5:20 It's always good to have a contingency plan or be able to adapt but generally it's not a good thing if you have to use it. I pulled a muscle on plan A on the first set. Still determined to get my fix I tried a few movements, most of which aggravated it, until I tried wallballs. This wod is so boring and straight forward that I can't even remember where I felt it. Of course the prime movers are going to fatigue but it isn't painful. I would never use this wod as primary programming but it's important to do as a benchmark or a recovery wod. Light loads simply don't demand the juice when used in single movement wods, especially some of the oly movements. If the weight isn't heavy my body isn't going to work as hard in demanding perfection. Some of these lighter wods are good in the beginning of a crossfit career but they eventually expire.
i'm not going to lie...i hope i never ever have to do a 150 wall balls..my biggest problem right now is i fatigue very fast...this is the monster i fight with everyday mike...i've been with cfjax for 8 months now..and have seen some really great progress thx to chris, meg, and the rest of our crew...but, he shows his ugly face now and again......
You'll build up a pain tolerance over time and eventually realize that you can go so much farther than you think. Our minds always want to quit before our bodies are ready. Self-preservation is instinct. If this type of behavior was normal then it would be easy and everyone would be doing it. Keep doing what you're doing and remember that every good scientist keeps a journal. After all, this is one big science experiment.
