girlfriend put me in charge of the aux.
So I played hey there delilah by plain white t's. Waited for her to get deep into song and right as she hits a passionate high note...immediately switch to Crank That Soulja Boy.

She was absolutely blindsided.

"They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" sounds really good

BUT

High performers value competence & results as much as your soft skills

Never forget that the relationship is a vehicle for the results you promise

My program called for zercher squats today so I simply did not do them.

My favorite part about spotting the clean is when you go from having one person in danger to two people in danger

Double the danger, double the gains

[Joseph Boyd @coachjoeboyd]

It's 2026.

Why am I still seeing videos of HS football coaches spotting the clean?

Either teach and train it correctly or don't do it. Pretty simple.

Stop helping a kid clean 225 just so you can say you have a certain # of players that can. He can either catch it or he can't.

Longform S&C content on YouTube has surpassed the value provided on the app formerly known as Twitter by impressive margins

[Cody Hughes @clh_strength]

Is this app completely dead for S&C now?

RIP 2019-2021 S&C Twitter

Something I learned very recently (today)
If you try to book a one way car rental with Enterprise, every location in North Carolina is suddenly sold out

If you change to round trip, suddenly not sold out

[Alan Cole @AlanMCole]

Rental car companies seem so insanely helpless at their one job. You show up at the airport, reservation in hand, and they’re like “wait really? You wanted a car? Sorry, you totally caught me off guard.”

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

Jiu Jitsu is about starting a rivalry with a training partner that's younger and more athletic than you. You then constantly make memes of them in the group chat as psychological warfare to level the playing field

THAT is Jiu Jitsu

[Drewlock @drewlock]

Jiu Jitsu is more about self reflection than self defense.

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

@coachchriskerr We use Marrs Bars pretty often. We've never had any issues with the bar on hand supported variations - bilateral or unilateral.

The one big thing is that you have to let the bar settle, some people instinctually shrug into it and can make it feel less stable

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

@nutritionbymike I work w/ the tactical population where the CrossFit name is popular

My approach is typically:

1) what do you think about CrossFit
2) what are the pieces you like/dislike
3) does that opinion make your current program less effective in relation to your goals & abilities

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

CrossFit is not a training method, it is a business model that uses concurrent training methods

The way the training is adapted to make a profit is typically what creates problems

Concurrent training is awesome when done well but can also be a complete disaster

[StrengthCoachNetwork @StrCoachNetwork]

This is great stiff @Tyry202

Wanna do a segment together on why CrossFit might be the best thing S&C coaches aren’t doing with their athletes?

For some reason S&C coaches steal from Westside, track and field, Olympic lifting, etc…but not CrossFit.

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

@DelawareTrackXC I think the problem lies with semantics

CrossFit the business

CrossFit the sport

And the umbrella term used to describe methods that CrossFit employs

When we are saying we should or shouldn't do "CrossFit"

What are we actually saying? The language matters

[Daniel Disney @CoachDanDisney]

@StrCoachNetwork I understand the point you're making

I just think it's important that we highlight things that are uniquely CrossFit vs things that are just good training practice that existed well before CrossFit for the sake of educating the end user on pros & cons
