The design in crafting of workouts is CrossFit's primary concern.

Programming matters for those reasons, athlete development and coach development.

If you have a squat clean as your strength portion of today's workout,

and then you're going to go and do Diane deadlifts and handstand push-ups,

that person that's been there for a week has got to learn a squat clean,

they've got to learn a deadlift, and they've got to learn a handstand pushup.

At that point, you're no longer coaching. Instead, you're just managing.

When you look at safety, efficacy, and efficiency, the best gyms are the ones that...

We're back, CrossFit podcast live stream this week talking about how you can never add too much to your programming, right?

More is always better until it's not.

And I have an awesome group to discuss this this week.

Obviously, the hostess with the mostest, Denise Thomas, morning, Darth Romero.

Jen Green, hey. Oh, Jen. What's up?

We got Spencer Hendel on here, and I'll let him, I'll go around. And we also got Joe

Alexander returning from last week to lend his massive intellectual prowess

to keep us on the rails. But I think today we're talking about programming, volume.

I'm a big fan of this topic because I always feel like there's this vein right now in the

CrossFit space. Maybe it's died down a little bit. But there's like a vein of programming doesn't matter. Only coaching matters. And I feel like if programming, this isn't the best argument, but I feel like if programming didn't matter, we wouldn't talk about it so damn much. And if programming didn't matter, I'd probably just do Zoom ball all the time because, you know,

it's a lot easier than what I did this morning during Open Gym.

And you're a phenomenal dancer, James.

I know, it's crazy.

They don't lie.
