Internal Vs External Motivation - Pittsburgh Crossfit | Industrial Athletics

The idea of competition in CrossFit has been on my mind a lot recently. As a high intensity functional fitness program, the presence of competition can drive someone to push harder than they ever thought possible. Knowing that an athlete next to you may finish those last reps before you do will push you to the red line to finish first. We look at the white board to see how our WOD results stack up against others who have done the same WOD that day. We compare lifting numbers to see whose 1 rep max is highest.
