and I agree with new people programming crazy crap – no thought process, just throw it at the wall and hope it sticks – no long term goals, no short term goals, no periodization (oh no – I said the P word), nothing but random = poor programming. They don’t take the time to come up with a plan. And that sucks. I have my trainers make out their programming and I try to tell them to follow the same advice you give, but they just can’t do it – so I’m taking the programming back.

Thank you for the advice

I, as a CrossFit box / gym owner agree 100% with you.

Dedicated strength work or olympic lifts, followed by a very short (5-12 minute) conditioning is the optimum for getting strong, powerful, and fit. Sometimes (maybe once a week) a longer, 20 minute metcon is good for endurance. Chippers – occassionally. And the fact that you can mix in tons of different exercises or variations should hopefully limit overuse injuries.

Great article.
