I think a big issue here is that members at boxes are paying a lot of money per month so they feel like they need to hit the WODs as much as they can to make the membership feel like it’s ‘worth the money’.
Great video! The timing is spot on. These exercises are awesome. Question for you... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a muscle-building meal plan from them that's worked wonders for me.
Great video. Plenty of info to chew on. A key thing for those who are worried about strength loss, just keep up with your workout log book. Look at last workout numbers and just before hitting a set, tell yourself you are going to at least match those numbers. Whether you do, don't or exceed will vary, workout to workout but having the positive intention will help you stay strong and keep muscle.
My absolute favorite thing about the level method CrossFit was that every single movement was broken down into step by step doable goals. They even programmed things like false grip ring rows so that the false grip feels natural long before you're ready for muscle up. I like how ring holds and pull up negatives were programmed. If I wanted to get a strict pull up, The level method kept showing me the next doable goal to get there.
In my opinion you can do a workout everyday but!!! not on a to high intensity. if you have the same intensity feeling like you would have in a competition/ the CF open several times a week you will burn out and you will lose the fun with CF. If you do most of your workouts at 85% you will have a good training effect with staying motivated. the closer the competition/ cf open gets the more intensity you can/ should do, with an offseason after your competition is over.

😂 That’s me! I feel the need to make the money worth
Yes!! Big reason for my overtraining and injuries after my first year 😭
Yep. Also when other gym members think you are 'cherry picking' wods even though you've had the same rest day for the last year.
I get that! False economy though when it comes to progress!
Yup!

Thank you!! Love your video as always
Thank you that's help allot I see my mistakes
Specific skill work and unclear goals, that’s me!
Any progress?
So how do I make my gym work for me?
Overtraining for sure...I tend to subscribe to the philosophy that if I ever woke up one morning and nothing hurt, I'd worry I was dead!
HWPO60 has 5 lifting and metcon based workouts plus 1 all cardio day….only one true rest day….am I over training?? FYI I am a 48 year old beginner…..
