Where are you in the photo?
Are you ever concerned about over-training?
Hi Spider,
I'm somewhere in the front row...
And, yes, I am eternally concerned about over-training, and I would definitely not recommend thirteen CrossFit workouts in the space of four days to anyone (unless they were looking to experience a bout of intense, prolonged soreness for some odd reason). Let's just say that I don't train that way either on a regular basis (hell no!).
But I do two-a-days most days, excepting weekends. Not necessarily two CrossFit workouts, though. Every morning I do a CrossFit workout. The other workout either is a kettlebell workout or a strength/skill workout (e.g. what you might see in Starting Strength/gymnastic work like rings/Olympic weightlifting). I've found that this method works extremely well for me. I listen to my body and when I discern that I need some recovery time, I cut back to one-a-day for a period of time. While volume decreases during this time, intensity isn't sacrificed. I don't mean to sound like a prig but I think I am pretty successful at improving the standards of my performance, while consistently working at such high volume.
Everyone is different and I really don't think this method will work for everyone. Of course, I've got youth on my side as well, which probably counts for a lot... I'm not quite sure I'd do both Fight Gone Bad and Murph within two hours of each other, thirty years from now... :)
