⁣

What advice do you have for new (or experienced!) CrossFitters? 

Attend classes as frequently as you body will allow you, you’ll know when you truly need a rest day. Also pace yourself during the metcons and don’t burn yourself out right in the beginning.⁣

⁣

What are your favorite numbers and why? 

For time-capped metcons I prefer descending rep schemes, and for AMRAPs I prefer more movements with lower rep schemes for each as I enjoy cycling through multiple movements quickly.⁣

AMRAP 10, 5 hang cleans, 5 front squats, 5 S2OH, 10 burpees over bar, 10 T2B. RX 95/65
