24h ago14:09

14:09

With 58 year-old Mike Tyson stepping back in the ring to take on an athlete less than half his age, there has been a lot of talk about how much his age would affect his athletic ability and performance.

#143 - Goat Movements in Conditioning 29:02

2d ago29:02

29:02

One common issue for athletes with some experience in their sport is struggling with 1–2 specific movements in grunt-style conditioning workouts. Even after extensive effort to develop these movements, they can still be a weak point, especially in competition or qualifier workouts. How can we help athletes improve at these movements? Should we focu…

#142 - Switching Training Days 31:15

9d ago31:15

31:15

For busy individuals competing in CrossFit, it’s rare to complete a training week exactly as planned. Sessions may be missed, accessory work moved, or entire training days shifted around. Athletes often worry that these adjustments will compromise their progress, especially those receiving individualised coaching. However, when asked if it’s okay t…

#140 - Changing Bodyweight for Athletes 25:51

26d ago25:51

25:51

In a varied sport like CrossFit, athletes often gravitate toward specific areas of focus, which can be influenced by their height and weight. Since weight is a changeable factor, some athletes set specific bodyweight goals. For example, some aim to lose weight to enhance bodyweight movements like pull-ups and handstand push-ups, while others seek t…

#139 - What to Do on Bonked Intervals 23:22

1M ago23:22

23:22

Every athlete has probably experienced it at some point—hitting that wall in the middle of some mixed-modal intervals. One second, you're holding pace, and the next, it feels like everything falls apart. Bonking on mixed modal intervals is more common than when doing cyclical work because you don't have immediate feedback on paces from the machine.…

#138 - Progression Isn't Needed to Progress 22:56

2M ago22:56

22:56

There comes a stage in training where week-to-week progress grinds to a halt, and it is often met with feeling like you have regressed or are stuck. You can even stretch this timeline out, and it might feel like noticeable progress doesn't happen for months. This can be a difficult realisation to overcome, and it is a constant battle that challenge…

#137 - Competing without Going Crazy 26:42

3M ago26:42

26:42

For someone devoting themselves to the sport of CrossFit, the way they train and approach competition is pretty clear-cut. Similarly, for the person doing classes to be healthy and stay fit, the way you train is clear-cut. But for the person who wants to do local competition, treat CrossFit as a recreational sport, but isn't interested in overstret…

#134 - Skepticism of Scientism 28:37

5M ago28:37

28:37

It is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture in the fitness and performance industry. There is a lot of misleading information that coaches and athletes have to sift through, which is difficult when the information is accurate most of the time. But do many of these claims move the needle and improve an athlete on the things that matter? Does doin…

This year's quarter-finals workouts were well received by the CrossFit community as a whole. Many enjoyed the simplicity of the workouts, which provided a good challenge for athletes of various levels. We saw workouts that were more compartmentalised than in previous years. There was less chaos, simpler skills, and no crushingly high volume of work…

#132 - Disappointment with Online Qualifiers 21:43

7M ago21:43

21:43

Qualifiers can be a stressful experience for athletes. The online leaderboard and the doubt created by not seeing other athletes perform all make for potentially neurotic self-comparison. With quarter-finals being much easier to qualify for, the open has less weight than in previous years. And now you're starting to see athletes say they are not in…

#131 - Getting More Exposure to the Sport 26:08

8M ago26:08

26:08

Often, when someone comes through the ranks of class workouts and starts to contemplate competing in CrossFit, they conjure up an image of their training having to dramatically change to "take it to the next level". In reality, they need to get more exposure to the sport and develop experience. Telling someone to do more of the sport can seem like …

Bad asses. You know the people I’m talking about. Whether they are people we know in real life or just through social media, we look up to them.

#130 - What to Do After a Competition 24:35

8M ago24:35

24:35

After a competition, athletes are usually keen to get to work and train for potential weaknesses highlighted in the competition. But often, this is too hasty, and it's wise to have a process figured out on how to approach the review and planning post-competition period. This week, we discuss some of our processes for reviewing an athlete's performa…

Zone two training has done the rounds and is gaining much attention from the competitive scene.

23:17

Is a testing phase of training a reliable assessment for a new athlete coming on board? It's practical, but it's essentially condensing the things you'll find out in training and competition into 1-2 weeks. Many athletes don't want to do it as well. They are usually more eager to start training and stay productive through that initial stage. One di…

There are a lot of subtleties in coaching that you can't pick up in textbooks and from theory.
