  • Question

    Of the 10 fitness principles, tell me why strength isn’t the foundation for all others. If it is, then strength should be primary and the focus the majority of the time. You cannot balance without strength. You have no power without strength. You cannot have endurance without strength. Etc..

    I would like to hear your thoughts.

  • We love your show!

    My wife and I look forward to your podcasts and listen to them as we do low grade movement (walking) and zone 2 cardio. We are avid cross-fitters and my wife also coaches (level 1). I need to renew my level 1. CrossFit has profoundly impacted our lives for the better. We love the choice of topics and the guests you have on your show. A thought perhaps for some future guests? Casey and Calley Means authors of Good Energy and part of a group of founders of Levels? Keep up the wonderful work!

  • C4

    Since I was in Aviation during my time in the US Marine Corps I never saw this personally but I always heard you could burn C4 or hit it with a hammer but you couldn’t do both it at the same time. I have heard both Pat and Boz separately and they are good. However together they are absolutely informative and inspiring to hear.

    Thanks

  • Favorite Podcast on Methodology!

    I happened across this podcast while looking for new content and it quickly became my favorite.

    Pat and Boz are brilliant - truly some of the best methodology and programming minds in the space. I’ve learned more about Crossfit from this podcast than everywhere else combined - methodology, what CrossFit is all about, how competition can skew things and what really matters, how to integrate CrossFit with life (the ones on staying fit through becoming a parent have been a lifesaver), what the ro... more
