Silver Bullets

My friends have decided that Crossfit is more of a gym than a cult, and I may agree with them a little. It is definitely a powerful, addicting force that plays with your head, especially after you start to notice some progress being made.

That being said, I don’t think that I am a mindless drone when it comes to fitness. I am not the type of guy who subscribes to Men’s Health and maintains a cupboard full of supplements and vitamins (OK, a multivitamin, some protein powder and flax seed oil…but really, that’s about it).

It’s not that these things are not good resources for some people, but I’ve decided that my time and money are better spent in the box and at the grocery store than anywhere else. There is no “silver bullet”.

Contrary to all of this, I’ve decided to sign up for a “Performance Intelligence” seminar that is being sponsored by CFDC.

As I have shared here on the blog already, my mental challenges now seem to be surpassing the physical challenges of these WODs lately. While my head tells me that these obstacles can only be overcome by time and conditioning, I am hoping that this seminar will give me a jumpstart on the process.

It’s not cheap. In fact, the cost of this one-day seminar could subsidize several trips to the supplement store and a few years worth of subscriptions to Men’s Health. But so far, the coaches at CFDC have not let me down, so I am gonna roll the dice and take what I can out of this opportunity.

The seminar is this Saturday. I will try to post a few kernels of new knowledge when it’s done.
