Conquer Athlete has developed a MMA Fitness Program that will build combat sports athletes up, increase their strength, power and conditioning, and allow them to show their skills in the cage or ring.

Many people ask if remote CrossFit coaching is right for them. So I made a list of questions that if you answer “yes” to one or more than one of the following, then yes, remote CrossFit coaching (with a good company and coaches who have had extensive experience and success with remote Individual Design Coaching) is right for you.

A key aspect to writing a good program is to have a sound understanding of the principles around strength and conditioning - so that you can always provide what is needed for that person to make the right progress.

Here are the five principles that you can apply to any athlete, in any field, and if you follow them, you can set your client up for success over time.

In the world of CrossFit the word “Open” can strike fear and excitement all at once into everyone who is registered to compete in this years 2022 CrossFit Season. Hopefully at this point everyone who is participating is within their final stages of training to ensure that they are in the best position possible to have a fun CrossFit Open season. Now, with that being said, there are still some principles around competing that sometimes get overlooked. Good thing for you Conquer has just the thing.

Below are my ten reasons that you should look into doing a good individual design program to reach your goals (in no particular order). 

We have created a Wodapalooza Strategy Guide to help you take the first steps to prepare for travel, recovery, between-event recovery, nutrition, warm ups, game planning, and more.

I wanted to get this thought down on paper as I have been seeing and listening to more and more people talk about things that they don’t fully understand, and thus they grab onto it with little-to-no research and start to run wild with it. What I want to quickly mention in this article deals with the usage of cold therapy and how it is being, in my opinion, mishandled.

I am sure that if I were to ask you what you need to do to improve your abilities for the New Year, you could rattle off twenty different principles or methods to implement that you feel could give you an edge. Hopefully, by now, anyone who is training has someone who is overseeing some aspect of what they are doing (especially if you have particular goals) and is providing you a road map to get there. So, for this article, I wanted to talk about five “unconventional” habits that I think everyone should do. The crazy part is, that if you do perform these habits, I have no doubt you will become better.

Wodapalooza is upon us! We are now five weeks out from the throwdown in Miami. This timeframe marks the final push for a competitive training block within a program. So I want to talk about three things you can start to think about as you plan out your training or your athlete’s training.

Some coaches out there like to think that their information is under lock and key and they would never consider sharing thoughts or tips with other coaches or their clients. This, to me, is the sign of an immature coach. This field is only where it is today from those who paved the way before us and shared all their information with those who came after them. For that matter, it is up to us to pave the way for those who are following in our footsteps and will bring our field into the next stage!

Let’s start by defining what a training template is. This is a program that someone writes and it is followed by a group of people. A training template is not individualized, and it is usually based on a single person or avatar. The person or group that is following the template will all be performing the same training sessions as everyone else on the program.

What I want to go through are the pros and cons, as well as what to look for when you are shopping around.

In this day and age, information is not the issue. The issue is being able to decipher between all the marketing bullshit you see each day.

This also applies to finding an online CrossFit coach. You can open up your computer and whoever has the biggest marketing dollars behind them will probably be flooding your inbox with advertisements and name drops.

According to Brian Cain in his Mental Performance Mastery Certification Course, there are ten steps to developing a high caliber mind. I want to talk about the first, which is having an elite mindset (outlook). In the simplest terms, your mindset is how you perceive your world and yourself. For that matter, two people can look at the same thing and view it differently. This different perception can totally make or break some people, depending on if the perception is positive or negative.

What is the secret sauce in training? Well, for many of us it’s strength. Yes, for the sport of CrossFit, you will find the age-old debate around what is the “price of admission” - strength or endurance. The correct answer is “yes”.

It seems to me that “Individual Design” is actually becoming a buzz word lately. I say that because there are a lot of programs that specialize in templates now putting focus to Individual Design. Although this concept has been around forever, even before James Fitzgerald popularized it, with good reason, it’s still relatively newer in the CrossFit world.

When you are working online with a training program or coach (hopefully the latter if you have specific goals), it is important to keep your eye on these four indirect components of your training plan to yield the greatest return.

That’s right folks, there is one thing you are missing as you ascend up the ladder of competitive fitness. You might be thinking to yourself, “this dude is nuts.” “There is no way I am missing anything.” “I have a coach, and he/she makes sure I am doing everything I need to do.” Well, if you are reading this, then you might have a small speckle of doubt within your training.

Clients are always searching for the next great way to improve their fitness. Oftentimes, they do not realize that the optimal way to improve their fitness is already within them.

There is one concept that is rarely talked about, yet when it is adhered to can lend, arguably, the biggest hand in growth. This is the concept of recovery credits.
