Is always on my mind your answer when somebody ask you before an event on the games about if you we're ready... "always". No more to say... Keep paying the man, you're inspiring!!
Really rate the fact that you completely understand that different things work for different people in all these Bridging the Gap videos. Really enjoying your content keep it up man!
Hey man, I only want to say, that your personality is so full of inspiration for me. You are so relaxed and it seems that you are a very very very very nice and good guy.Thank you for your vids. Have a nice week and greetings from Germany 👍
Voodoo floss is awesome! Had golfers elbow so bad and nothing seemed to fix it... until I bought a voodoo floss! Within a week I was able to start heavy pressing again. A month after I was able to do heavy rows! Now I can even do curls and get minimal elbow pain.
I have been on the fence researching saunas a year, pulled the trigger on a Sunlighten. Told them buying this cuz Josh said so dammit! Hey Josh tell em I need it quicker please. Thanks again as always for paying the man.
Totally agree with the afternoon caffeine .. I cut mine out (mostly caffeinated tea & the occasional latte) and falling asleep improved. No more melatonin for me.
Hi Josh, new sub here and want to say thank you for your service. I’m an Army vet who served in Iraq from 03-04. I’m going to be 40 this year in October and it was looking like I would be the heaviest I have ever been by that time. Not anymore… I’m going to be my fittest by 40 and not my fattest. Thanks for the motivation and nice work on the channel.
Awesome mate, I also love cupping...so good. I have always found getting enough sleep the hardest so...I have to stop making excuses and apply myself👌😊
Josh, I use cold baths right after a hard training session. It helps to reduce inflammation. My English is not so good that I understand you as a person, so thank you for showing it clearly, what you said in your video =) Your fan
Nice been waiting for this one thanks for listening and responding love my powerdot i use all these except ice bath its to cold till summer here in Oregon.. Your the best keep it up recovery fast!
Vodoo floss is great! 👐 I'm using it for about 2 years now and it helps me a lot. I appreciate the knowledge-bombs! It is great to hear what you found for yourself to help your body
Make a Top 5 mental preparation video... Phrases, books, podcast, sports therapist, faith...things you rely on when the workouts are tough and your mind isn't right due to stress etc.?
As always sir thank you for the data and content. I have been researching and thinking about getting an infrared sauna this clinches it. I also look forward to the added looks of consternation of my neighbors as I jump in a freezer full of water each AM, they thought me pushing a sled around was odd this will blow their minds. Also just gotta say where’s the JB logo shirts ? Hurry up man so you can take my money !
CV sciences CBD balm is one of the best things I’ve ever found. Kratom is awesome too. Couple that with Natural Calm and a chiropractor and you’re good to grow.
Thank for the advice man. #2 Ice Bath and Breathing. Can you elaborate a little more on the breathing techniques... I see there's lots of different ones. Cheers
Yea the cupping is very good..I'm not sure about ice bathing 😁the floss tape and the power gun works wonders especially the floss tape I put it around my whole leg at times due to my injury,as for my sleep I'm still struggling 😁
Little late but when you say no caffeine afternoon is that also pre workout drinks containing caffeine? Just checking. I usually veer away from caffeine in drinks but for heavy fast power exerting movements I find a small amount of caffeine is beneficial. Thanks!
Josh, what are your thoughts on knee sleeves to help with knee pain/inflammation? I don’t ever remember seeing you wear them. I am using “voodoo floss” to help but it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. I don’t want to just put just a bandaid on a problem.
Can you give more info on your ice bath? Do you leave it filled all the time? Do you leave it on or unplug it occasionally to avoid creating a big ice block? Any other tips?
Good and intresting video! Tell me please what mode are u using for recovery after workouts and for knee health? "Active recovery" or "Massage mode" or "Strength modes"?
You can't catch up the hours of sleep you didn't have. It doesn't work that way. But you can take a nap if you feel tired. The best time to do that is in the early afternoon. A short 25min nap is great to make that feeling of being tired go away and be more aware. You can also take a 90min nap if you have the time. It's actually a full sleep cycle so you will feel greatly reinvigorated. Avoid naps that are between 30 min and 90 min long because you will feel even more tired after because you would wake up right in the middle of a cycle.
Hey Josh, Clothes over electronics to block out light could over heat your shit or start a fire. Better to put black electrical tape over the little LED lights to block them out. That way your electronics can still vent and cool. Cheers.
I just started getting into crossfit. Just finished my 3rd session today. What are your thoughts on a massage gun? I'm debating if I should get it for my legs or not.
Sir Thank you so much for this great tips for recovery! I don't know about the cupping and the needles they scare me!;( but the sauna and sleep I need those two! I don't know about cutting the coffee!!!Nooo lol But thank you for good clip again! have a great recovery!
NANCY W you should TOTALLY try both cupping and acupuncture. The needles in acupuncture are so fine/tiny, they do not hurt. I promise! The cupping can make me cringe a little when my massage therapist finds an exceptionally tight spot but as it releases the fascia it stops hurting .
@@rachelbarters150 hmmmm? Lol I'm going , to think about doing the cupping cuz I have a lot of tight spot and my shoulders and I heard is really helpful you're absolutely right I'm going to try we'll see! lol ;(
The Kids Nice tbh most of this is placebo or pseudo sience BUT placebo is really really strong i love to get taped when in need of it i love it it really helps one thing i wouldn’t recommend cold bathes although i do them myself because they show that over the long term it is actually bad for muscle performance but in the short term its great imo
Hey Josh, as always thank you for the videos. They are very helpful. I have a quick question on recovery. I do two workouts per day. I do an hour and a half in the morning and an hour session at night after putting my kids to bed. However, I only get about 6 hours of sleep per night. I do take a 30 minute nap at lunchtime. I know that I can’t make up for hours of lost sleep, but, in your opinion, would the nap in the afternoon help with recovery at all? Also (just an idea), it would be nice to see a video on sub workouts for people who don’t have access to a rower or ski machine. Thanks again.
I can't answer your question but google "Ben Greenfield sleep" for some great info about napping/sleep. Also worth listening to Joe Rogan 1109 with Matthew Walker and/or getting hold of a copy of Matthew Walkers book Why We Sleep.
Would love to see a video on your full warm-up before workouts. Appreciate the vids!!

Thank you so much Josh I admire you much 🙏🏽

Sometime getting to bed early sucks, but a good night of sleep is so worth it. You get the reward for it instantly the next morning.
Dominic C hell yeah man, nothing better than that

You suggest not drinking caffeine late in the day but do you use a pre-workout with caffeine? Just curious. Thank you.
Love these videos, I definitely back you on using the sauna after training, I feel a lot better afterwards.
logan phair Hell yeah man, game changer
If you had to choose one to start with, cold tub or personal sauna?
Another great video, especially like do what works for you, I really struggle with sleep maybe not to late on turning but very broken
Hey Josh your videos are great keep it up! Quick question: what is brand/model of cold tub you use?
You should do a video on your meal plan/diet
Juan Zuniga definitely coming man
Can you give more info on your ice bath? Do you leave it filled all the time? Do you leave it on or unplug it occasionally to avoid creating a big ice block? Any other tips?
your the man!

Castada Hell yeah 💪🏽 thanks for the support
would you recommend using voodoo floss for shin splints
hey man, how often you do cupping max.?
Just for serious issues like joint pain or also if you are just sore?
Greetings from Germany
Good and intresting video! Tell me please what mode are u using for recovery after workouts and for knee health? "Active recovery" or "Massage mode" or "Strength modes"?
amazing man thanks so much!
If someone can’t get 7+ hours sleep a night, do you recommend a 1-2 hour nap in the middle of the day to get that sleep?
You can't catch up the hours of sleep you didn't have. It doesn't work that way.
But you can take a nap if you feel tired. The best time to do that is in the early afternoon. A short 25min nap is great to make that feeling of being tired go away and be more aware.

You dig the Voodoo Floss, eh? I might have to give that a try. Always have a lot of soreness/tightness around my knees. Thanks JB.
I just started getting into crossfit. Just finished my 3rd session today. What are your thoughts on a massage gun? I'm debating if I should get it for my legs or not.
Using trial and error I linked getting light headed in a WOD with the mount of sleep I was getting.
Strong hustle, love the content! Any chance you could do a video on programming cross-fit workouts for beginners?
Campbell Tough definitely, I’ll keep that in mind
Awesome and helpful video. I've subbed👍👍
Do you have any tips/advice on shin splints? Would the voodoo floss help with that?
Thanks for sharing your wisdom Master

What do you think of KT tape? I use it but idk if it’s just a placebo effect or what but I’d like to get your opinion on it. Thanks. Keep winning.
The Kids Nice tbh most of this is placebo or pseudo sience
