Interesting > appreciate hearing it

100% 🎉

Well said Gabina 👍 10’ is definitely too short, however I’ve seen great initial progress with 20’ segments throughout the week. As you said, this needs to be the starting point for someone who’s never done this work, not the final goal. I’ve been working up to 2-2.5h sessions with some of my athletes (45’ row session into an easy bike ride) with great success. I think we’re just scratching the surface there!

Right there with you

Same. Thicc boys unite lol

Hey William, I’d say that for someone who lacks work capacity, 5x20’ is a great place to start, and surely a lot better than 5x0’. That being said, longer duration does build fatigue resistance which can’t be "forced" with shorter sessions. So start with 5x20’ in pre or/and post sessions (extended warm up or/and active recovery) and build towards doing longer efforts, even if it’s just once per week 👍

Great question William & Upside Strength nailed it. The context I had for the running example or another machine was more aimed towards development of a skill. IE - most CF'ers could benefit from higher frequency (not necessarily high volume) of running sessions as a skill development tool for the movement. The goal being more emphasis on improving stride mechanics and running at a pace that promotes good running technique. That was just a suggestion on how to improve running as a skill and not necessarily only looking at is as an energy system training tool. The same way I would aim to improve someones jump rope capabilties. I write it in as warm-ups/grease the groove before every training session vs just throwing in a ton of volume one day a week. Allows them to practice the skill more frequently w/out beating them up.

I would bet on gymnastics

Oooh, this is a good one. Ill Bring it up on the next podcast.

I googled it Local endurance is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to perform a given level of work under a state of fatigue, usually for a fixed amount of time.

I don’t remember exactly what was said in this context and didn’t re-watch this to find it, but generally when I use that term it is to describe adaptations that drive changes to tissue. More hypertrophy, more isometrics, more eccentrics, and things that increase time under tension and more heavily drive adaptation at the structure level. In contrast to methods that might be used to drive more neural adaptations. Ie this might be technique work, overspeed, linear progressions on weightlifting, coordination drills, etc. Let me know if this answers the question. Max

@@maxel-hag4389 thanks for the clarification.

Young me never understood this.

Why "absurdly"?

It has not become " absurdly" strength based... Marc Rippetoe talks about this often... If you build your strength up, then many of the CrossFit workouts will be significantly easier. Strength is the base. Don't become like a bodybuilder... Build a good strength base and then utilize that strength and build your sport specific capabilities...

@@woodshcc5 But there has to be a balance and currently, the strength standards required for CrossFit are way harder to achieve compared to the other things and the athletes have become short and chunky. And I'm saying this as someone who prefers strength training.

@@tenzinlee6393 I've been trying to figure out how to verbalize this so I'm going to fumble with my words here. I may be wrong but my experience has taught me that most crossfit boxes do not prepare people for strength training. Fatigue them with metcons and other workouts that do not facilitate true strength gains in a normal time period. I think we need to focus on strength, for the average person, for a while before adding all of these different workouts.
