3 Rounds NOT For Time of:
10 Pushups
15 Power Cleans (#95-115)
25 Air Squats
Let me preface this post by saying that I love timed (ex. AMRAP's - as many rounds as possible) and tasked (ex. 3 rounds for time) oriented workouts. I love training on the clock when doing conditioning based workouts as a tool to remind myself to get as much work done in as little time as possible. After all, a stop watch and CrossFit go together like jerky, nuts and berries:>) Time it, record it and measure it. Come back and beat your old time. Chase performance is the name of the game, so they say.
However, at least once a week I will do a not for timed CrossFit workout and advise Steve's Club athletes to do the same.
What I discovered is...No clock = Less pressure. Rather than complete the task as fast as possible, the goal is to focus on the quality and efficiency of the movements.
Forget about the results and the outcome.
Instead, the point is to make the workout as enjoyable as possible.
Sometimes, happiness comes when you're free from the pressure to see the desired outcome.
