  • Wish I had known this years ago

    This podcast is so unbelievably rich with information it’s shocking - and Coach Pat gives it all away for free.

    Looking back it’s crazy how much time I’ve wasted chasing nonsense and not doing the simple things that move the needle. No more - Linchpin has made all the difference.

  • Awesome show

    Honest, authentic and informational. Pat Sherwood is the best and the fantastic information he provides for free is unmatched. Love this show! Way better information than the very expensive ACE certification I paid for many years ago to become a coach before I knew better/found Crossfit

  • If you’re into improving, listen

    Just a few of my takeaways from listening to this podcast:

    Consistency is key.

    Put a brick in the wall every day.

    Do what is effective not popular.

    Put in the work because it’s what we do, not to impress others or have awesome instagram posts.

    Scaling is cool.

    Coffee is the way.

Both options yield intensity, which drives results, whether one chooses to rest or do a set of five first.
