The thing I love most about CF is that it pushes you like nothing else in this world. I've come to realize that the weakness we have is of our mind, not our body. When I first started CF over a year ago, I listened to my mind during workouts ... "stop, stop, you can't do this ... three out of five rounds is good, right? why finish the last two when you're so damn tired!!" I can still hear it.
Then I had a breakthrough on "Angie" (100 Pull Ups, 100 Push Ups, 100 Sit Ups, 100 Squats) only a month or two after starting CF. I did 100 pull ups ... barely! Then started in on push ups. I had to resort to single push ups for the last 76 reps! LAST 76 REPS AS SINGLES ... ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! That's when it hit home - your body will recover faster than your mind. I focused my mind to numb out the pain and finished it 1 at time.
Once you get your mind out of the equation and let your body do what's it was built to do ... you'll find out what your limits are ... if there are any????
