Today Coach jumps back into the Q and A pool. The first topic is how to maximize recovery. There is a lot to unpack so get your pen pads ready and of course be ready for a rant on the basic things that you are likely not even doing well. If we can sum this up it is simply, do better.

A listener asks about not getting great results, maybe lack luster motivation.....but the real lesson comes from what they are doing outside of the gym, and the intensity at which their training is being attacked. My advice is simple, do CrossFit the way it was designed to be done, first and foremost prioritizing nutrition! Then reducing fluff volume and attacking daily programming headlong. After doing this for sometime, then playing with accessories if good stuff doesn't follow then you may not being folowing great programming or being coached well. Results should be a part of all of our training, an expectation and a biproduct of our hardwork. First question yourself, your nutrition, your focus on training and your lifestyle choices, when those are dialed then question the program.

Today Adrian answers a concern about when programming is bad or perhaps a gym is being run/ lead in a bad way, and how it reflects the rest of the CrossFit community. The original question was great and brought concerns about gyms/ programmers who focus too much on the competitve aspect of the methodology and it takes away from the quality experience/ stimulus to workouts that others (the majority) experience.

Today Coach responds to one of the CrossFit affiliate owner questions from a few weeks ago. The question was simply, how to get more members and how to keep the ones you've got. While Coach is not currently in the affiliate space as an owner, he knows what it takes to keep people and grow a business. His advice may be the kind you have heard before but it will work if you can master it.
Today coach gives a quick lesson how CrossFit can be applied and how it should be applied with specialized athletes. Time of year, style of CrossFit used, and proper application of mechanics, consistency and intensity are all primary considerations that must be made working with any athlete and it applies with specialists most.
