Program design is an art, there’s so many variables when it comes to building a program. Fatigue principles, intensity prescriptions, internal and external stress, time, athlete experience, injuries, the list goes on and on. If you’re serious about reaching your highest potential, which I’m sure you are if you’re reading this, I’m here to tell you that your piecemail program is killing that potential.

There’s so many options out there for you as an athlete. My goal here is to help you pick the right choice for your ability level and your wallet. Finding the best fit for you will keep you consistent, and consistency is more times than not the thing that’s stopping you from achieving your goals. First what I’ll do is summarize each and then we’ll get into more of the specifics of choosing what’s right for you…

As more and more Masters athletes come to Conquer, the more I see how a large portion of the Masters community is working off old ideas and principles when it comes to training. Addressing the Masters athletes out there - I don’t fault you for it, it’s just what’s been/being offered to you. Read more.

Some coaches out there like to think that their information is under lock and key and they would never consider sharing thoughts or tips with other coaches or their clients. This, to me, is the sign of an immature coach. This field is only where it is today from those who paved the way before us and shared all their information with those who came after them. For that matter, it is up to us to pave the way for those who are following in our footsteps and will bring our field into the next stage!

Let’s start by defining what a training template is. This is a program that someone writes and it is followed by a group of people. A training template is not individualized, and it is usually based on a single person or avatar. The person or group that is following the template will all be performing the same training sessions as everyone else on the program.

What I want to go through are the pros and cons, as well as what to look for when you are shopping around.

In this day and age, information is not the issue. The issue is being able to decipher between all the marketing bullshit you see each day.

This also applies to finding an online CrossFit coach. You can open up your computer and whoever has the biggest marketing dollars behind them will probably be flooding your inbox with advertisements and name drops.

It seems to me that “Individual Design” is actually becoming a buzz word lately. I say that because there are a lot of programs that specialize in templates now putting focus to Individual Design. Although this concept has been around forever, even before James Fitzgerald popularized it, with good reason, it’s still relatively newer in the CrossFit world.

When you are working online with a training program or coach (hopefully the latter if you have specific goals), it is important to keep your eye on these four indirect components of your training plan to yield the greatest return.

That’s right folks, there is one thing you are missing as you ascend up the ladder of competitive fitness. You might be thinking to yourself, “this dude is nuts.” “There is no way I am missing anything.” “I have a coach, and he/she makes sure I am doing everything I need to do.” Well, if you are reading this, then you might have a small speckle of doubt within your training.

There is one concept that is rarely talked about, yet when it is adhered to can lend, arguably, the biggest hand in growth. This is the concept of recovery credits.

The short answer to this is yes. Champions do follow online Crossfit Training. What we see as the sport grows is a need for expert coaches and programs that are written for the top 1% in order for those athletes to reach their fullest potential. For this blog, I will outline a few things that help athletes reach their fullest potential through online CrossFit Training.

There are many debates as to the effectiveness of online CrossFit training. As with anything out there, you can find both the pros and the cons. I am in the camp that sides with the effectiveness of online CrossFit training. So, the question is, why do I think this? Simply put, professionals. I believe that online CrossFit training is the future due to the constant growth of professional programmers/coaches.

I am sure this is a question that every company out there can answer, or at least think they can answer. I will take this time to outline a few attributes that we deliver from EVERY coach in our program. These are the things that you cannot put a finger on, or explain in a discovery call. These are the things that go unnoticed or not be talked about, but are what truly drives the ship for Conquer as well as athlete development on the whole.
