I sit down with Youi and dive deep into our new strength cycle as well as the addition of our Advanced track.

Mastering the fundamentals is more valuable than worrying about the details. When you are just getting started, focus on three core principles:
1. Start too light: “It is only by focusing on volume, repetition, and easy weights in the beginning that you build the capacity to handle heavier weights later on.”
2. Be consistent: “If you want to make progress, you have to make a reasonable, sustained effort.”
3. Take small steps: “Tiny gains add up fast. Average speed can take you far if you just keep walking.”

“Break before you are broken” - The title article by Pat Sherwood @sherwood215 from the @crossfittraining Journal - October, 2016
“Perhaps all of us normal folks follow too many CrossFit Games athletes on Instagram and therefore put unrealistic/unnecessary expectations on ourselves.
Maybe the pressure is coming from somewhere else. I can’t pinpoint the source, but it’s out there.
Doing something unbroken does not necessarily mean you will do it faster.
Managing your personal tolerance of work-to-rest ratio will yield the greatest results for you.” - Sherwood
Knowing yourself, your ability and your tolerance with each exercise will allow you to build yourself a program where this week we do 15 reps with a 6/5/4 break up strategy and then in weeks/months, we progress to do 9/6 and then again in weeks/months, we progress to do 15 unbroken will allow us to enjoy the little wins and savour the process.
Not only will you be less miserable in a workout, you will do it easier and faster and see progress for yourself!
