Ep 798: Welbourn vs CrossFit - The Smackdown


Listen Later

The internet thrives on drama, but true strength isn't just about lifting, it's about cutting through the noise.


In this exclusive Q&A, John Welbourn and Arash Soofiani set the record straight on athletic performance. Does CrossFit's work capacity model actually translate to sports? Where do most athletes go wrong with General Physical Preparedness (GPP) vs. sport-specific training? And why is training in a straight line holding you back?


If you're done with keyboard coaches and want raw, unfiltered insights from an NFL veteran and elite coach, this episode is for you. Tune in now.
