Ego is a powerful thing. It can motivate you to new levels or it can shut you down to protect itself. In order to be successful, you often feel as if you are in competition with yourself. In this episode, Sam and Trey talk about four different levels of competition with your ego.

1: Just get started. Build inertia and it will help carry you through.

2: Adopt a beginner's mindset. Allow yourself to fail, to struggle, to learn, and to grow.

3: Avoid unhealthy comparisons to others. Don't compare your documentary to someone else's highlight reel.

4: Overcome self-doubt. You won't always meet your own expectations. Learn from it instead of being buried by it.

Tying it all together, we encourage you to remember your why. A strong enough "why" can overcome almost any "how."

At CrossFit Nexus, each workout is designed with a specific goal in mind. Some days, we want to push hard and fast, other days we'll go a little longer and slower. This is designed to optimize your fitness and help you lose fat, gain muscle, and get fitter while avoiding the rut of a traditional gym routine. In this episode, Sam and Trey dive a little deeper on what this means, why we do it, and how modifying a workout can actually help you get fitter and stronger.

In this episode of CrossFit Nexus Radio, Sam and I talk about a new program we're introducing just for our current members: the Nexus Nutrition Project. The Project is designed to help everyday people develop four components vital to a healthy lifestyle over the course of 6 weeks. These four components, which we refer to as the pillars of health, are mindset, nutrition, movement, and regeneration. Participants will receive daily guidance, accountability, and support as they work to develop their capacity in the four pillars. If you want to lose fat, feel more confident, less stressed, and improve your performance, you need to do this program.

The Nexus Nutrition Project kicks off with a workshop at the gym on July 9 at 5:00pm.

This week, we talk about bulking/cutting and its effect on strength, whether dark chocolate or dates and peanut butter are a good snack, and finish by quickly reviewing fat and carb timing.
