Are you getting the most from your workouts?

Something that we the trainers cannot help you all with is your drive and intensity. As much as we all would love to see every one leave everything they have left in sweat puddles on the floor, we cannot make push you guys more than you are willing to go, which is fine. However; just as you increase weight as you get stronger, it is time to increase the intensity and drive. What that means is when you're doing an Amrap 20 like "Cindy" and you've finished the round with 15 seconds to spare, please, feel free to start those pull ups. Each day, you need to push yourself farther and farther past your old limits. That is why we train the way we do; to be better than we were before.
In today's and tomorrows WOD, you have great opportunities to push yourself past your fatigue and discomfort moments.
In today's Wall Ball and GHD WOD, once you start feeling that fatigue and discomfort, do a few more reps. That is where you will see the most and best gains in training.

My advice to every one is this: get comfortable with the uncomfortable. If you approach every workout with this mantra, you will no longer worry yourself with what you think you cannot achieve.
