What are the non -rep in Crossfit?

I hope you are not deceiving me and you are wondering what the NO are to be able to cheat in Cross Training. Because although sometimes you may do any unintentionally ... The no rep are almost always that, traps.

But let's start at the beginning because you may not know what I'm talking about. In Cross Training, as I imagine you do, different types of movements are performed, whether gymnastics, Olympic or other sports disciplines.

These movements to be valid must meet some standards of movements that apply to all athletes. That is, although you climb you a movement you will have to take a specific tour to be valid.

These standards can be from the starting point, for example, start with the chest on the floor on a Wall Climb. It can be part of the tour, such as breaking the parallel in a Thruster. Or even in the end, such as blocking the elbows in a Jerk.

He Failure to comply with any of these standards, or others, is what I would imply doing a non -rep. Or what is the same, that this repetition is completely discounted and we must repeat it until it is done correctly.

Why do we not reps?

Reading the above you might think that the people who commit not reps do so by mistake, but the reality in most cases is another. And it is that not to comply with the movement ranges is usually related to trying to earn seconds to the stopwatch or achieve less stress with the weight we are working on, or even both.

But it is true that sometimes we can commit not reps for more reasons. There are no types of non -reps, but we can encompass them in different groups, although not rep is a quasi universal concept that encompasses all.

No technical rep

This is the one you commit when your technique is not good, you try but it does not come out. This may be due to lack of practice, lack of strength or lack of mobility.

These deficiencies (strength and mobility) usually lead to technical errors that make us impossible to carry out an exercise.

No quick rep

This is the non -Rep you commit by doing things quickly (and badly), and that, although our goal is to complete the wods as quickly as possible, running more can cost us a lot of time.

Think that if you commit not reps to go faster, you will have to repeat the movement losing twice as much time, that of the non -rep and that of the correct one. Sometimes it is better to go a little more slowly and make sure we do it well.

No rep vague

This is committed by athletes who decide that, being able to make the movement, meet the standard is very tired. This is very visible when you have to jump the bar in the burpees jumping to the bar, which must be done with the 2 feet together and do it with one.

Who tells the no rep?

During the competitions there is the figure of the judge, this according to the competition can have a specific training, as occurs in the Crossfit Games.

There are even professional judges, grouped in organizations that offer their services to competitions.

In local or minority competitions, practically anyone could make a judge.

In all the previous cases what there will always be will be a briefing in which it will explain the movements and in what these should be set to be able to determine whether the movements are correct or not.

In the day to day, the repetitions are told by the athletes themselves. Each of yours, some even invest time and effort to tell others. But in the box each athlete is his own judge, therefore if you cheat that judge you are only deceiving yourself.

As you can see, doing not reps does not compensate. What you should do is find a way to do the repetitions with the complete range, and if you must train more for it that is part of the process.
