Preparing for Sport of Fitness or what most of us call “CrossFit” events is no easy task. Whether we are talking about exercise selection, time domain, program design style, etc…. This sport has an overwhelming amount of moving parts and can be very challenging to analyze and plan for. I’m not just talking about helping an athlete get conditioned for an event. I am speaking about building a fully comprehensive training plan that begins 9-12 weeks before an event. A program that addresses all major aspects of fitness while still using data and history from the event we are preparing for. If we are talking about an event prep like this from a GPP perspective things become much easier to plan for. When we are developing a training plan for a fitness competition with the goal of wanting to maximize an athletes true potential things are very different. At TST,...Read more

FIND THE RIGHT PROGRAM View samples of the following programs: TEAM SOUL ELITETEAM SOUL COMPETEVIEW ALL PROGRAMS We are happy to announce some changes to our programming structure and the addition of a new program offering. The program we have all grown to know and love (Team Soul Compete) will now be known as Team Soul Elite. This program will continue to reach high as it always has, and is geared around those who currently have their eyes set on semi-finals competition, elite/rx level of in-person competition, CrossFit Games, etc. The volume, structure, exercise selection will remain intact as we all know it.

This past weekend marked the beginning of Team Soul Barbell’s 2021 competition year or season. We had the privilege of competing at our good friend, Carl Penney’s, yearly weightlifting competition, Palm Beach Open. PBO has become not only a staple in our competition calendar but also one of the major meets in all of South Florida. For me, this was the first meet I have been able to coach at since the 2019 American Open in Park City Utah. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as a meet like PBO can be a mixed bag of coaches, athletes, teams, etc. Meets like these can run the gamut from World Team Members to a 9 year old taking their first lifts on a competition platform. To be quite honest… That is a very good representation of our team at the moment and it showed this weekend. One of the reasons...Read more

Well team… Here we go. I want to come out and say that the last 2 years of the CrossFit Games Season have been less than exciting for me personally. I feel it’s important for me to come out and say that so everyone knows where I am coming from. We have always felt like it is important to be transparent with our athletes, clients and followers so they have a better understanding of where we are and where we want to go. There’s a variety of reasons and if you really want to know… Look at some of our older blog posts, youtube videos, podcasts, posts on social media, etc. Something that has always been our guiding light so to speak is planning. We do a really good job at planning our training around a specific goal, test, event. Whether we are working with world class Weightlifters, Mixed Martial...Read more
