On this episode, we recap the 2021 open and talk about standards and  what to try to focus on going forward. After the open is over we get  excited about the test that we just put ourselves through and then we  work on a few weaknesses, but keeping that going all year is tough so we  talk about how to keep yourself excited and working on something even  on those days you don't feel like working out.

On episode 5 of Beyond the Metcon,

Beyond the Metcon - Episode 4

On this week's episode, we talk about what you need for CrossFit, what is nice to have, and what cool but not really needed.

As the episode progresses, we go from what we feel is really important for all crossfitters to have with them everyday/week to something you may use only once a year. Lambert and Madison, both have what they like to have with them that isn't the same as the others. 

Here are a few links to a few products we talked about. When in doubt, give it a google.

In this episode we discuss the concept of healthy competing in CrossFit  on all levels.  That word scares some people in the world of CrossFit and excites some  people. We talk about how to use the competitiveness to help you meet  your goals and also how to use it to keep you excited to keep coming  back everyday.   Our main goal of this podcast was to talk about how to keep a healthy  mindset towards the idea of competition and how to use it to your  advantage to keep progressing forward to your health goals.
