CrossFit and CNS Fatigue

Iron is forged in the fire, not the couch, so I’d prefer to see this through rather than scale back down.

The problem with this is that you are a bag of flesh and water, not iron. It’s a metaphor that has zero connection to the reality of training. Obviously training hard is important, but recovery is equally important - if your recovery is shit, you are limiting how hard you can actually work.

So yes, iron is forged in a fire, but a successful athlete is forged on the sofa as much as they are by the weight room. Ditch the cringey metaphors and start training smart.

@catherineone Curious, if you don’t mind sharing, what are your anthropometrics?

@caleb_m 6’5”, 230lbs. I don’t have BMI or any more information but I’d say Im fairly lean and moderately toned.

@catherineone What’s a rough guess on the split of your macros percentage wise? My knee jerk would be that you might need more carbs if you’re that lean.
