The Port
A very strength-based day today to end a cardio-heavy week of workouts. The clock will be running for this WOD simply so you know when to rest and re-start but this workout is for quality today and not for time. It’s easy, as CrossFitters, to get into the mindset of “as fast as possible,” all the time. But coming in and trying to push yourself to the limit day after day isn’t sustainable, as many of us who have been CrossFitting for a while have learned the hard way! Recovery suffers, your “go” gear goes missing for a little while, and mentally your workouts end up stressing you out, as opposed to making you feel better, healthier, happier. But slowing down some days does not mean you still aren’t working hard. Take this workout for example, “library” deadlifts, strict ring dips, and strict toes-to-bar, are very taxing in themselves. Think about the amount of time under tension, the difficulty of keeping movements strict, and the reps certainly aren’t small either.
Let’s come in today and challenge ourselves not with how high we can get our heart rates and how fast we can finish the workout, but rather how well we can move through these movements.
