Thursday May 28 2009 CrossFit The Woodlands WOD

Scott Wells teaching Randy how to push the hips back to begin the squat. Form is an absolute must when you come to CrossFit The Woodlands. I have heard of some very bad techniques that are being taught. When a trainer is not teaching proper technique, I consider that just as serious as a doctor doing malpractice. If you are totally confident putting your life is someone’s hands that does not know how to train properly, so be it. All I know is if you come to CrossFit The Woodlands, you will be taught how to do things properly. Proper motor recruitment patterns are a basic lesson that need to be understood before anything else. If you can’t teach this, then you do not need to be training. If you are not going to learn it in school, then you must learn it somewhere. This is a serious subject to me because people are trusting you with their lives. Just remember one thing. Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can come up with a hard workout. It’s takes a real coach to get people safe, progressive, constant results without injuring that individual. And just for the record, this is a post to call out any and all bad trainers. If you are not going to take the time and put in the work to understand how train properly, McDonald’s and Wal-Mart are always hiring.
