SMART MOVE INSIDER

In this episode, we answer the first question from our Smart Move community: When you're an athlete between levels, how do you choose the right weights in metcons? Should you scale down to maintain good form and fast intensity, or scale up and accept going slower but heavier?

We break down what it really takes to move from one level to the next—showing up consistently, training strength with intention, and understanding that saving energy by going too light in the strength portion won't pay off long-term. We talk about when to push, when to scale smart, and how using different scaling options can accelerate your progress.

A practical, actionable conversation for any athlete who feels "in between levels" and wants to get better, faster.

In this episode, Sergiu and Bart dive into one of the most common questions in CrossFit: "Why do I still get sore after months of training?"

They break down what muscle soreness actually is, why it happens, and whether it's a good sign or not. You'll also learn how CrossFit constantly challenges your body — through intensity, load, and time — to keep you from ever fully adapting to the stimulus.

Plus, why sometimes a short break from training might be exactly what your body needs.

Short, practical, and grounded in real experience — this 15-Min AMRAP gives you the clarity to train smarter, not just harder.
