We receive a lot of emails at CrossFit Per Ardua from members who just want to let us know their progress, what they love about our community and what their goals are, or how we can help them more. We like to share them sometimes, not to boast, or brag...but to help inspire other members. With great progress comes frustrations, failures and second guesses on what you are actually doing... So when an email like this comes in, we really want to share. This is the moment when we say...Yes! He/she gets it... So today, when you are deciding whether or not to show up for the workout because it involves some really hard stuff that you THINK you cant do...just read this... Morning Scott, When i checked the WOD last night (like i do every night at 9pm) i thought wow ... If there were ever 3 things i suck at ... But reading the write up made me realize that i would never get better by avoiding things im bad at. When i showed up today i was in a shit mood, didnt want to work out and just felt useless. While getting ready for the workout i noticed that everyone had a handle on OH Squats while i couldnt even wrap my mind around the technique. After some tips from a couple members and some advice from Keely, i sucked it up and started the WOD with only a bar. I felt like shit, like it was my first day. Long story short, i could barely dip with a PVC pipe over my head to start the day and by the end of the WOD (although ill admit i was extremely frustrated) i was doing full (or near full) extensions with the bar for my OH Squats. After the WOD i even took the time to slap a 10 lb plate on either side and do a few reps with Keely watching for areas to improve on. So what im trying to say is thank you for creating this environment for people to better themselves and thank you for filling it with such positivity (both trainers and members), without Crossfit Per Ardua i know that i wouldnt be as happy as i am right now. I still have a LONG LONG way to go but i know that with such positivity in my life, that the journey will be that much easier. So thanks. Humble Superman aka Fuke
