It’s halfway through June here in the desert of Arizona, and it’s already unbelievably nasty outside. With that being said, what motivates you to get up, go to the gym, and get shit done? Or conversely, what makes you stay home, pop open a bag of fritos and love them like Kanye loves himself?

Programming should be done in an intelligent manner. The days of throwing random movements on the board are, or should be, long gone. There's a better way to do it! Through goal oriented programming that balances movement structures, and metabolic pathways.

Well planned and thoughtful CrossFit is the best way to maintain, and create GPP(General Physical Preparedness).

As time goes by, I've realized that I don't have enough room in a class session to share all of the information I'd like to about training. Hopefully this will become and easy way to centralize and catalyze a base of knowledge that will speed up the learning curve and stymie the trap of someone metaphorically spinning his or her tires in a training regimen. Much of this information will pertain to the training I’ve programmed - but some of it will be based off of my personal experiences when striving for success in the lifting world and my own personal methodology gained in my years of training.
