I have been talking to a few of you about the importance of logging your workouts to show your progression. Click on the link below to read the article and below the link is a quote from the article found in the CrossFit Journal.

Logging your workouts

“One of the most important things in CrossFit is logging your workouts. I hit plateaus and I know it’s time to adjust (various variables). Logging gives you an overall view of your progression. Just by looking at those numbers, it gives you context.” -Tyler Weir
