Video Watching Ratio

How many minutes of technique videos should you watch in comparison to how much you train?

Okay. First of all, this assumes you are watching any technique videos at all and that you are training at all. If you are doing one and not the other, you should try doing both (particularly if you are watching videos and not training. It won’t make you any fitter.)

Anyway, my arbitrary rule is 5 minutes of video for every 5 hours of training, which basically (for me) means about 1 technique video a week. This means I’m going out onto the web and getting new information but not so much that I get lost in a sea of novelty. (It also means I’m not spending hours on YouTube watching CrossFit videos instead of sleeping.)

Check out the rowing technique video above and see what you think.
