Dr. G, physical therapist, crossfit level 1 and crossfit athlete, dives into the topic of injuries and how they occur. He discusses load vs capacity and the importance of understanding these concepts to maximize your training, fitness and performance and minimize your risk of injury.

Dr Guillermo and Coach Ryan get a little more heated than usual in this episode where they dive into a case study of an athlete Coach Ryan had the privilege of working with one-on-one. They discuss the importance of assessing your athletes/clients/patients well enough to know what the best course of action is for their needs and how that will, in the short and long term, more greatly benefit them as athletes.

We sit down with Andy Larson, owner of Float Milwaukee in the Walker's Point neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin to talk about Floating. What is it? Is it good for athletic recovery, mental health, pain? How does it work? What are the benefits? Dr. Guillermo was lucky enough to get to experience Floating himself for the first time prior to this interview and he gives his review and talks about his experience with Andy. 

Guillermo and Ryan put their coaches hats on this episode as they dive into their mindsets and reasoning for their unique programming style for the CrossFit box they both coach at to answer a member submitted question: How does a coach combine their own philosophies/methodology with the overlying philosophies of the CrossFit methodology when he/she programs for a gym that has a variety of members with a variety of goals?* - Thank you for the question, Matt Dutra!

Physical Therapist/Coach Guillermo Contreras and Fitness nomad/Coach Ryan Atkins, dive into the topic of scaling. At times seen as cheating or making a workout easier, scaling appropriately to allow athletes to successfully obtain an intended stimulus in a WOD is a bit of an art as well as a science. At least we think so. We tell you why and how in this episode. Reps, load, intensity, movement variation. You name it, we cover it.
