Scaling Blog Series (Intro)

The goal of CrossFit is to increase work capacity across broad time and modal domain.  This simply means that given a task the goal of CrossFit is to do it better, no matter how long it takes or what the task involves.   The CrossFit programming mirrors this goal with workouts ranging from the extremely short 1 Rep Max lifts to much longer like running 10K or even sprint triathlons.   Regardless of your athletic ability or background there comes a time when it is appropriate to scale a CrossFit workout.   During this blog series I will explore the reasons behind scaling workouts and different approaches to help get better faster.

The following subjects will be explored in future editions of this series:

1) Skill 

2) Strength
