CrossFit – Mon, Oct 10

Dwight Eisenhower lived one of the most productive lives you can imagine. It comes with no surprise that his methods for time management have been studied by many.

He creates for us a divide between two categories – urgent tasks, and important tasks.

Urgent tasks are things that you feel like you need to react to. Emails, phone calls, texts, “the news”. Meanwhile, important tasks are things that contribute to our long-term goals.

Said another way, urgent things often distract us from important things. They attempt to pull the veil over our eyes and *seem* like the things we should be doing right now.

If we can cut the fluff – the wasted minutes – and apply those towards what actually moves us forward… we’re in for a great ride. The opposite is also true. If we get caught up in only the urgent tasks, we can go through a whole day, busy-as-ever, and feel like we got *absolutely nothing* accomplished.

– The first few rounds of this workout are going to go by really fast. There is no need to rush here. The last thing we want to do is get through the first 5 rounds at a blazing speed, then be staring at the rings on round 6, totally gassed. Go out at a CONTROLLED speed.

– Use the runs as a recovery from the indoor movements.

– Chip away at the barbell reps in singles. Make the goal here to save the arms for the muscle-ups and to control the heart rate.

– Chip away at the ring muscle-ups however you see fit. If this is a good movement for you, aim to hold on for unbroken sets for as long as you can. If this movement isn’t your jam, break them up early and just try to rest for as little time as possible between sets.

– The longest break here is likely going to be between the power cleans and ring muscle-ups. Try to be intentional with your transition between these 2 movements instead of letting lots of time tick away in between.
