First thing you notice when beginning a new kind of training is just how much you SUCK at it.
Seriously . . SUCK at it.
Coming into Crossfit from a typical strength/bodybuilding style training program to a conditioning one . . you think that helps you?
HA! Get serious . .
But that’s what I’m loving . .
That’s what I’m thriving on . .
It’s like I’ve been reborn again . .
I’m a toddler and I’m just learning to walk . .
Learning the movements . . dissecting each and every arm placement . . foot placement . . head placement . . breathing . . grip . .how each connects to the other . .
Does it frustrate me that I can’t do certain movements yet?
Of course it fucking does!! . . but that’s where my drive is . .
To be better than where I am each and every workout . .
To get a better time . . each and every workout
To use a measure of success to make sure I’m pushing myself as far . . and as hard as I can go . .
One thing I’ve realised above anything . .
You’ve got to PUSH when your body says you’re tired . .
If all you’re doing is exercising until your mind tells your body that it’s tired . . forget it! Your body is going to get LAZY and fall short EVERY time . .
Tired? . . keep going . . Exhausted? . . keep going . .
Your body will then realise that it needs to build up more strength if that HARD ASS mind of yours is going to drive it to exhaustion!
Need a breather? Do another round and THEN decide if you need a breather . .
Then give yourself a certain amount of time to have a mini-rest . . count it down . . 5 4 3 2 1 . . GO!
Don’t wait till you’re fully rested . . that’s not what conditioning is about . .
Does it hurt? HELL YES . . but just think . . the faster you finish . . the faster it stops hurting . .
Intensity is where it’s at!
Tomorrow is MAX DAY.
. . max Front Squat . . max Push Jerk . .
BRING
IT
ON
