Online training that's easy to follow, tough to beat. For those not afraid of dirty work.
Our mission is to be a tool to strengthening our people for a life of adventure. We can’t experience the greatest joys without taking care of ourselves. We all know it. If we don’t train our body, we’ll never reach the potential of our life experiences. It’s like brushing our teeth. It’s the core, it’s the heart and it’s a gift.
We have to work on our body, we have to tend to our minds and we have to nourish ourselves in a way that gives our family, friends and selves the best possible future. While we love aesthetics (not gonna lie), we recognize our own vanity and our egos push for performance. However, our north star is the future. Quality of life and longevity. It’s the experiences of life. It’s the people in our lives. It’s a life full of capacity. Refuse to be the liability.
Do the work and take the time to play, because it’s the long game that matters.
Lol. Ok didn't think anyone would answer. Actually what I meant was the demo could've been just a tad bit "longer", show a couple more reps, a few more seconds. This was so brief I hardly even saw what it was.
Dude- So cool you are doing this!!! I'm a big CrossFitter and remember watching you in Behind the Scenes with Sevan. I've jumped in head first into The Tactical Games over the last couple years and have had so much fun. Thanks for sharing your experience. Lot's of good information on what works and what doesn't for newbies!
and actually, shoulder extension like this is something that must be maintained in order to have healthy shoulders. Inability demonstrates the need.... but in small doses.
@@TrainFTW ive noticed the way you also lock out on the top kind of like a RTO, thats not advise for beginners right? i should do it like a normal bench dip?
Love RP it’s been great for me in the past but I’ve had trouble with Vacations/traveling getting in the way… did you two just not travel for 3 months? How do you manage travel while using RP? Thanks
Always having the same meals really helps. We do generally get hotels with kitchens and cook most meals when traveling. That way the ones we don’t we are okay with eyeballing and making as good choices as possible. Most of our travel involves physical activity so that also helps.
Now talk about cadence. I'm 6' 2" 240lbs. I get tired quickly if I move quickly. Slower cadence (around 21) with more powerful strokes seems to work best for me. I get a second or two of rest between each stroke. I feel like if I let the wheel spin down for a second, my stroke is more productive. Any validity to that?
Yes absolutely- being a more powerful athlete lends itself to having more powerful strokes vs fast stroked. But it really depends on your goals. Additionally it’s important to note that unless you push the cadence you won’t feel productive at a faster cadence. So pushing for a 23-24 might be very productive in your training. Slowly building the cadence, that with already being powerful, you’d be unstoppable!
This go around we literally used those 3 meals. The chicken salad was baked chicken, apples, onion, apple cider vinegar, dijon and honey mustard. Otherwise the tacos were ala carte so we could measure our own meal, but still eat the same thing.
Matt how knowledgeable are you on bikes? I just getting into mountain biking. I have an entry level Specialized, but definitely need an upgrade. Could you talk about bikes in a video or even just reply with your recommendations?
Hahaha, no fool like an old fool. I’m glad I came across you. Thanks Matt❗️I’m looking for considered advice. I’m 66, always rowed my 10k plus in 1 hour, and always at damper setting 10. Having watched the video and listening to what Matt has said, I’m trying to calculate what the best damper setting for a 10K row should be? I don’t break the row until I have completed the 1 hour/10k. I’d appreciate a pointer or two. Thanks in advance ❗️
I think we describe it in the video based on drag factor. The other variable is your stamina vs power… which is your strong suit. If you’re rowing 10k’s your stamina should be great! What SPM do you row comfortably at?
@@TrainFTWHi Matt, really appreciate this. I used to do indoor rowing marathon’s. When I was in my 40’s. Longest was 3 hours. 10 min. Non stop. By the end I had blisters on my butt. So 60/90 min I can handle and feel good about it. I have always rowed at damper setting 10. Hence when I came across your talk on it, by chance, my ears pricked up. Now I’m wondering if I should have rowed between 6/7 as per your advice. I’m going to do a 60 min session tomorrow, for the first time ever with the damper setting at 7. I never check my monitor during my rows. I’m plugged into my music, mainly euphoria trance, and change my rowing speed according to track tempo. I also row with my eyes closed. That way I don’t get distracted.
Did you find yourself needing more than 3 mag pouches on your belt at any point? How are the pants in summer weather? Breathable? Thanks for the tips, looking to do my first comp next year.
I did not. I had two more mag pouches for pistol AND rifle with me but did not use them. The sitka pants have a cargo pocket on each side that you could use for additional mags if needed. Those pants are made for archery season hunt weather... so HOT. They would be great in the heat.
It seems more and more CrossFitters are realising what has been known for a long time in training science: constant variance is not the best approach beyond the beginner stage. Variance is fine, but training requires some systematic repetition and structure as well
In my time when I was 14 years old I did weightlifting, and the most I ever lifted was 250lb (clean and jerk) , although as an adult I want to try again to beat my record, she is also very strong :D
