- I have a question about this episode 131R | Building a Brick in Your Wall and this Community and Accountability. I completely agree with your take on CrossFit. I coach at a local box and felt very underqualified to teach some of the Olympic lifts after taking my L1. I’ve sought out my own additional training to feel somewhat qualified. I follow your programming but dabble in CrossFit when a workout catches my interest. Our gym uses one of the top CrossFit programmers globally, but recently they programmed a heavy one-rep max deadlift session with a 10-minute time cap following an insufficient warmup, which I found reckless and had to adjust. This is just one example of the questionable programming I’ve seen. What are your thoughts on managing these situations while still respecting the programming and maintaining the integrity of the gym’s approach?
