Another week down in Regionals and this was an exciting one. It brought to mind what it really takes for any of us to be the very best at something. The risk vs. reward, sacrifices we have to make, and how it applies to us being the best version of ourselves in and out of the gym. Doug and Chris hash through the topic after finding out how possibly unprepared Chris is for this dirt bike race. Plus, who is Loni Anderson again?

Join Chris and Doug as they recap the first week of Regionals. Chris had a chance to help out at athlete in the South and got the scoop both behind the scenes with time between workouts, prep routines, and staying mentally present. Of course they get off topic, have some technical issues, and even ask what McGuyver is up to these days?

Doug and Chris get a bit off track as usual this week. Jumping right into some of the stereotypes of CrossFitters, elite athletes in general, and what can seem silly at times. Regionals is here though and much of the conversation revolves around what these athletes are prepping for, how they should be doing it, and what some of the veterans will be doing. Plus, how do "stainless steel" pans stain?

Regionals Events have been released... at least some of them. Doug and Chris walk through some of their thoughts on what we have seen so far as well as the mental approach athletes should be having with just a week away of competition for many. Competing to win, what that looks like over the entire weekend, and when you know a workout isn't in your wheelhouse. Doug fires away the questions.

This week Chris and Doug walk through some of the ways we can develop as a coach. Many of us look to put a check in the box but it's much more in that. How can we be invested as a coach, develop our craft, and become a true professional? Listen in on our take.

The Age Group Online Qualifier is over and there were some crazy performances from all age groups. Doug and Chris talk through some of the performances, the programming this year, and may even help with a bit of perspective that can help those of you in this category

The Open is over!!! Many made the cut to regionals but a number of people didn’t that some of us may have expected to see there. Doug and Chris run through some of the names and their take on the Open. Was it fair, does it matter for the very fittest? Plus, take a trip […]

This week Chris and Doug are a bit all over the place… surprise. They answer questions from one of their reviews on when to go from competitive training to GPP, the handstand push up standard that gave some athletes headaches, and what the next cycle of programming is going to look like for Icon.
