Top left- you all know that a foundational definition of CrossFit is that it is constantly varied, functional movement executed at high intensity. Top right- you know that we have 2 classes each week that are focused on improving a single movement (strength class on Mon/Wed 6pm) for a 4 week period and that, by definition, seems to run counter to how CrossFit was just defined. In the case of this past April it was all about the SQUAT Bottom left: yet within the dedicated strength program there does exist quite a bit of variation in the training method- yet it WAS definitely simply about the squat. Bottom right: and Megan’s efforts across the month of April yielded an 11kg PR. That is a HUGE PR considering the fact that she is a dedicated strength and conditioning athlete attending 6-8 training sessions each week.
The question is: Was Megan’s success a result of CrossFit?
