Some couples might dread the thought of working with their spouse. The opposite is true for Scott and Christin Panchik, who run their affiliate, CrossFit Mentality, and focus on training and raising two young children.  Remind me: Scott is a 10-time CrossFit Games veteran and a fixture in the sport as an athlete and mentor in the community. Christin was on a Regionals team in 2017 and has more recently competed in the Age Group Semifinals competition, finishing in 88th place out of 170 spots. The couple’s first date was a CrossFit workout in 2013.  Christin had no clue what the sport was at the time and recalls it being a 10-to-1 workout involving toes-to-bar, overhead squats, and burpees. Scott had already been to the Games once already at that point. “It was so hard. But I also loved it so much , and I remember being so sore the next day,” Christin told Morning Chalk Up in an interview. “I thought it was really cool that Scott was doing CrossFit. I still didn’t understand th

The age-old adage “some is better than none” rings true for exercise benefits, including physical transformation. On Oct. 31, 2024, researcher and champion powerlifter  Dr. Layne Norton  examined a recent study regarding whether full-body training once per week can preserve muscle gains. ( 1 ) In the 2024 study, young, untrained women performed leg presses twice weekly for 12 weeks. The workouts involved four sets of six repetitions at 80 to 85% of strength or one-rep max , with weights increasing each week. As expected, the leg muscles grew. After the initial phase, volunteers were split into three groups for an additional 12 weeks: Weekly Training Group : Lifted once per week Bi-weekly Training Group : Lifted once every 14 days Detrained Group : Ceased training entirely Participants who trained once per week preserved roughly all muscle gains  from the initial phase.

Just how granular can you get in your pursuit of greatness? For Brett Wilkin, the answer lies somewhere at the bottom of his cereal bowl. In a sport where every striation matters, bodybuilders must deal with the harsh reality that what they put on their plate or in their shaker cup can make all the difference between winning a gold medal and settling for second (or worse). While Wilkin hasn’t achieved Olympia glory like Chris Bumstead , it’s not due to a lack of attention to detail with his nutrition. In a YouTube video published on Nov. 4, 2024 , “The Butcher” and fourth-place Olympia finisher Martin Fitzwater joined forces with Bumstead for a grueling back workout and a transparent conversation about dieting that should cast a larger spotlight on a potentially aspect of bodybuilding .

To become Mr. Olympia, you must be part man, part machine. Not only do you need humanistic qualities like discipline, diligence, and dedication, but you also need machine-like precision and functionality to construct an elite physique. Few understand this better than 2024 Olympia winner Samson Dauda , who made the leap from third to first by attacking his weaknesses and enhancing his strengths over the last year. While it may not look like the Nigerian bodybuilder has any holes in his game, Dauda gave valuable insight on how to fix weak muscles during a recent seminar in China. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz9xpDp3wyo Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Seminar & back workout at The RealGym in China | Samson Dauda (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz9xpDp3wyo) [Related: Best Pre-Workout Supplements ] Samson Dauda Has a Clear Stance on Machines In a YouTube video published on Nov. 3, 2024, the reigning Mr. “O” gave members of The Real Gym a first-h

Editor’s Note: This is the second part in a multi-part series highlighting longtime CrossFit gym owners, their experiences over the past decade, and some advice they wish they had at the start. Click here for part one. Constantly varied, functional movements performed at a high intensity.  That’s the basic, barebones definition of CrossFit. As someone who started CrossFit in 2008, I can say that programming at my affiliate in the early days perfectly reflected this definition.  I showed up each day, hit whatever random, intense workout was written on the whiteboard, and went as hard as possible. A year later, I started coaching at CrossFit Vancouver in British Columbia, the first affiliate in Canada. All of our coaches shared the programming responsibilities.  This meant we had a rotation, where each coach took on the programming for one week every six weeks. We didn’t follow any system or adhere to any tried-and-true programming principles. We didn’t communicate with ea
