RAW STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING IS DEDICATED TO PROGRAMMING AND TRAINING ADVANCED CROSSFIT ATHLETES ON THE GOLD COAST.

 

CrossFit Lisbeth Words of the Day always has some great reads. Check out this one on '5 Things you should do right now,' because you really should!!

 


 


1.) Squat. It’s the rare person who actually squats too much. Most folks squat too little.

 

2.) Start reading the words of Josh Bunch over at Practice CrossFit. Your life will be better for them. Stop reading the words of complainers and fools: they only make your life worse.

 

3.) Stop thinking that just because you’re going heavier means you’re a badass in CrossFit. It doesn’t really work that way. Going heavier just means you went heavier, and, depending on the workout, that actually might be the wrong thing to do — especially if it negatively affects your intensity. Learn to scale the WOD to you, not to your ego or anybody else. If you have trouble with this (and many of us do), get a coach.

 

4.) Ask your coach what you need to do to get better at CrossFit. Go home, ask your partner what you need to do to get better at your relationship. Ask your kids how you could be a better parent. (And don’t believe them when they say “Give me a bigger allowance.”) Then, evaluate and implement. Act. Stop sitting on knowledge that you don’t do shit with. (Like mobility: watching videos isn’t going to make you more mobile. Do the work.)

 

5.) Stop worrying about things. Change what you can and press on. Laugh big. Bitch less. Smile/think/love more. Go hard. Good things will come.
