Aggression Is not a 4 Letter Word

Be aggressive.

Commit.

Does this sound familiar?

It is often remarked that CrossFit is just as much an exercise in mental fortitude as it is in physical exertion. Often, the mind and body are at odds with one another during a metabolic conditioning workout and it is often the mind that gives up far sooner than the body. Chances are, when you think you have reached your limit point your body will surprise you and enable you to get out one or two more reps.

Aggression and commitment are integral to powerlifting and olympic lifting. Approach the bar with confidence and drive and you will succeed; approach with bar with apprehension and you will fail. Of course failing on a heavy lift is a necessary part of the CrossFit experience; but wouldn't you rather fail with grand confidence rather than with an impoverished mindset?
