EXPERIMENTS.

And what do you think of today's WOD, Hogans?!
A.J. Jacobs is an interesting dude. He’s a great writer of such books as the one that I recently read entitled, My Experimental Life. In it Jacobs spends a number of months doing life experiments on himself such as – speaking brutal honesty with everyone that he encounters for a month, outsourcing his entire life (including apologies to his wife) for a month, and posing as a woman for a month etc. Read it if you get a chance, it’s a quick and entertaining book.
This got me to thinking…what kind of experiment would living as a CrossFitter be for a month, if you weren’t one already? Imagine taking a regular mortal right off of their comfortable couches, brushing the powdered sugar off of their t-shirts, wiping the mediocrity off of their faces and throwing them into CrossFit. Would it be an experiment in pain management? An experiment in optimal health (if we were able to tweak their nutrition)? An experiment in team bonding? Post thoughts to comments.

I think an experiment in recovery. I know when we did hell week, that was the biggest thing for me. Mainly getting my body back to a place where it could perform again in a much quicker period of time than it was used to. I would imagine it would be about the same for a person coming off the couch to train twice or three times a week.
