After some hesitation, Rachel joined WAG to complement her training. She didn't intend to drop a weight class, but it came naturally with the program and she feels stronger than ever!
Recently, Bryce Lewis, an internationally acclaimed powerlifter posted a photo on his Instagram of a whiteboard he brings to the gym that details his training goals, along with mantra-like statements regarding his training mentality.
Preparing for a CrossFit competition is more physically and mentally demanding than exclusively training just for fitness. Don’t let that deter you, if you participate in CrossFit we encourage you to do a competition at least once in your lifetime!
