  1. So general question in regards to the programming... I have a legitimate ZERO chance to make it to regionals this year, and slim to none next year. HOWEVER, I know what my weaknesses are.

    One of the biggest issue I face on RX'ing any workout or even doing well is strength. I spent entirely too long today staring at the damn bar before I could do more S2O (13.2). SO, at 5'9" and 165#, I've decided to put on some weight.

    I plan on waiting until after the open is complete, but during the "regionals prep" time, should I stick with the program here, or do a linear strength for 3 months until we get back to the "gonna get hayuge" stage?

    I'd much more enjoy sticking with the programming here, because I thoroughly enjoy it more than any other programming I've done in the past 2.5 years. Just kind of getting a feelers on everyones thoughts on that. Hopefully I made sense. I'm a bit of a rambling mess today.

    1. After the open I would say take the time to work on weaknesses. Being that it is strength, work on gettif stronger. A good program like this can carry you so far, you have to go the extra mile to do what is necessary to make sure you kill your own goats!

    3. Britt, I was listening to their podcast about that, it's what got me thinking about/considering it. I had no idea it was $100 a month though!

  2. What's up guys. Just thought I would say that this programming from Coach B is bad ass. I have been doing some of the training here and there for about a month. I haven't posted to much, but that changes today. I have decide that this is now my programming from now on. There is some high quality athletes following this and its fun to see how people do with this. I have been doing CrossFit for about 6 months and couldn't be more addicted. 13.1 went decent for me with 158... I suck at burpees haha. Doing 13.2 on Sunday and will post about that later. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to being apart of this community! Is anyone else training out of Las Vegas?

  3. Had to abort the 13.2 redo. Mobilized this whole morning, but knee a bit stiff. I think I would've done more harm than good.

    Quite tough to forego, but told myself "There are 3 more battles ahead. 'Win' those and its done."
