As we prepared for the South Central Regionals, Team CrossFit Central realized that if we wanted a shot at Games Glory, we would need to take our training to the next level. In doing so, we decided to hire a brilliant and well-respected member of our community, Rudy Nielsen of Outlaw CrossFit, to fill the shoes of programmer and coach.
In the entire history of CrossFit Central, we have never had an outside coach or programmer – we have always relied on the genius within our own box. But the time has come in our sport where that simply will not suffice. To be elite – as an individual or a team – you need someone with an unbiased view and a full time commitment to your training. A coach has to be MORE preoccupied with your workouts, times, and weights than you are.
And Rudy does just that. Our volume has increased, and barbell work has moved to the forefront of our training. Strength is a focus, but the conditioning is just as brutal. See for yourself:
