S8E231: What YOU can get from the Crossfit Games
Monday, 17 August, 2026

We connect the CrossFit Games to real training at the affiliate, using the weekend’s biggest lessons to expose what actually drives progress for everyday CrossFitters. We dig into nutrition, recovery, pacing, mindset, and healthy competition so you can train harder with fewer setbacks and more purpose. • Why Day One at the Games proves you cannot outwork poor nutrition • Hydration, summer routines, and alcohol as hidden recovery killers • Recovery as a skill you can build like any lift • What affiliate athletes can learn from how Games athletes pace • Staying locked in mentally instead of chasing misery mid-workout • How outside noise and side-by-side racing ruins pacing • Using inspiration wisely without adding reckless training volume • “Unsexy” work that raises your ceiling: strict strength and technique drilling • Negative splits as a simple tool for smarter intensity • Competition as data and intention, not just beating others Be on the lookout for next week's episode.
