Deload weeks are so important. It’s been tested in exercise science and many theory’s have been generated and proven. To simplify why you need to do it:
First, apply a stimulus (exercise)
Second, you take it way (rest/deload)
Third, next time you exercise your body is better adapted to that stimulus (you get stronger).
Embrace deload weeks and don’t always try to max.
This past weekend, CrossFit King of Prussia hosted the second Keystone Affiliate Challenge. Around 75 athletes competed in the event's WOD. Congratulations to Aimee Lyons for putting on a solid event. Here is a picture of some fellow PA affiliate owners from CrossFit's KOP, York, Delaware Valley, Platoon, and APEX.
