Practice

That's right folks we talking about practice. Not a W.O.D.,  practice. Contrary to what AI seems to think(this is one of my favorite clips by the way) our practice is important to what we do. Not just the fact that we practice, but that we do it perfectly. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

I started thinking about this when I was warming up for a workout with the evening crew at Chicago Elite Fitness the other night. I started doing a squat warm up/stretch and Dan walked over and told me to stop. Why? Because it was probably the laziest squat he'd ever see. It wasn't bad form, but it was far from perfect. My shoulders were a bit rounded, my core was clearly relaxed, I wasn't actively pushing out my knees or trying to keep my heels down. I was practicing, but I definitely was not practicing perfectly. I did it again, and the next time I did it perfectly.

I say all this to make a point. We should all do our warm ups and skill drills with proper form and effort. It's easy to slack off, but the more you do things with perfect form during "practice" the better chance your body will go into that same perfect position while under duress(a couple hundred reps or pounds or both!)

Push those knees out on that squat, don't let the core drop during those push ups, and shrug that bar up overhead even if it's only a pvc that you are holding.
