I’m using Brute Strength’s “Knowledge Bomb” to help analyze my current performance limiters based off of my recent performance in the individual, Female Elite/Rx division of the Wodapalooza Online Challenge. I’ll be briefing each workout from the challenge and identifying was it my: *breathing? *skill? *mentality? or *muscle endurance?
