Finding Your Pace

In a twenty minute AMRAP,(as many rounds/reps as possible) you don't have too much time to think.  Fact is, in most CrossFit workouts, there isn't much time.  You can think about something for only so long before something has to get done.

When the Going Gets Tough

When the going gets tough, we don't just go.  We stick around, something about this group of hard knock  people strives to want to make a difference.  It's not just our workout mentality, we apply what we learn in life.

Bringing on the Run

So the chilly, snowy winter days have started to become a little old in most people's minds.  As one athlete stated tonight, "who would've thought a tiny bit of running outside would feel so good? bring on the spring", it's time to get our running shoes back on and hit the pavement. . . ice or no ice, sand or no sand - we need to feel air on our skin

Snatch vs Clean & Jerk

So the question of the night was the Snatch vs. the Clean & Jerk, there is no better way than to show some videos which I think do a phenomenal job of displaying both technique, power, and what a huge difference they really are. . .

Workin' Technique

We often put a lot of stress on our bodies in a very short period of time.  We, for the most part, often stick to the schedule of three days on and one day off.  But our programming also allows recovery from a strength perspective as well.

One Minute

One minute always seems like such a short period of time, heck sometimes 20 secs sounds like a short amount of time, but so much can happen in just a few seconds.

Comparing

We are all guilty of it, comparing oneself to someone else, without first looking in the mirror to determine who we truly are. 

Starting all over again

I have had my fill of taking breaks with CrossFit. . . needless to say, it never ends well.  I have been away from these posts for far too long, therefore, I am going to make it a necessary thing on nights when I coach, to come away with something.  There is always a story to tell, whether its a life lesson, a quick lesson, or a question I hear from the night.
