Getting better means needing more rest??

@sanchez55 F38. When I was able to do more workouts RX I reduced the number of CrossFit classes I did to 2-3, I replaced on with an OLY-class and I hit the Open gym twice a week for upper body strength and longer endurance pieces.
 
@sanchez55 Also, being able to do a workout RX doesn’t mean you have to go max intensity every time. I hardly ever max out during the week, but I might do it on the weekend when I know I can relax the rest of the day.
 
@sanchez55 If you want to get better, replace some of the strength work with skill work. You will get stronger by doing most WODs, but you will not get more efficient at skills by doing WODs. Skill work is also lower impact, which helps with recovery.
