Stop what you’re doing. Get out your workout log. Tell me what workout you did on December 14th. How much weight did you use? How fast did you do it? How many rounds? Maybe you weren’t at CrossFit Modesto yet or maybe you didn’t attend that day. Okay, turn to your journal and tell me what you did last Thursday WITHOUT looking at your journal.
Do you remember what you did? I’m guessing you don’t. That’s okay, you’re a busy person. You have a lot of things on your plate. No one expects you to remember exactly what you did off the top of your head. What we DO EXPECT here at good ol’ CFM, is that you are WRITING DOWN what you do after the workout.
Why should you write it down? For one, it’s so you don’t have to keep asking the coach, “What weight do you think I should do?” It is YOUR responsibility to know what weight you’re capable of doing. The second reason, and more important than the first, is so that you can literally see your progression. I’m sure the first few weeks of CrossFit, somewhere you wrote, “This sucks,” or “Really hard,” or “Need to get better at...” But then, somewhere along the way you started writing things like, “I did the hang cleans really well, but didn’t run as fast. Need to work on running,” or “I PR’ed TODAY!!!”
Your journal is a way to track the work you need to do, as well as your successes that occur along your fitness journey. Use your journals. They are another way to aid in your success!
