Okay Kids, we have been watching and seeing some patterns in not only our own CrossFitters but in other CrossFit's around the globe...
Pacing!
Are you someone who goes out in a workout and paces everything? Do you drink water during the workout? Do you take breaks? This is a sign of not understanding intensity. I see far too many people that have the ability to talk to other CFr's during a workout that could be getting a far better result in time or rounds.
Do you understand Neroendocrine response? Do you know that with intensity you can actually start to regulate hormones. Athletes will see substantial increases in testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, and human growth hormone. Exercising with protocols known to elevate these hormones eerily mimics the hormonal changes sought in exogenous hormonal therapy (steroid use) with none of the deleterious effect. Exercise regimens that induce a high neuroendocrine response produce champions!
Stop pacing your workout and give it everything you have…
If fat, lazy, sick, overtrained is your goal we are not your answer. If mediocrity is your goal, this training is not your answer.
If you want change, and want to be FIT, lean, and healthy we are your answer.

Bruce, you've lost your mind too.
explain on what level you're alluding to.
On intensity, so what this guy is saying is that drinking water during a WOD, or having time to drink water, means that I'm not applying enough intensity?
It's one thing to be able to talk during the middle of a WOD, as this guy alludes to, but an entirely different thing, IMO, to take a swig of water for 2-3 seconds. I could see people slacking off talking to people during a WOD, but I don't really think my taking a drink of water in between a set of 8-gazillion turkish get-ups and some back squats is in nearly the same boat as the "talker."
Just my thoughts. I see his point overall, but don't think his argument was laid out very well.
is BMack Brian Mackenzie? i get what he's saying. i'm constantly trying to keep the guys that come over from gabbing and slowing themselves down. its a different style of workout that has to click in your brain for you to appreciate trying not to talk or drink during the routine.
although, i take sips sometimes...too much and i get sick to my stomach though.
