Power Snatch (60-70% of 1RM)
Box Jumps (30/24/20in. box)
*Focus more on technical proficiency and power/explosiveness during the WOD today moreso than your time, especially if you did "Murph" yesterday.
*Challenge yourself with box jumps - shoot for a height slightly outside your comfort zone.
“Someone who has true grit, and has the ability to persevere even in the face of adversity. Someone who’s not easily overwhelmed. This person must have a locus of control – which is the belief that you can control your problems – a sense of what happens to you is by your actions. A sense of mastery. You have to enjoy mastering challenges both mental and physical… they look at a challenge as an opportunity to improve themselves, as a way to endure.” - Dr. Mark Russell, retired Navy psychologist and U.S. Marine
Does the above quote describe a Special Forces Operator, or a CrossFitter? Definitely an SF operator, but we would argue both........
Got 13:31 with #135 and 32" box. Great coaching by Boggs this morning. Ended it with heavy back squats. The quote is perfect for us too. Fighting that voice in your head that says quit or rest... its the biggest barrier to success in any realm.
ReplyDeleteThat voice gets SO LOUD sometimes...gotta turn the music up to drown it out.
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks for the props. I'm just following your lead by trying to learn in order to become a better coach and athlete. Glad to be a part of the team.
As the saying goes, "Pain is just weakness leaving the body".
