I am totally with you on this shit. "All things in moderation, including moderation." That maxim helps one steer clear of the "rigid mind frame" (or "dogmatism," good call kstar) that can interfere w/ the generalist's pursuit of overall fitness . . . while leaving a little flex for those times when you just need to foam at the mouth. You know, like Sven the Berserker in <I>Erik the Viking</I>. (A Tim Robbins classic. I bet Damian knows.)Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704276491771499323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21771044.post-65831841992366249772008-11-12T23:53:00.000-08:002008-11-12T23:53:00.000-08:00i love you guysi love you guysUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050376418053173848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21771044.post-20866389671431888992008-11-12T21:24:00.000-08:002008-11-12T21:24:00.000-08:00Great post.

Adrian could tell something wasn't right and suggested the rings, an appropriate modification to the situation. At first, I tried to power through and continue with unassisted pull ups. Dropping down to assisted pullups felt like I was failing or being a snit. I resisted at first because the only other time I had done unassisted pull ups (after I learned to kip) was when I had actually ripped my hand. I thought that since I could do pull ups then I should always do them. Then Adrian shouted "Is it really worth ripping your hands" and I thought "not if I want to work out next week". He could tell I was bothered and asked "Are you working hard?" and the answer was "Hell Yes". He also said it was good to mix it up and change the stimulus after a week of a lot of pull ups. Crossfit conditions us to go absolutely all out (not a bad thing). Sometimes we need lessons in when to modify, calm the F down and abandon our internal absolutes. I am still learning.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497486321649375201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21771044.post-42956549784920880062008-11-12T16:17:00.000-08:002008-11-12T16:17:00.000-08:00I agree absolutely.
