Ben Smith: 5 Crossfit Lessons to learn from the fittest Man in the World

1. CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY FOR BEN SMITH

When you analyse the performances of Ben Smith, you see just how consistently good he actually is.

• Last year at the Games he took two first place finishes
• He secured 11 top 10 places out of 13 events
• Winning the Atlantic Regionals this year, he hit 3 first place finishes and his lowest placement was seventh.
• Last year when Ben won the CrossFit Games it was his SEVENTH year of competing at the Games!

Crossfit is all about being good across the board, and at the top level, that means being excellent across every type of event. Ben Smith is exactly that, which is why he wins.

It is no fluke that he is so well rounded, it is because he puts in the work. Ben Smith, because of his humility, is honest about his weaknesses and works on them as much as on the exercises and lifts that he enjoys. This attention to detail helps him become a better athlete, and the consistency of his training allows him to deliver results.

Write down your weaknesses and make sure to work on them as much as all the others exercises within your programming.

The work never stops. There is no “off season”. You have a vision? A goal? Work every day to get there. Focus on the moment and enjoy the process. 5 RDS 60 Du’s 30 Push Ups 10 DB Snatch 100# Want to Follow my programming? The link is in my bio.
