I learned more about performance from this single episode than I have in 5 years of watching hundreds of hours of fitness and endurance TH-cam videos. MUST WATCH!
You guys are the rogan of fitness pods- you ask all the best questions- even if they’re ovbious questions- new people need to hear the answer. and you let the guest talk. Thank you please keep it up!!!
His active recovery method blew my mind. It even explains why drop-sets, HIIT, etc are all so effective in such a simple way. 10/10 the most informative interview on fitness I’ve heard in years.
If you ever get the time check him out on youtube and IG. I went to his seminar and it is hands do packed with so much knowledge that years later I am still processing and passing down to my kids to help them excel over the other kids in the sport. He is genuine
Listening while doing my Zone 2 session... pls get Chris back on!! every time he’s on a podcast or documentary he gives a crazy amount of info from his experience! 30 min in and I’ve already learned so much. Great podcast guys
Just started Triathlon and found this. Absolute gold!!!! This is one of the most impactful and interesting podcast I've heard. Thanks for having Chris on. Hope you guys have him back
It’s one thing to do CrossFit, it’s another thing to be at the games, it’s another thing to be successful and win multiple times like these guys. It’s such an amazing feat and not many understand the physical and mental demands on them
Thanks for having such nuanced discussions. Really is a treat to listen in. Can I suggest having a camera dedicated to a whole body shot whenever a guest is performing a movement? Really would help connect the dots. Thanks always for the content!
This podcast came at the perfect time. I’ve started running for about a month now to improve my lifting. I would find myself getting fatigued faster whether I was powerlifting or doing hypertrophy. I have seen a huge improvement in performance and also weight loss. A pound loss here and there but I feel better, look better and not losing strength. This came at the perfect time and I definitely need to go back and listen to this again with my notepad or computer to take some notes. Awesome and great information.
You in the Army? I got out in 2010. OIF, stationed in Germany. I hated running in the Army. I’ve learned more about running from TH-cam than the service ever gave me lol. Now I love it. Best of luck on your fitness goals
I think it’s so cool that you would stop and give assistance to a fellow member in the gym. I am totally blind. I have no vision whatsoever and at the warehouse gyms and the commercial gyms they won’t even assist me from station to station not give me personal training that’s not what I’m asking or talking about. I’m talking about just moving me from station to station so I don’t bump into any other gym member while they are in the middle of a rap, so I thought that was pretty cool just being a good human being because navigating the gym as a blind person and not wanting to hurt anybody they tell me I need to get a personal trainer and again I am just talking about moving me from one station to the next station once I’m completing with that particular station. Sorry for the rant just thought it was pretty cool that you would give advice to a fellow member of the gym. Keep up the great work.
This interview was very compelling. I am totally inspired by listening to your podcast. Developing and establishing aerobic capacity is key to tracking progress. Not much of a writer in the online world, but I would be remised if I did not share my appreciation. TY
This guy really knows how to put the pieces together in training to get the desired outcome/adaptation and also great at explaining with examples. This was a good one.
The idea of active rest, the slow light weight movement for recovery, was such an "ah-ha!" moment I actually laughed out loud. This addresses one of my lifelong biggest weakness, and gives me a simple framework to go after it. I tried it today, 40 minutes without stopping. Took a while to get used to, but felt pretty great.
I keep going in and out of fitness due to never reaching the goals I set for myself. I think this concept makes total sense and might be my ticket back into it and out of dadbod shape.
Been there, still there making my way out at the age of 41. day by day, meal by meal, workout by workout you have to have some sort of consistency. It is possible and depending on your age get your hormones checked.
I don't think I've ever seen Smelly be so quiet through this... it's like he's the Joe Rogan of the Fitness Interviews. Hat off to Mark for letting the info pour out.
Love the show guys! I wanted to make a suggestion. A lot of your guests if not all of them are athletes and they like to show movement examples and make demonstrations. On the viewer side we cannot see their body in most cases and thought a second camera angle adjacent to the guest showing their body would be beneficial. That’s all. Keep up the good work!
Amazing dad. Mine always tried to ban me from the gym in many ways,and even after 2 decades of my training, he says its stupid and unhealthy :D Not to mention he cant do 10 pushups :D Great podcast guys, thank you!
Mine never tried to ban me but he always is against everything I want to do. He never once supported me and always shot down any of my ideas. Never said "don't do it" just always talked about how bad if an idea it was. Even know I'm an old man and he still disapproves of everything. I eventually still ended up doing my own thing in life. But it had a lasting effect on me and my confidence and stuff and how I'm always wrong.
@@outerspacing9207 I wanna cry about this because that's my life. I could have been a professional athlete but but my parents held me back. Still, I'm a monster at 37. But yeah, it has a lasting effect on the victim
@@mayowaade879 yea it's weird. Because ultimately it's still our faults. We should have overcame out parent but we let it affect us too much. I let my dad's influence really affect my life and that's my fault.
Never been in better shape than when I did crossfit and mountain biked at 10k feet or telemark skied moguls and trees even higher on my days off. My detriment was I went back to construction work (pipelayer... basically you shovel and drag heavy ass chains in and out of a 20 ft deep muddy/icy ditch all day). I quickly became over trained, tore the cartilage in my hip requiring a horrific surgery, and now I also have compressed nerves in my low back so my feet go numb if I even look at a deadlift or squat. Im looking at another hip operation and a back operation now. Not sure if I regret crossfit, but I dont recommend anyone else do that sport unless you already have a strong foundation, a physically non-demanding job so you can recover, a massive appetite with time to eat all that food, and good health insurance. Now I've cut back a lot. 1 hour of bodybuilding focused lifting a day, and that's it. And I've put on another 20lbs of muscle pretty much immediately after cutting back the training to something reasonable.
I just discovered your show and it is so cool! Loved this discussion and how you all bounce off each other and share experiences. I'm a canoe endurance racer and the conversation on active recovery is already helping me perform better. Thanks - and looking forward to learning more about strength training! (which is my new favourite thing to do!)
Great quality points and ideas given in training and sports. High quality commentary throughout, however with crossfit and the top athletes lets also mention the PEDs being used as well. I get it grinding everyday, diet, quality of workouts, sleep, dedication is the main driving force but also taking the preformance enhancing drugs especially with crossfit. Not to take anything away as these athletes look fantastic and preform phenomenally every year. Lets get this out so people are aware the full scope of what it takes to try to look like Rich Froning or these other top athletes that look incredible and are top 5 or 10 athletes in crossfit.
Lol all the athletes that podium at the games each year get tested right after the ceremony as well randoms throughout the season. CrossFit is the first to single out someone if they pop for PEDs, an example is Ricky Garard who placed 3rd in 2017 games. He got tested right after the ceremony and got caught and had to serve a 4 year suspension. Yes some athletes slip through the cracks but it's not the names consistently on the podium.
I can do 70 push ups in a row with out breaking, what should I do to get to 100? Same with dead hang pull ups, I can do 18 in a row without coming off the bar, any suggestions how to get to 25?
Yea, use EMOMs to improve your work capacity. For example, EMOM 8:00, do 70% of your max reps every minute on the minute for 8 minutes. Next weeks go for 75/80% or your max reps, then 90, 95 and then 100% of your max reps for like 8:00. Then you lower the minutes and go 105/110% and so on. In few weeks your work capacity and then your max reps will increase. For push-ups you can do E2MOM (every 2 mins on the minute) since there are many reps.
@@Rileyed so wouldn't swimming be more like a 1 count inhale through mouth, and like 3 count exhale through the nose. Thats what i was confused on because i didn't know if he ment all exercise should have the same ratio of inhalation to exhalation. So if running should be a 4:4 then swimming should be something like a 1:3 because you cant inhale for 4 seconds in the water
This P'Dcast....is so good I have listened to it twice and will listen probably twice more.....it is that dense with excellent info Chris is doing nothing less than helping the super Humans be even more Super....The People's coach going sub 6 min mi...?!?! Give Me a break! Love it! A.H.T.K. ...AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE COUPLED WITH WORlD CLASS WISDOM!
It allows one to be able to tolerate a higher amount of CO2. The stimulus to release O2 from hemoglobin is higher levels of CO2. So if you can get more comfortable nose breathing, youll be able to shuttle off more oxygen from your RBCs by tolerating a higher amount of CO2. Mouth breathing you have too much oxygen and don't use it as efficiently. check out Brian Mackenzie & SHIFT State
There was a bit where he said over 40s should lift heavy for 3 reps or something along those lines. I wanted to know if there is a program to follow and also wanted to say I'm very confused as want to workout wise being over 40 now and things don't recover as fast or 100% so some people are saying lots more reps with lighter weight, and I'm very confused on what is best.
First step take a video. Some not all people have video phones but most probably some how have access to. My step one is walk in a way that you can feel the tips of your toes.
After watching this episode, I tried something different with my long runs. I have a CGM (continuous glucose monitor). Today I ran 5 miles, with good form, very controlled breathing. I wanted to finish without huffing and puffing, and not being sore and tired at end of the run. When I came home and saw my CGM, by blood sugar was at 100. Usually after a workout, i'm at 150 or higher. So maybe this slow controlled cadence run made my body use fat for fuel?
Chris, I know how you can recover from pain from "IT BAND"... Its spine problem, not other. I have it for years and tried all protocols, until found one russian guy in Serbia and he helped me in one month.

He has so much data to back up all of his work.

there was a lot of honesty, emotions, lessons and I am just at the beginning of the podcast. Chris looks like a good person, quite obviously

1.) Potentiation pre-competition
2.) Recovery with moving
3.) break down the sports & find opportunities to recover

@@tyrelbrunson6973 Yea i'm sure they have the same protocols as the NFL. Jokes aside they should really be transparent about it though.
100%. Anyone who thinks people can’t get around their testing hasn’t used or even studied PED use seriously.

Sounds similar to MAF training? Dr. Maffetone might be another really interesting guest. Loved every minute. Thank you!
"the leaders in the marines are receptive to new ideas" lmao

What where these 2 Workouts where the lifts went consistently up? Can we buy them anywhere?
Thanks for the great content guys:)
Well this is fascinating.
the middle is soldier-style, keep'n you alive workouts
So does nasal and slower breathing help an athlete recover faster, or is this just a meter to gauge and throttle your intensity?
Right? I desperately wanted the answer to that
It allows one to be able to tolerate a higher amount of CO2. The stimulus to release O2 from hemoglobin is higher levels of CO2. So if you can get more comfortable nose breathing, youll be able to shuttle off more oxygen from your RBCs by tolerating a higher amount of CO2.
