26.2 Strategy Guide
Here is this week's strategy guide - this is basically just a test of RMU as you clearly saw in the demo. I've tried to give some strategy and points of performance around preserving the RMU by the end. GOOD LUCK AND LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES!

Trying to stay positive on this one. Got two RMU before I started the workout, but couldn’t get any in the actual workout lol. My pull-ups felt good. I did 12 & 8 nice & smooth. Chest to bars started to feel hard quickly though. Got through the last round of snatches at 12:52, & had 5 RMU attempts. If anyone wants to comment on my attempt feel free. Attempt 2 on Monday!

26.1 Strategy Guide
Hey everyone - just wanted to share the 26.1 Strategy Guide I created, feel free to use this with your athletes or share with your gym communities. Coaches - if you have feedback or sections you disagree with I'd LOVE to have some dialogue here. I've been creating these now since the 2017 Open, but never really got a chance to get critical feedback on what goes into them.

Really good info here @Kyle Ruth!! I think I'll be starting the wall balls with a set of 12-8, on the first set of wall balls. I always tend to favor a descending rep pattern, especially when there's so much volume, because I think it helps mitigate fatigue initially. On the later sets I plan to go with the 8-8-7-7 pattern as you suggested, and then 8s for as long as I can. As for the guide itself, I thought it looked good visually, I like how it was organized, and I thought it was helpful overall. I did notice on the bottom of page 2 the same phrase is repeated (This is a controlled effort workout) and I'd take it out. No big deal, but I'd want to know if it was me. Thanks again for posting this!

@Kyle Ruth Well I got through the 66 wall balls! That's really about where I was hoping I finished honestly. I used the strategy I outlined above. The wall ball step ups seemed really taxing on my quads. I've never really done those before. I think I paced well initially & then the last 3:00 or so I was in the set of 66 and my form & mechanics started to break down, naturally. Thanks again for providing the strategy guide!

CrossFit Movements
In your Stimulus Matters episode on Individualized Coaching you mention a list of movements you ask your clients for during intake. Could you post that list here? Thanks a lot!

I understand. Between the Stimulus Matters and Corpus Animus you already provide a ton of value for coaches who are just starting out. I appreciate you providing another answer for my question!

Stim Matters: Prepping for the 2026 CF Season
Hey everyone, quick preview of this weekend’s Stimulus Matters episode. Ryne and I hit record in the middle of a conversation that started with a personal “side quest” of mine (weightlifting, running, weight cuts) and quickly turned into a much bigger discussion on season prep. We dig into what happens when multiple coaches are involved, why oversight and constraints matter more than having the “perfect” program, and how coaching actually changes once the Open and Quarterfinals are on the calendar. We also talk chronic vs acute volume, borrowing concepts from strength training for conditioning progressions, using the Open as a bridge instead of something to coast through, and how programming decisions need to shift based on athlete level and resilience.

I just watched this one and my interest was piqued with @Kyle Ruth’s mention of EMOM fillers as a good way to get additional volume with the Open coming up. Here’s my take on it with something I did today: EMOM for 30min, (Work 0:30, rest 0:30) Butterfly pull-ups DU BBJO Sit-ups Air squats Kipping HSPU What do you guys think?

Conjugate Method in Crossfit Training
Hi everyone! Hope you’re all doing well! Does anyone have recommended materials about the conjugate method for CF training? I tried to search online and there are a lot of information already but I don' know where to start with. For example: 1. What does the max effort in conjugate training normally means? 2. How does then conjugate method apply to different types of CF athletes? I'd highly vote for having one of the office hour or the Stimulus Podcast discussing this topic. Cheers!
