VARIED NOT RANDOM #161: HOW TO IMPROVE HIGH SKILL MOVEMENTS UNDER FATIGUE

A VNR listener, who has been a CF coach for 5 years, was recently preparing to take the RKC1 qualification.  While preparing for this qualification he received a lot of flak for the “American Swing”, which is so prevalent in CrossFit. Since the Kettlebell Snatch also takes the kettlebell to the overhead position, why is it not more frequently utilized in training? Pat & Adrian discuss this topic.
 A VNR listener from the UK says he struggles when trying to perform complex movements while fatigued. Bar muscle-ups, Ring Muscle-ups, Double-unders, Snatches & Chest-to-bar Pull-ups are some of the movements he mentioned as being problematic. He is looking for how to best improve these areas of his fitness. Pat & Adrian discuss this topic.
