“Does it count?”
You just squatted 200 pounds. It was tough. You look at the coach and ask, “Does it count?”
I know what you mean. You want the coach to tell you it was low enough. That is what we call a movement standard. For the squat, it’s hip below parallel. For a pushup, it’s chest to the floor.
But I want to you change your thinking. Instead of asking if it counted, why not ask, “How was my form?” or “Did my knees cave in that time?”
When you change your mindset from chasing the numbers on the board to chasing form, everything will fall into line. With great form, you’re lifts will improve over the long run. That might mean you have to take a step back and lower the weight. But that one step back will translate into two steps forward down the road.

Not really satisfied this morning, felt exhausted before the wod even started (I’ll blame it on multiple nights of bad sleep!!). My burpees were slower than usual and my pullups weren’t all that great (it really shows when you haven’t done them in about 2 months, wow they were tough today!) But hey, still gave it all I had so that’s all I can do… I still worked out!!!!
there is no bad workout 🙂
There sure is. I cried through one once – I wouldn’t exactly call that a ‘good’ workout. 😉

Now this is a fast Diane time -> http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/WOD101126_MikeGDiane.wmv
Look at his hand positioning, pointing out 90 degrees. Things to experiment with! Pretty impressive! I think I just picked up a few pointers to work on!
That’s a crazy time for Diane! I’m not sure but his hands could be set a little wide as well. Maybe it’s just his speed but his range of motion seems short. I’d like to see my HSPUs on video.
How about sub-2min?
