The big critique of CrossFit is the fact that you're pushing somebody to their extreme.

They're beyond their work capacity and then they're just chasing the reps or just trying to lift the

weight up and that's when you need the sensible coaching coming in so they're

either scaling the workout or they're decreasing the weight on the bar or the

height of the box jump and that's probably not going on as much as it should do and obviously working with

the Russian weightlifter you could see that the first rep was as good as the last

rep and that's that's probably when the crossfit needs to go and needs to be a bit stricter in what it's doing.

But again, we've got this blowbath approach versus the functional relearning, motor relearning,

do we just do make sure we're perfect, an immaculate

before we even attend the technique, or do we just do the technique and tidy it up as we go?

And I think the truth will lie somewhere in the middle there. Welcome to Living 4D with Paul Check. Today's guest is British physiotherapist and ex Royal

Marines Commander Dale Walker. Dale is the co-founder of Bulletproof Bodies

an Extreme Sports Physiotherapy Service in the UK

that specializes in injury prevention and management for extreme sports

such as Cross Fit and military athletes.

He has served in the British military for 22 years both regular and reserve as a Royal

Marine's commando and British Army Physiotherapy Officer.

He is also a lecturer in Physiotherapy at the University of Salford.

Stay tuned to the end of this episode for a free gift from Dale.

All right, well, Dale Walker, welcome to Living 4D.

We're just talking about when we first met in 2001 which seems like a long time ago now.

Yeah, a long while ago. Yeah and it's exciting to have you on the podcast.
