Those that follow the Journal may have come across Coach (Glassman) referring to an 80% standard when executing WOD's. That is to say, at least 80% of your reps should be executed with virtuosity of technique - Only as much as 20% of the repetitions in a given WOD should be allowed to show marginal decay. The inability to maintain form IS a demonstration of the athlete reaching neurological or muscular failure.
Too many reps executed in this compromised state WILL lead to compromised safety, efficiency and/ or efficacy of the workout - Ultimately leading the Athlete to injury, slower times, and/or slower development.
Pursue virtuosity in technique, pursue intensity, refuse to compromise either; and your fitness will be outstanding!

Evan, as if the pistols weren't enough from the other day, now we have heavier weight AND box jumps. *wince*
Think of it like "Diane", without the handstand push-ups. It almost sounds like a treat when put in those terms; ... almost.
Jason - If I could grow a Tom Selleck stache I totally would. Kudos for sporting whatever you can!
Evan - I'd rather do Diane! Box Jumps and Dead Lifts are a killer combo, at least with Diane my legs get a break!

Evan, my time as 6:37. I was so weary I forgot to write it down!
