Skill Week!
I know some of you have a hard time settling into skill week but I want to stress again how important it is to taper and to work on skills. Here are some different skills folks worked on this week. Take a look at Traci's kipping pull-up. The last few months she has focused on static chin-ups and it has made a huge difference when she does kipping pull-ups in a metabolic workout. Now, every rep she does is solid - chin clearly over vertical plane of the bar. Had she not taken the time to work on her strength and skill with pull-ups, the quality of her movement would not have improved.

I love skills week! It's such a great chance to test where you're at with various movements and possibly challenge yourself to the next progression of the movement. To have that time is such a luxury!
