Maybe this is why i was so slow on the run… This is my 2lb steak, pre-games meal.

So what do the games tell us about the future of crossfit training?

To be quite honest i don’t see any need to change what i have been doing. If i were to compete next year i would continue what i did before the 09 games. That boils down to weightlifting followed by metcon between 2 and 15 minutes. Yes thats what i enjoy but also what i feel will build the best all around fitness in the shortest amount of time. We can discuss this later if there are any questions.

Because of the broad exposure at the crossfit games both in movements and in time i don’t see any reason to change what you are doing. Provided you are doing what i recommend… ;-) You need to be strong and fast.

Obviously if you train off of cf.com you will have been exposed to the same stuff you will be tested with but i think each individual athlete has their own weaknesses. I think it would be better to keep an eye on .com and adjust your training if you see any glaring weaknesses. For example: Snatch, muscle ups or running.

    I like how they provide you with two pieces of asparagus to compliment your two pounds of beef.
