    So I've been listening to podcast and reading about programming and I feel like a common theme is the idea if you want to make regionals or win local comps you need to have not only a good coach but someone programming specifically for you and your weaknesses. I think this programming is great and in the short time I've been here I have def improved. I'm wondering since this is still programming for no one person in particular if anyone has made regionals following this blog or is their some truth to the u need to have someone programming specifically for u. thanks everyone.

      You pose an interesting question. One I would be interested in having people sound off on.

      I have made regionals 3 years in a row ... I made it to the games in 2011... first full year of Crossfit... I only recently started working more individualized programming... so in short... Yes! you can make regionals with this blog! I have Been a fan of Ben and heather for as long as I can remember and was following his regular programming before he even had this. he used to simply add some extra work for competitors to his box blog. I think making regionals takes a mindset and determination. attack every workout like its standing between u and regionals ... I do think it's important for u to take the time to reflect on your own personal limitations and find ways to work them in (under no fatigue) to get better at them.

      I think if you have the resources to hire a coach of Bens caliber and have him program for you personally, theoretically its going to be definitely better than CompWod.

      However, here are some considerations.

      You may be training alone the majority of the time as your coach is only programming for you. As in my case, my training partner and I have very opposite strengths and weaknesses, he pushes me in metcons, I push him in the oly lifts and most strength stuff. If he was only programing for my weaknesses, my training partner would probably get bored and maybe stray off onto something else. Also training alone does not yield intensity, you know and I know, when we have someone to chase, or someone that is chasing you, your likely to downshift and hit the gas.

      The other thing to remember is, Ben is a world class coach. This isn't conjecture thought up in a backroom somewhere, this is stuff he has used and has worked. He's sent teams to the games, he's sent individuals, and correct me if I am wrong, he and his wife have both been games athletes. I have seen huge, huge, gains in my overall fitness. Not just one area, but all of them which challenged conventional wisdom of the idea that you have to stop metconing to get stronger. Not true my friend, you have to change your approach to your metcons, how they are designed and programmed, not stop doing them.

      My final thought is, we as athletes have to take some responsibility for ourselves as well. We know what we suck at, and we know what we're good at. I have a weak aerobic base. I row and air dyne more than he prescribes and that has been great. I just make sure I eat more to ensure I am not at a caloric deficit at the end of the day so the strength stuff keeps going up. I used to row 8 500 Repeats with 1m rest, they'd usually start around 1:43 and end around 1:50, I did that workout last week and they started around 1:37 and ended around 1:44. I find myself only failing in metcons due to muscle fatigue now and not my lungs. I'm never really gasping for air. So that being said, he's giving you an incredible template to work with, and supplying phenomenal workouts, but you may need to do some slight tailoring to your ability/weakness etc.

      Long story short, outside of having Ben program for you personally, Compwod is the next best option.

    I didn't end up doing any of today's programming, but I did get a workout in.

    We had a memorial WOD in memory of someone very close to a lot of people at our box that passed away over the weekend.

    The WOD was: 1 minute of silence followed by 59 minutes of rowing, rest when needed.

    This kindof worked with today being rowing heavy, but it was definitely more emotional than physical today.

    I have no yardage to report, it was a somber morning.

      PM -

      1. Did this at home. No rower so we replaced that with a 400M run. Also, did it with a buddy and only had one box so BJ were definitely slower. 11:45 total. Not sure on my last attempt, but it wouldn't really matter because we rowed and did this at our local box and had our own boxes.

      2. Again, no rower so we made a fun little game with the airdyne. 1 of us did 1 mile on a bicycle, the other did tabatas on my air dyne while the other was on the bike. Did 3 rounds of this. Brutal.

    Had to change up a little, as I train at home and don't have a rower yet, so went to local global gym, but disappointed to see no box jumps there. So I did as follows:

    2 x 2000 m row at 7:28, 7:41
    went home and did metcon with 400m run instead of row: 11:15
    8 OTM TTB and 20 DU, did it, but fell behind the last 3, just kept plugging until done
