Making these work in crossfit

  • Film movements from the side at hip height so viewers can judge depth and standards. A front-on wall-ball clip hides the exact no-rep you're teaching.
  • Name the movement and standard on screen, like 'chest-to-bar, chin over.' The precise cue is why athletes save it to fix their own reps.
  • Give permission to scale. Scaling-shame content earns loyalty because most of your viewers aren't RX, and the honest call keeps them coming back.
  • Shoot form under fatigue, not fresh reps. The rep-15 breakdown of a kip or thruster teaches more than a clean single nobody struggles with.
