If I only have 1 session to train and there are 2 sessions, what should I do?
We offer multiple programs that have just 1 session (Mayhem Scaled, Mayhem Burgener Strength, Mayhem Aerobic Capacity, Mayhem 60, Mayhem Bodybuilding and Mayhem 30).
If you are in a program with 2 sessions and only have limited time but still want to follow that program (WRD, Mayhem Compete, Mayhem Teens or Mayhem Masters), start with the session that has the most things you need to work on as an athlete and attack that. If you finish that session and still have time, start the next session’s programming as long as you can maintain form and keep a moderate level of intensity with the metcons.
What makes Mayhem Athlete unique from other resources offering online programming?
Our programs are programmed by Rich Froning and the Mayhem Athlete Team. No other entity within the CrossFit or fitness community has seen the level of success as CrossFit Mayhem. A large part of this is because of the unparalleled programming that exists within our community. We offer Mayhem Athlete programming so anyone and everyone can have access to our programming and help you improve your fitness.
What is the difference in Mayhem compete and “What’s Rich Doing”?
Many of the workouts in Compete are from workouts Rich does in a previous week and improves upon (or slightly modifies) the workout for those following this program. The overall volume is slightly less in Compete than the program “What’s Rich Doing” - which is exactly what Rich does. Compete also has skilled gymnastics but not quite to the volume or degree in “What’s Rich Doing” (for example: less pegboards and Handstand Walk Obstacles). Compete is best for those looking to make a Sanctional or who compete in local competitions regularly, while those looking to make the Games should follow “What’s Rich Doing” OR follow Compete and sprinkle in workouts from other programs (Mayhem Aerobic Capacity, Mayhem Burgener Strength, and/or What's Rich Doing).
