Background
How they coach
Jonah came to CrossFit from weightlifting and has kept the technical bias. Every class he runs opens with a proper skill block, because in his view the reason CrossFit gets hurt people is gyms that go straight to the clock.
He writes every WOD with a stimulus note and a scaling option, coaches the Saturday partner workouts, and runs the Wednesday Olympic lifting skills session for anyone who wants to learn a snatch properly rather than approximately.
He is the coach most likely to talk you down from a weight, and the one who will happily spend twenty minutes on your overhead position.
The prescribed weight is not the workout. The stimulus is the workout. Get that right and the numbers come.
