You must learn to rely on your mind to push you through the suffering. It is in your
mentality, not your 20-inch biceps, that your true power lies. When you learn to depend
on your mind, you'll be amazed at the unlimited amount of strength and endurance that
your body has. "Whatever you convince your mind to believe," says Bobby Ashhurst,
CrossFitter and Pursuit Rx athlete, "will become a reality." Once you discover that your
mind can will your tired body to lift heavier weights, do more reps, and perform longer,
you can develop a better physique, perform better in sports, or be mentally tougher for
any aspect of life.
So the next time you want to quit, listen to that positive voice in your head and let it push
you to keep going!

If you lift weights, you probably know they have to get progressively heavier in order for
your muscles to grow. However, there will come a time when lifting a challenging weight
will be an intense struggle. You might even fail.
These big weights can be scary. They can push you beyond your comfort zone and make
you feel like a total wuss. That's a good thing. The worst thing you can do is be overly
hesitant to try again. Don't live in your comfort zone! Instead of lifting weights you know
you can handle all the time, plan for PR attempts, try that bigger dumbbell, and constantly
strive to get better every time you walk into the gym.
To CrossFitters, professional weightlifters, big powerlifters, and even college and highschool athletes, fail lifts are part of a positive progression. It is a sign that they are
overcoming fear and doubt. Once the fear of the heavier weight is eliminated, you can be
persistent in your pursuit of smashing old personal records with giant weights. These big
weights are why CrossFitters can pack on big muscle.
Don't wait any longer. Go for a new one-rep personal best in your deadlift or back squat
today. If you fail, who cares? Just adjust your training and try again in a few weeks!
ONCE THE FEAR OF THE HEAVIER WEIGHT IS ELIMINATED, YOU CAN BE PERSISTENT IN YOUR
PURSUIT OF SMASHING OLD PERSONAL RECORDS WITH GIANT WEIGHTS.

Go to any commercial gym and I bet you'll see most guys doing biceps curls or bench
presses, and most gals doing cardio or working on their butts. A lot of people spend the
majority of their time in the gym working on their favorite muscle groups or doing their

Sure, you biceps-curlers might have big arms, and you booty-blasters might have tight
buns, but eventually your positive body composition changes will come to a disappointing
halt. Moreover, exclusively or semi-exclusively training just one or two body parts can
make your physique unbalanced, your body more prone to injury, and your overall fitness
a joke.
To be a good bodybuilder, a good CrossFitter, a good athlete, or even just a fit, healthy
person, you must be well-rounded. That means sometimes you have to do movements

Well I guess all the WODs I've ever done have been far
below average - if that's the case, you got to turn up
the intensity. What were some of your most recent

For me the big problem with crossfit is the lack of grace due
to the desperation that falls upon the individual when the
body crosses the line into the survival/aerobic breathing
mode and form deteriorates. But I do like the crossfit torso
physiques with natural strong well-balanced muscularity. My
approach used crossfit type bodyweight suspension moves
for physique development. Olympic bar moves, not for me,
too awkward and unbalanced.

this is just what I needed - been in a rut for the past couple
days with sub-par workouts. Now I know I've got to mix it up
and get out of my comfort zone... it keeps things interesting
mentally and physically ;)
