In the WOD, load less, move faster = create more power. Know when to scale courtesy of Rainier CrossFit and Again Faster.
Quote of the day: “The successful implementation of scaling demands a simple recognition: there are an infinite number of weights that can be loaded on a barbell, and every one must be removed from ego and firmly affixed to power. When this mental shift occurs, we’ll get more powerful athletes, guaranteed.” ~ Jon Gilson, Again Faster Equipment
