151207 - CrossFit, SS | How to move from Intermediate to Advanced

I've been writing scaling options on the board for Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced
athletes. These scaling options are as always suggestions. They give you a starting point and you're always empowered to adjust accordingly.
As far as how to know who's who: Beginners are pretty easy to spot. They're not sure about where things are and are still uneasy with the movements. Intermediates are the vast majority of our folks who have been here for a year or more. The challenge is moving from the potential purgatory of Intermediate into Advanced. 

Here are things to remember and help get you over that seemingly Sisyphean hump. 

  • Every day is leg day. And shoulder day. And ab day. And butt day. And chest day. 
  • If you never push your limits and boundaries, you get smaller, weaker and slower. 
  • Working out twice (or more times) a day every day isn't training. It's working. Training is better.
  • Scaling weights is always okay. Mis-counting your reps is not. 
  • Post workout nutrition is more important than pre-.
  • WODs are to improve how you look, feel and perform. Two of those are subjective. Performance is numbers. If you don't know your numbers then you cannot improve. 
  • Rest is more important than training. Ask anyone who's had to take time off and come back stronger. 
  • Asking questions isn't bad, it's why you're here. Answering questions for beginners is a great way to understand and reinforce your own knowledge.
