I think today was the first day I felt like I had any reason to be crossfitting ... Lol ... My confidence in myself has been low because i hate having to scale workouts... Seems like the past week and a half have led me to scale almost everything... I suck at bar muscle uPs ... Suck at heavy power cleans... Although heavy thrusters are good for me... Lol... Today i actually felt like I could bring some intensity... So opinion... Should i scale these workouts to keep intensity high? Or Do them as prescribed even if I spend more time preparing to do the movements rather than actually do them ?
For athletes using this site to prep for the Games this summer I would scale the weights down if there are slowing you down excessively.
However for you Cheryl, as an athlete that just missed the games this year, I would keep the weights up and deal with the slower times. I think you are going to be a force next year Cheryl. Stay committed.
