    agreed, great article. don’t get me wrong, it feels great to put big numbers on the board, but without technique the plateau is reached rather quickly. i personally struggle with focusing on technique down before pushing through with brute force. however, this is what makes us athletes and not gym rats. we have the coaching, training regimen, and self discipline to stop, step back, and work on technique. not just weight.
    I have a buddy in denver who lifts – and he does so effectively pulling big numbers, but he has little to no technique. the consequences of his routine are sore joints/ muscles and other injuries. proper form and technique would do wonders for both his max weights and the conditioning of his body.

    Welcome to the gym! We fully expect you all to join in the workouts, hang out with us like family, eat the appropriate snacks, drink the Kool-aid, etc etc…

    On a side note, my lats and abs are still burning from Tuesday’s workout. And today’s wod crept up and silently destroyed me. Bless those burpees. We should do some every day until the end of time for funsies.

    Somehow Matt tricked us again into doing two tough workouts in one class. As always I’m so impressed with everyone at Bolt…definitely some hard work being put in this morning.

    Karen, you couldn’t be more correct. I’d say you get the BOLT “Good Hands” award for butterflying (new word?) 75 pull ups and enduring 3 nice rips in the process. Well done everyone!
