Now I have traveled to California twice and visited lots of crossfit boxes. So many have strength or technique training before the wod. That’s great.

But if you don’t have time talking about the lift, and lifting so you get a good strength workout , well then you are just paying lip service to the whole thing.

So today I talked about the bench press. Why it’s not considered to be functional in crossfit , and sometimes weightlifting, and why it is important anyways.

Strength is functional in it self. The bench press is the main exercise for upper body strength. Simply because it allows you the press the most weight.

Then we had 30 minutes after to actually lift. Getting a good strength workout.

So I have decided that from now on we will always have 30 minutes when we are lifting. You need to have time to learn and lift. Not just rush trough it and pretend. We are better than that.
