Keeping track:
Training is going well, you’re hitting new PBs, making improvements in your skill sets, and recovery is improving. Or at least we hope so! But do you really know your progress? Here’s a handy bit of kit to be including, aptly named ‘Beyond the whiteboard’ At the very least try and keep a diary of your training to monitor lifts, named workouts, goals achieved etc. Beyond the whiteboard is specific to CrossFit, and so has appropriate sections for your record keeping. Also take a look at this link to check out your overall CrossFit ability, and moreover, where you lack and excel relatively speaking to other areas on the same level.
Take this week to set some goals, perhaps your own or from the list of standards, and work towards them after a session, or on Thursday rest days. Attack your set goal on the last week of September. Everyone, post an aggressive goal to comments and we’ll review them at the end of the month.
i use beyond the whiteboard and its great for keeping track of my benchmarks,lifts. It’s been excellent for keeping track of my weight and body fat levels with a great graphic for seeing where I falter. Can be tricky for inputting some of the 3D workouts that are a bit outside the current standard of CF workouts with multiple parts, rest times etc! All in all a cheap and effective training log. Be great to see us sign up to it as an affiliate if we could get enough to go for using it! Would be a great way to have a nosey at what each other are doing and how we are al progressing!
