Snatch balance 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

H.K working hard to open up that tight shoulder angle, keep those ribs locked.
Once again I am reminded of why I appreciate CrossFit in my life, because I need to always seek the truth especially as it pertains to my health and fitness. While hitting the main page tonight there is a link to a chat with Coach Greg Glassman. In it, he reminds me why I follow, lead and explore right along side the CrossFit bandwagon.
CrossFit isn't attached to their method and definition of fitness, they only seek the truth about health and fitness, if that changes the way we do things so be it, we get better. In the chat, Glassman states that science never proves anything. He is exactly right. Science explains and continues to explain until it is disproved. Science is all about theroy and disproving. The minute you try to prove something as a scientist you are now bias and could influence the outcome. This is how the fat myth happened, add money and a need to prove something and you no longer have the truth.
CrossFit seeks to answer the question; "How do we achieve the healthiest and fittest athletes and humans". If a method, movement or theory doesn't work, guess what we throw that piece away – no one ever found anything great by never screwing up. I've seen this happen many times over the time I've been an instructor at the level 1's. We hit the head meeting pre course and the flow master lets us know how, why and what may have changed. We seek, look, discover and analyze, CrossFit is constantly changing and always getting better. We do that by having an enormous community of professionals giving their input and experiences.
CrossFit IS one big scientific fitness experiment. Collecting more data on fitness then can be found anywhere else. Giving explanations where none were before, expanding our knowledge and increasing our social network to what I would call a second family. I have a friend who calls it the tribe! We have yet to find a better definition then; Constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high intensity. It's measurable, observable and repeatable. While most athletes don't even care about all that because the truth is it works and we can prove it with your own personal data.
