Also please explain how encouraging the use of scaled forms of exercise that emphasize the eccentric portion of the movement--like jumping negatives--is a good thing in light of the heightened risk of rhabdomyolysis that results from them. |

Re: Elite CrossFit athlete development theory
Well, I would argue that at some point, scaling a mainsite WOD might not be the best way for those "wannabes" to achieve their goals. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean it is the BEST way of doing it. If someone's goal is to do mainsite WODs as Rx'd, then I think in many cases, the best way to achieve that goal is NOT necessarily by doing the scaled version of those WODs.

Re: Elite crossfit athlete development theory
The perfect program is individualized, regardless of final goals, CF Games, any sport/game, general fitness...
As a trainer or affiliate it just seems like common sense that the more you can individualize for your clients the better results they will see. If you don't care or have time or whatever to individualize, then you'll have less individual success with clients obviously. Mainsite is decent, lots of ownus on the individual who is participating to not get in over their heads, assumes a lot, but it is free, when something is free, I have a hard time with complainers...most of us live in capitalist USA, you lose priviledges to complain when you get something for free, just throw it away. I don't see much reason for anyone to counter this, but I've seen it argued before. Arguing this is un-American though, so keep that in mind Commies. ; ) In an affiliate though, where the trainer is paid, or any gym for that manner, the ownus should be split with more responsibility going to the paid trainer. |

Re: Elite crossfit athlete development theory
Well, if there wasn't the community aspect to CF I think you'd see every affiliate without any leeway for individualizing programming to suffer...But with the community aspect, sometimes folks are paying the membership prices for reasons simliar to the way guys do at premier golf clubs, You are IN, and you have like minded folks around you, everyone knows your name, and they're all glad you came...ya know.
