Skills and Drills
Imagine for a moment a large chili roaster absent of it’s chilies… you’ve seen them at the grocery stores. I’m going to ask you to write as many skills and drills that you can possibly think of onto individual sheets of paper, which we’ll throw inside the roaster. The only rule is that these skills and drills must be measurable, observable, and repeatable.
For example, I’d throw a 400m run for time in the roaster. I could also throw 30 muscle-ups for time and max distance handstand walk in the roaster. Others might think that a 1RM deadlift might be a good addition to the roaster. As many skills and drills as we can think of need to fill the roaster.
Now, with the roaster is full to the very opening, we can give it a turn and start picking tests of our fitness. CrossFit’s contention is that he or she that is the fittest will perform statistically the best across ALL skills and drills. Now that doesn’t mean that the individual needs to win any of the events. Rather, it simply means that the fittest athletes will perform well at all of the events in the roaster.
But wait, there’s one more thing to consider… what would you least like to see come from the roaster? 30 Muscle-ups for time? 5k Run for time… This exercise can also tell us alot about our weaknesses. If you fear seeing any skills or drills, your general physical preparedness would benefit from you attacking these weaknesses. Pursue a well rounded ability at any and all tasks by bringing your weaknesses up to speed.
