S8E227: Overtraining in Crossfit: Guilty or Not Guilty?

Dela

We talk through why “more training” feels so tempting in CrossFit and how that mindset quietly turns into under-recovery, nagging injuries, and lost progress. We lay out a practical way to spot overtraining, scale intelligently, and stay competitive while still training for longevity. 
• Defining overtraining as training volume where injury feels inevitable 
• Why the whiteboard and social comparison push extra sessions 
• Training age, wear and tear, and why masters athletes need different guardrails 
• Using a risk-reward lens and making decisions before you walk into the gym 
• Use versus abuse and how to ramp volume without blowing up recovery 
• Accessory work as a legit path to getting fitter while banged up 
• Measuring progress without chasing the “wrecked on the floor” feeling 
• Why crushing wheelhouse workouts can widen the strength-weakness gap 
• Competition prep basics, peaking, and practicing skills over piling volume 
• Mindfulness to catch stress and external validation before it drives overtraining 
• AI programming as a helpful tool that still needs human judgment 
Be on the lookout for next week's episode.
