Written by Chris ThorndikeWhy Repeat?
Re-testing a benchmark workout or previous WOD is a great way to check your progress and dissect your gains! Rarely have I seen a CrossFit athlete lose touch or focus, but it can happen to anyone... Self motivation can be challenging, so take the work out of it and look for your strengths, weaknesses to work on, and recognize improvements when you repeat. Use your numbers as a tool to fuel your practice points and to amp up the intensity! No excuses, the numbers don't lie!

As our community grows with a greater understanding of quality training and hightend performance, you'll find that your own standards following. I believe the greater the exposure the more critical and percise our movements, technique, and performances will become. Just in the past few weeks, I've seen spot lights across a variety of professional sports praising the CrossFit methodology. Players and athletes seen in theTour De France, AVP Pro Volleyball, and the NBA have stepped up to showcase their enthusiasm and excitment for their results. Have you seen CrossFit growing? Why do you think it's spreading so quickly?
