2026 Quarterfinals: The good, bad and ugly!

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.

2026 CrossFit Open: What did we learn?

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?

26.2 Deep dive: "Not so......grip and rip"

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!
