CrossFit To Hybrid Training Shift
- Ben notes many CrossFit athletes shifted to hybrid strength and running rather than Pilates directly.
- He suggests this reflects stepping away from extreme intensity toward more manageable routines.
Balance Three Strength Modalities
- In strength training, cycle explosive power, absolute strength, and muscular endurance.
- Train explosive moves once weekly, absolute strength at >70% three times, and muscular endurance multiple times.
