@jakesmith99 I know this is counter to the “hopper theory” of CrossFit, but honestly if you’re training exclusively CrossFit, you probably won’t be great at bench. Bench press is counter intuitive to the Olympic lifts, if I remember correctly it was Lu who said he explicitly doesn’t train them...

@mksamas At the end of the day there are going to be skills you need to work on outside the gym, and if you don’t, you won’t see results. Mobility in movements with Olympic lifts will require extra time outside the gym.

@brian7377 Then you've got the tools - You've got this! CrossFit is not just meant to be a fitness methodology, it's meant to give you the tools to be the healthiest person you can be. This happens in the gym and out of it.

@mormonbro Love that you’re taking over S and C for the high school! I helped run our local summer program the last couple of years and it was awesome getting to work with those students. I don’t have much in terms of advice for equipment.

@cgmezmer Same my dude, same.

@pdbcm Realistically you changed your diet more than you think you did if you’re gaining weight.

@brian7377 Fitness happens in the gym, weight loss happens in the kitchen. I lost 110lbs, and i had to learn through years of trying to work it off in a gym that it comes from the kitchen. Also, disciple begets motivation, not the other way around. Stop looking for motivation, and just start...

@cgmezmer Realistically CF shouldn’t do bench press, especially if Olympic weightlifting is going to be the strength category of choice. Bench will impact and effect your RoM on overhead presses and jerks. In the grand scheme of programming, Linda is a bit of a bizarre workout for CF.

@stairesdustin86 He will specifically mention in the notes “for time, or not”. Sometimes he doesn’t give the option, it’s just a for quality workout.

@onedayworthy Not snarky at all! Just quoting Pat on why he’d say he isn’t traditional CrossFit. I’ve been doing LP since June of last year and I will sing its praises all day long, he does an incredible job programming

@gertlush That's a bummer. I bought the trainers and had a great experience buying them and I've loved them enough to also purchase their runners.

@onedayworthy Pat - “but I program not for time WoDs!” LP community - “and we love you for it coach.”

@chibisensei21 I wouldn't over think the number on the scale. Calculate out your TDEE, eat in a 200-400 cal surplus and make sure you're body is moving in a direction you want it to. Don't go crazy and "dirty" bulk, it's not worth it, just introduce some more calorie dense food.

@ektar74 One below a CF L6

@jeffhairston I mean, I’m not doing the open expecting anything but to test my fitness. And it was programmed. And i love my programming and trust it (even when it’s Fran lol)

@cnghello I just did Fran yesterday. Pain.

@goodolchristiangal Bingo! Highly recommend Catalyst's beginners programs for WL. I believe they have a 3 day a week track.

@nikkimarie Realistically you won’t get very far adding one day a week in. If you want to improve your weightlifting, I suggest taking an 8-12 week block and focus on weightlifting 3-5 days a week.

@kennybest I loved that Will decided to do that rather than do the lulPULLUPSlul bit that a lot of fitness influencers outside the CF world do. I've been watching Will for a long time now, I thought this video was way better than his previous CF video.
