3 Things Rich Froning Would Do as CrossFit CEO
Rich Froning, a 10-time CrossFit Games champion (individual/team) and G.O.A.T., was recently interviewed on the Beat the Heat podcast hosted by Todd Anderson. During their discussion, Froning shared his thoughts on what he would do if he were the new CEO of CrossFit LLC, beginning with revitalizing the community.
Remind me: CrossFit HQ announced last month that the brand is for sale and informed the community it is seeking a new owner. While rumors have circulated regarding potential buyers, there has yet to be any formal confirmation. However, speculation is always fun and prompts “if I were king for a day” conversations.
“Let’s say you wake up tomorrow and you’re the CEO of CrossFit; you make all the calls. What are the first three things you do?” Anderson asked.

How Gymnastics Improved My Weightlifting
Wait, what? You PR'd your snatch after you became more proficient in handstand walking?
How is that even possible?
Yes, I am here to tell you that gymnastics training will improve your Olympic lifts. But how?
There are three main reasons: in gymnastics training, you learn to create tension in your muscles, improve your spatial awareness, and enhance your coordination.
Tension
Simply put, in our sport, tension is muscles doing work.
When muscles contract, they generate power that facilitates efficient movement. Physics teaches that potential energy, or stored energy, is transformed into kinetic energy, or power. In biomechanics, we learn that muscles produce force, which generates power.
