KVLR Training

You showing up today already puts you ahead of most people.

The weight on the bar? Doesn’t matter. Your pace? Doesn’t matter. What does matter is that you showed up for yourself…..and that’s something to be extremely proud of.

And if you’re reading this from the sofa thinking about starting…..the workout isn’t the hardest part. Walking through the door is!

So do the hard part. Reach out. Ask the question. Whether it’s a membership, a class, or online coaching, find what works for you.

You’ll never regret it and future you will be glad you did it.

Do it for yourself 🫶🏻

When I first started coaching CrossFit 14 years ago, there were coaches that believed accessory work wasn’t necessary for CrossFit training. Thank god that thought ran out of steam fairly quickly!

I write a lot of programs every week and every single one of them will consist of some sort of accessory work dependent on that individual’s goals.

Here’s why it matters more than most people realise 👇🏻

It helps fills the gaps.
CrossFit is broad and constantly varied, but that doesn’t mean every muscle gets the attention it needs. Accessory work targets muscles that compound movements often miss. Think rotator cuff, glutes, single leg strength, posterior chain. These are the muscles that keep you moving well.

A lot of CrossFit injuries I see come down to……imbalances. When dominant muscles compensate for weaker ones, something eventually gives. Accessory work can help correct those imbalances before they become a problem and keeps you on the gym floor 👌🏻

Want a stronger overhead position? Work your external rotators and lats.
Want a bigger deadlift? Single leg RDLs and core development will get you there faster than pulling heavy every session. Accessory work builds the foundation that your big lifts sit on.

It’s programmed with purpose.
Random accessory work is just extra fatigue. Well programmed accessory work is strategic, every piece has a reason behind it, whether that’s addressing a weakness, supporting a movement pattern or building towards a longer term goal.

Do you know which accessories you should be doing to help with your goals?
I’m happy to help!
