How old do you feel?
For the most part, I feel better and move better now than I did 20 years ago. I often hear from people in the box, "I wish I had CrossFit when I was younger!" While that would have been nice, the important part is that you have it now. Yes, after some workouts you may feel like you're decrepit, then you come back stronger. You've got CrossFit now, so take advantage, and continue to feel better.
One of the main things we talk about as coaches is how people move, not necessarily how strong they are. The better somebody moves, the easier it is to make them stronger. But the greatest reward we have is to help folks improve their movement. Helping someone develop a good squat will improve almost every function of daily living, and seeing the progress is a true pleasure!
So keep at it! If you've been with us for a while, or are just getting started, remember that our main goal at CrossFit Blacksburg is to make your life outside of the gym better, and to make you feel not as old as you did last year!
Pullups can come a variety of ways
