Everyone comes into CrossFit with different training experience, but what should it look like when someone is strength training as a beginner, progressing through to intermediate and advanced levels?

In this episode we discuss the different phases, along with the appropriate training methods and styles of programming to use at each stage.

Having a clear path and approach will help you navigate someone's strength development over the long term, ensuring they are not making quick gains that plateau early.

This is more than just building the correct foundation. It is about understanding what an athlete needs at different points in their training career.
