ROMcast Q&A 003: Lifting belts, strength or stamina, tempo squats, limiting factors.

In the ROMcast Q&A episodes, Dan answers the best questions from the week on CrossFit, health, improving athletic performance, psychology, mobility, nutrition and much more.

  1. Jono asks: Should I wear a lifting belt? Is it better to squat heavier with a belt, or lighter with no belt?
  2. Jono asks: Is it more beneficial to a CrossFit athlete to have a high one rep max, or to be able to do multiple reps close to their max?
  3. Robyn asks: Why do we do tempo squats? What’s the benefit and science behind them?
  4. Chris asks: If you have an obvious limiting factor in a workout, is it best to work hard on the other movements to make up for it, or go easy on those movements to stay fresh for you weakness?
