"There may come a day when our definition of fitness is not a compromise, when we no longer sacrifice mastery in one domain for competency in many, instead choosing mastery in all."

Jaime floating up to the top of the box.

This is not something I tell people when I talk to them abotu CrossFit, usually I tell them that If they want to be a world class olympic lifter that they should go to an olympic lifting gym, and if they want win marathons for a living that my training is not for them. Usually I explain it to them by having them rank the ten domains of fitness (cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy)on a scale from 1-10 with ten meaning that they are at the elite level of that catagory( i.e Hussein Bolt would be a 10 in speed) then I let them know that they will never reach a 10 training with me because a ten in strength or power typically means you have a 3 in another area. However we can get each are up to an 8 and not compromise any other area.

So what do you think is it possible to get to a 10 in one or more of the fitness domains with out sacrificing in others? Post your thoughts to comments, and bring your ideas to the work out tomorrow.
