@@puravidaot I do not think it quite that simple of an analysis. Sprinting on a track (e.g., 40 yard dash or 100m dash) is not a typical training routine for most CF athletes, including Elite athletes. With a track background I cannot tell you how many times I have seen runners not accustomed to sprinting pull/tear a hamstring. Are they fit? Of course, however, not trained for sprinting. I do not really care for all the 'babying' of athletes going on in CF. I say, let them loose and compete. Screw the step downs and avoiding the Texas heat, etc. So, my question was not to suggest the athletes should not sprint. I was simply pointing out that, I believe, there will be some victims of the event. As it turns out, it APPEARS it will not be a straight 40y or 100m sprint. Castro has dropped the 'star' implement into the equation. I guess we shall see soon enough how it all plays out.
When comparing events done in practice vs on the competition floor do you take into account the accumulative fatigue of the previous events? For instance on the last event... if so... how do you do it?
I understand the efficiency of how crossfitters do burpees and they are in shape athletes but damn do they love cheating on every excercise and something kind of sissyish about it
Amazing videos! Yes, I haven't seen video on heel clamp before either. You can do this without sliding if you put the heel on top of the other foot. And then you can let go with the hands also. I've been using this style for years and it is the best one!
Great advice and explanation! I love that you provide advice for a wide range of ability, including normal humans like me! Gonna try 24.2 rowing slightly slower using “Paul’s law” and break up the DLs early so don’t end up wasting too much time with hands on knees later…
I just finished 24.2 and the advice you've given is extremely sound. I was rowing 10 - 15 seconds slower per 500m than the guy next to me. I moved steady through each movement whereas he was taking long rests and in the end I completed more reps. I'd say he's undoubtedly more fit than me but I just paced it better with similar advice you've given. That's why you're the Professor 👌🏾
What would you suggest someone who is still working on double unders? At my best and did it once I strung 6 in a row but most likely it will be like 2 or something like single, double, single, single, double, etc? Thanks in advance!!
Can’t speak for Brent, but I’ll be getting my athletes who are in that boat to do 1 single, followed by max unbroken double unders. Every trip restart at the single, but don’t do singles in between dubs. Try to link them if you can. You want to spend your time doing as many double unders as possible and not wasting it on singles
Yeah in most cases I’d agree with Cam. But Seymour it’s up to you, if you think you’ll get through the DU quicker if you keep a pattern of single/double/single then try that. Really up to you, do what you USUALLY do when DU are programmed!
@@Fikowski just reporting back of my result! 5 + 25. I rowing and deadlifts are my wheelhouse so I held rower at 2:00 split (looking back could of gone faster because 2:00 was my recovery). Deadlift was broke up to 2 sets. Now the real work, DUs. I was doing single, double, single, single, double, etc cadence breaking up at 10s to control heart rate. Calves and forearms major muscle group hitters and lungs were somewhat fine. I got some major homework to do on DUs but thanks again for the advice!
Sevan behind the scenes made me a fan of yours your in a different league with your approach and planning and your instructional videos are outstanding 🙌 keep up the good work rooting for you this season Paul🏴
