions ・・・ #Repost @hollybuilds (@get_repost) ・・・ There is a big misconception that people that do CrossFit “cheat” their movements. I hear it all the time- “oh, you own a CrossFit. I don’t do it because I don’t want to lose my gains” 😂 “you guys cheat your pull ups”. What most people don’t understand is that strict work is the foundation of any good CrossFit program and the “cheated” reps are not that at all. They are gymnastics based movements using Kipping and butterfly movements. While you can still build muscle doing them that way- those movements are used for conditioning NOT strength. My heart rate can easily get over 170 bpm in a metcon doing butterfly pull ups or kipping handstand push ups. This video is from Monday. I did 5 sets of strict pull ups to failure each time then an every minute on the minute workout of 3 strict + 5 butterfly pull ups. . . . #chasingexcellence #hybridaf #crossfitcoordinate #hybridathlete #athlete #fitness #bodybuilding #crossfit #functionalbodybuilding #npc #figure #npcfigure #bestself #workyourweakness #fitfam #lifestyle #grit #lookgoodmovewell #savagebarbell
