There has been a lot of talk lately about small injuries and muscle pulls lately by the newer athletes who are trying to adapt to the amount of high level volume training that CrossFit competitors do.
When we initially started this program we explained to everyone that you would have to be diligent with mobility and recovery days. Adapting to this amount of volume can take months for newer athletes and during this time it is essential to take mobility just as seriously as your Olympic lifting and gymnastics.
Mobility is not just a five minute stretch. Mobility entails daily maintenance, anywhere between 15-30 minutes per day and a full hour mobility session on Thursdays and Sundays.
This program is not designed to merely maintain your general fitness, it is designed for high-level performance. The performance of a high performance race car is determined by the regular maintenance and upkeep of that car. Your body is the same. Please take your mobility seriously as we want everyone to continue to improve on every aspect of fitness.
