CrossFit Altius – CrossFit
Daily Mindset
**”If life changes from the outside in, life ends. If life changes from the inside out, life begins.”**
It’s been said before that external events don’t define us. We 100% believe in that. Going a bit further, we also believe that external events cannot create us.
Winning the CrossFit Games is something incredible. A monumental achievement. We won’t discredit that. But… does it change who are?
It can’t. It’s external. We aren’t a different human being the morning after. What can change us however, is the character we become. The beliefs we choose to hold. The standards we live up to.
A change on the inside reflects on the outside.
Never the other way around.

STIMULUS
Working on barbell cycling today, building to a heavy 10-Rep Touch & Go Power Clean
You are allowed to pause in the front rack and at the hips, but not on the ground
Cycling heavier weights for high reps will prime you to string together smaller sets of 3 once we get to “Blockbuster”
STRATEGY
10 reps for a lot of sets can be fairly taxing
When building up to your heavy set of 10, complete sets of 5-7 at the lighter weights
Once you feel like you are in your true “working sets” is when you should start going with sets of 10
