A Theoretical Heirarchy of Development
Coach Greg Glassman, co-founder of CrossFit
A theoretical hierarchy exists for the development of an athlete. It
starts with nutrition and moves to metabolic conditioning, gymnas-
tics, weightlifting, and finally sport. This hierarchy largely reflects
foundational dependence, skill, and to some degree, time ordering
of development. The logical flow is from molecular foundations,
cardiovascular sufficiency, body control, external object control,
and ultimately mastery and application. This model has greatest
utility in analyzing athletes’ shortcomings or difficulties.
We don’t deliberately order these components but nature will. If
you have a deficiency at any level of “the pyramid” the compo-
nents above will suffer.

I was pleased with my burpees today, but my DU's really slowed me down in the first round. I did the first 10 one at a time. Frick! I finished in 14:43. Great work this morning, crew.
Speaking of which, Ang and I did 6 rds of:
400m row
25 GH situps
25 back extensions
24:14.
So much pain!
Ang, you are incredible. I couldn't keep up.
But that workout sucked. I don't really know why I agree to things like that.... Joe didn't tell me my time wen I was done.
Is anyone else worried about getting to the higher reps for the HSPU challenge? I am concerned about doing like 40 of them after some ass-kicking workout. Its gonna get tough!
Jen, the mural is looking great!
I did my 4 HSPU's and worked on some negatives.
