Weightlifting in the Sport of CrossFit with Sam Smith The Mindset Advantage

    • Mental Health

This week on The MiFit Podcast I bring back friend and mentor, Sam Smith. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Arizona for vacation and had some time to workout at Opex Hq and hangout with Sam. In today’s episode Sam and I took a deeper dive how weightlifting is expressed in the sport of CrossFit and how we as coaches can help our athletes progress weightlifting in such a chaotic sport. If you enjoy learning about the nuances of programming then this episode is for you.
Topics
-Difference between Weightlifting and CrossFit as a sport
-Pre-requisites of building your snatch and clean and jerk
-How strong do you need to be?
-Using structural balance to determine an athletes needs
-Progressing an athlete from a non-fatigued state to fatigued state
-Barbell cycling in the sport of CrossFit
