One of the most impressive performances I have seen with Crossfit

Unlike the super fast Fran times, Grace can't be half assed with butterfly kipped pullups or any other technique modification.  It is deceptively simple in design, but an incredible test of anaerobic endurance and mental fortitude.  This video is from Crossfit Dixie, my hat is off to you Tycen

Use what works....but keep looking

It is very easy, once you have had success, to keep using the same sub set of exercises, or perimeters, but what is also important is the continued variability of stimulus. Yesterday I taught a group of football players to row, and used the rowing machines to do some sprint intervals. Although they are well versed in sprint intervals, the slight change in modality made a world of difference. If one method doesn't work, find a new way to achieve the goal. If the way you are doing something works, periodically change it up to force your body to adapt.
