I won't name any names here...
I CrossFit and I coach CrossFit. I currently work with a clientele that has HUGE potential. I mean huge. They are isolated in a homogenous CF gym with no pressure to produce big results. As a result, I think they don't. My question then is - is it still CrossFit? Seriously - measuring results and constantly improving is the name of the game - unless it isn't.... Isn't it? I find myself in a new place. Really I only have one coaching CF experience and it is very different than where I find myself...
Let's see if I can draw any parenting comparisons... Nope - the deal is that things progress. Keep track of those progressions and let's continue along. If you get a 175 back squat - don't tell me to scale it back. Let's go from there? What the hell are you afraid of?
What the hell am I afraid of? I'm afraid of hurting myself or failing. I'm afraid of coming in DFL (dead fucking last). Should that stop me? No. Is that the same thing that stops these people?
Let's find comfort in the bar. Comfort in the movement. It's time to test ourselves and move. Let's engage all of those beautiful muscles. Evolution put you here and you are so strong. Don't limit. You can be far more than what you think you can be. Life is an adventure - let's get rid of the fucking routine and try something else. Push yourself!!!!
