S8E223: Crossfit Quarterfinal / Semifinal Programming Analysis
Episode 223
Monday, 18 May, 2026
We break down the age group quarterfinals and semifinals with Bobby Wallam and ask what those tests really reward. We land on a clear takeaway: the workouts are fine on their own, but the season feels repetitive in time domains, loading, and key separators. • blending coaching, programming, and competing to sharpen decisions and cues • reframing injuries as constraints that can improve weaknesses and mindset • redundancy across tests and why variance matters for fair sport programming • why three-week testing can reward luck more than completeness • the case for mixing for time, for reps, and for loads across a season • time domains explained and why missing long tests changes who advances • strength testing options beyond a one rep max and how caps distort results • why light loads still matter for speed, technique, and high-level racing • repeated separators like strict handstand push-ups and what gets left untested Be on the lookout for next week's episode.
