Conditioning: Different, took it easy on a class workout…still no energy and don’t know why.
Also, this article is awesome. I love a coach (person) that can get down to freaking point. That doesn’t beat around the bush. Who doesn’t care about fucking rainbows and lollipops. Who doesn’t cheer because of a “good try”. I want a coach that tells you what you’re doing wrong and fucking knowledgeable to fix it. Someone who goes to seminars to get smarter. Someone who reads articles and books to better teach his clients.
Not a box that just tells you what is written on the board. Not someone who can’t tell you a single cue on a C2B nor the use of arch/hollow position. Not someone who has no clue on how to better stabilize in a OHS.
Sadly, that’s basically where I go to…..And the only reason was I payed for the year membership when I first got started in Crossfit and leavning in Oct. And honestly there is one guy there fitter than me that I want to beat so badly (and have in a few workouts). BUT I follow Outlaw strength portion and just do conditioning with them because they don’t have a strength cycle. They base their daily WODs and “cycles” on what they think their clients need that day. Not what they need for 8 weeks at time, but that day. They grab from Invictus, Power and Grace, Outlaw, etc. with no competitor programming or class.
And that’s what has led me to Outlaw to get stronger and better. Go to Rufus (oly coach) to actually learn how to weightlift, look up and watch every single one of Brian Mackenzie’s Skills and Drills for Running/Cycling/Swimming for endurance and my triathlon training. Look up and get Foundation 1 and 2 from Christopher Sommer. And lead me into so much more research is from my pretty bad crossfit coaching experience.
So in a way I thank them for not just giving me this information so I can learn it some of it on my own. But I sure would like that asshole giving me info and drive every single day to be a better fucking athlete.
I’m not the best writer or internet troll. But this rant was very necessary for me haha! Carry on.
