Today Coach Adrian Conway and Chans Porter dive into some frequent topics that have been thrown around the community recently about Affiliate programming and CF Games testing. They layout their opinion, reflect on what CF is actually trying to accomplish as a methodology and how they see the difference between the training of the methodology and the "Testing" of the methodology at the CF Games.

Today Coach Conway goes over some coaching mastery practices and considerations for coaching newbies and OG's in the same class and keeping their attention.

Today the Coaches discuss the programming, the stimulus, the test and how it went for the general athletes out there up to the elites. Also.....what did this teach us about our training and our fitness? And where do you go from here? We have a solutions.

Was it the best Open ever? Nope. Was it the worst Open ever? Nope. What did we really test? Was it awesome for the 75% that didn't advance? Maybe. Was it awesome for the top athletes in the world? Sure, but they will always separate themselves, easily. Everyone will have their own opinions, that is ok.....as long as you paid to participate. The best question to ask is what did you learn about your fitness? Your programming and how to better serve your community or athletes or yourself with your training?

Today we dive into strong considerations for 26.2. The overall theme just like many weeks is simpy "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"! Athletes need to exhibit high levels of self awareness if they want to succeed late here! Take this on RX first if you don't think you can do one of the movements and you may surprise yourself! Then you can always do in scaled and get a great training session/ workout.

Rise to the challenge!

It's a doozy, here are our thoughts and considerations.

So.....the Open has started, what are your thoughts? Ours are....don't redo this one. Hahaha!

Today the Coaches break down what we can learn from watching this staple movement combo of thrusters and pull ups all the way back from 2013 with 2 legends.

How can this impact your training?

How can you better gameplan?

Where did they make mistakes?

What would performances look like now?!

Today Coach Conway and Coach Porter dive into "strength" when it comes to fitness. As 1 of the 10 general physical skills, it takes a high precedent when it comes to competitive advantage in sport and even longevity and fullness of your years in life! Our coaches talk about how to train for strength, when you know you are strong enough, how being high neuromuscular or low neuromuscular effecient matters in Crossfit and how to know what you are. They also talk about this time of year being only 5 weeks out from the Open, where you can best spend your efforts and have the best season you've had yet.

Today Adrian and Chans discuss what it takes to be successful at the CrossFit Games Open. They talk through considerations for athletes who range from beginner to elite and even those not interested in peaking for the Open and why it is still an important benchmark in their season for momentum! What movements you need to get up to snuff on, what kind of schedule you should practice weekly and even the mindset involved to make the spot light a little less bright if you struggle with pressure when it comes time to perform. We hate the Open.....we will see you on the leaderboard.

Today we discuss common injuries in CrossFit and for CrossFit competitors. The episode highlights different ways to recovery, prevent and battle the mindset when comes to injuries. The fitness journey is not linear regardless of your goals, if you stick with training for your life, you will be hurt. That is not bad news, it is just part of the deal. We want you to keep training and keep improving even when you are injured and that is what we guide listeners through today.

If you train alone, follow a program that others aren't following or are simply the most competitive or driven athlete in your area then this episode is for you. Many athletes are the big fish in the small pond and find it difficult to gauge progress, trust their approach to training and even know if they are going hard enough day in and day out to achieve their goals, we help answer all those questions in today's podcast.
