This is your BOX

Where do you work out? How do you work out? Who helps you get better? Do these "things" matter? All great thoughts, and they should matter. Why does it matter? Many thoughts come to mind, "Do I work hard at this place? Am I pushed by others? Does it suck to push my limits to get better? Do the movements challenge me? Do I try new things? Do I eat healthy? Do the people care about me?" and many more of your own thoughts. Do you have goals?? Hopefully you have goals, because how do you measure your success? You need goals, no matter where you exercise, whether it be in a gym, your backyard, a box, a park or Time Square. I hope you answer yes to all the questions about the "things" that matter. If you only say yes to a couple try to execute the rest. If the place you workout is lacking in a department help it become better by speaking up. If the trainer sucks let him know. When you are working out and you observe your fellow being slacking let them know about it. If you are receiving criticism, it is to help you, don't take it to heart, use it to get better. Should your fellow being be working hard, doing it correctly, let them know and encourage them to continue. Use constructive criticism, do not become selfish and cruel. Use your resources if you get to the workout early, use the barbells, rings or etc… to work on something you struggle with. Also, you could plan your attack for the workout, how could I take less time, what are my strong points, where can I make up some time because I suck at rowing? Most importantly, have the right attitude with an open mind to try something, without doubting yourself. Hopefully in your endeavours you find yourself and what you have been looking for, good luck in your journey of life. This is about more than becoming fit, it is about improving your overall health and prolonging your life!

Have Fun!

Thursday 3/17/11 Rest Day Reading

What You Do With That Strength

Perspective is important. This morning, I watched an old friend limp across the grammar school parking lot, smiling through her MS, just happy that she can still walk her child into school.

And it occurred to me: Today is not a day to crow about our strength or our sport or our movement.
Today is a day to simply, quietly use our strength to help the people in our lives. Just like my friend is doing. She might not walk as fast as she used to, but she’s still moving. And she’s still smiling. And she’s still doing the best she can for her kids.
It doesn’t matter if you snatch 45 lbs or 245 lbs. – what matters is what you do with that strength. If you’re the biggest bada** in your gym and you’re just an a**, well then shame on you. Give me the person with the training bar and the good heart instead: I’d rather lift with them any day.
Use your strength wisely — however much you might have. Help somebody who’s not expecting it. Be a hero outside the gym today, if only for a brief, small moment. These moments matter more than we realize.

Want to Be a Better CrossFit Athlete?

By Freddy Camacho 

When it comes to CrossFit as a competition, I can give you an edge over theother competitors. This is a simple tip. I won’t even charge you for it, even though you will start performing better. It doesn’t involve a super secret training regimen. It’s not a crazy concoction of supplements that will give you superhuman strength. It definitely does not involve you following a strict nutrition plan. I can assure you that it isn’t performing multiple workouts in a day. 

 You gain a competitive edge by simply training with integrity in your movement. It’s simple really. What does it matter if you “kill” a workout, but your range of motion within that workout was half ass? Think about what I am saying here. Do you have a Facebook account? Do you check the comments section on www.crossfit.com? Everyone and their mother posts these outrageous workout results. Where are they when competition time comes around? Most are wondering why they can murder “Fran”, but their judge keeps “no repping” them and they are at the bottom of the pack.

 Here are some simple tips to be better at performing full range of motion movement within your workout: 

 1. Know what “full range of motion” means. Learn that first, then finish reading the rest of this post. 

2. Concentrate more. Stop getting WOD drunk. Slow down a bit in your training and pay closer attention to your movement. Remember that you have to walk before you can run. 

3. Have someone watch your movement and call you out on it when you suck. Make sure that you get someone who isn’t afraid to tell you that you suck. Make sure that you can handle being told that you suck. If you can’t handle being told you suck, you suck so please don’t compete.

4. Buy a cheap video camera and film your workouts. I train a lot by myself, so I do this all the time. It’s eye opening to watch your workout after you are done. I always armchair quarterback myself. It’s a great way to see your movement, and it’s an even better way to learn about what you are and are not capable of when you start to fatigue. This is one of the ways I learned how to more efficiently strategize my workouts.

5. Don’t try and PR every workout, and don’t treat every workout like it is a competition. I’m not saying that you should NEVER go balls to the wall, I am just saying don’t do it day in and day out. Not only will your movement get better, you’ll be less prone to injury. It’s also an easy way to avoid CrossFit burnout. Yes, there is such a thing as CrossFit burnout. If you haven’t experienced it yet, you haven’t been CrossFitting that long.

 So there you have it. Five surefire tips to make you a more successful CrossFit competitor. Feel free to tip me at my PayPal account.
