    Intensity = HP, or doing more work in less time Volume = weight x reps x sets Just so we are all clear and don't keep confusing the two Crossfit, Powerlifting, or whatever, it doesn't change the definition How do you do more sets in less time? Have you even been reading this thread? Or just...

    And where did I say you should spend more time in the gym? Adding sets doesn't always mean more time, I think you are really hung up on this. Where did I say adding kgs to the bar isn't key? No, it's not about about tonnage, that's why my 3 sets = 4000kgs, and my 4 sets = 4000kgs, it's the same...

    I'm not sure you have answered my question. In the above example you have increase the volume to double. You've added weight and increase sets. I agree with intensity being relative to the individual, but it still something that can be measured and is important in training. Intensity isn't a...

    Is this something you take into consideration before starting an exercise program? To be honest it's not something I really give consideration to and am usually more interested injuries week to week and use that as a guide of what to expect down the track

    What sort of statistics would you expect to see? I'm sure we could draw a curve and predict with the current data we have, and I'd guess it would look similar to powerlifting and weightlifting.

    But intensity can be defined as more work in less time, no? So if I do 8 sets of 10 reps at 50kgs faster than I do 4 sets of 10 reps at 100kgs, have I not increased intensity?

    How can argue with the prescription of "Mechanic, Consistency and Intensity" in that order, Crossfit 101. Learn the movement, perform it consistently, add some intensity. Does this happen? No. Is it Crossfits fault? No. Would more training for coaches resolve the issue? No. It's an ego thing...

    How long should it take to become a Crossfit coach? What would you do differently? Good gyms will have on-ramp classes that new members have to "pass" before entering a group format. Your grips come back to good and bad. What a wonderful world it would be if everything was just perfect.

    Strength and Conditioning I had to do 10 observation hours, just watch someone that's qualified take a strength and conditioning session. Olympic weightlifting I had x amount of session unsupervised and take notes on those sessions and submit them. Not many, if any, Crossfit gyms will let you...

    Don't let the term "beginner" throw you off. Look at the program and look at yours, what does it offer over yours? What does yours offer over it?
