Pat Sherwood from CrossFit Linchpin has generously crafted a FREE E-book on “How to Program Strength & Conditioning Workouts.” Dive into the detailed process as he constructs a practical 4-week training block. Discover his insights into effective programming, decision-making, thought processes, and analysis. Get your hands on this valuable resource!

The goal of this ebook is to openly share the method in which I program workouts. This process has been evolving since 2005 & it continues to evolve. Linchpin members have officially logged over 1.5 million results to date. The grand total of non-logged sessions is likely much bigger, but I’d rather stick to hard numbers. This method has been tested over many years on thousands of athletes from across the world. Programming workouts in this manner has proven to work for people of all ages & ability levels. This is not a rigid, inflexible template. I have developed this through years of experimentation & have found this to be a very useful & highly informative, structured guide to assist programmers in removing emotion, avoiding biases & identifying priorities. I’m simply sharing my process. I always felt there was inadequate material available for coaches & trainers on the subject of how to create intentional, deliberately designed workouts & blocks of training. I hope you find the following content beneficial. This is the guide I wish I had many years ago.
