Love the channel dude, keeping posting!
Thanks! Will do!
Start here: www.jasongrubb.com/
First of all, I love your content ! Everything you said is so true! I wish somebody told me all this an year ago . Seeing your videos motivates me to get back on the grind!
So glad you found it helpful!!! Let me know how your journey goes!
Another amazing, informative video Jason- love the content and your passion for fitness/ crossfit is contagious for sure.
This Friday is my first session in the box for a trial session and then onto hopefully a fundamentals course.
Keep the content coming mate and keep safe.
That is awesome AJ! I love this community and supporting you guys however I can!
@@JasonGrubb I workout in the morning like 0530hrs and by 1700/1800hrs I'm shatterd. A very random question but should I be tired at this time or am I fueling my body wrong?
I needed to hear this! Thank you
Awesome! Happy to help 👍
Jason, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your journey and your content. I just turned 35 in April and officially moved into the Masters division. I'm almost 2 years into this CrossFit journey, but I can honestly say your informative videos have been some of the most helpful content in getting me focused and wanting to take this to the next level! Keep up the strong work brother and good luck at the Games! Cheering you on from Nebraska!
Thanks Dustin! I appreciate that a ton!!!
Amazingggg advice!!
Thanks John.
Thank you for explaining about body weight movements I learn that recovery and sleep is the key for me when it comes to going CF classes I have an old back injury doing deadlifts I made sure from now on I have the app to track on my progression weights on btwb. All the exercises you explained especially with conditioning body weight movements help with progressively.
I wish CF class told me to start from the beginning I recall being overwhelmed my first week of classes. I’m 5 months in I have a whole different perspective make the body weight workouts super challenging but works for me. Being healthy and fit is a lifestyle something I truly love and enjoy especially with CF.
Thanks for the view! Glad you stuck with it!!
Thank you for this video! It was informative and motivational for sure
So glad!
Some of the best advise ever....keep it up man!
Appreciate it!
Ive just turned 40, you’re my inspiration. Subscribed ❤
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!
Hi Jason, thank you so much for this video. I have just got back into fitness aged 36 and I went all in with weights and I found myself watching a 21 year old for advice and inspiration. She’s great but I’m old enough to be her mum! 😂 Plus, she’s already been working out solidly for 3 years. But I still went straight in with weights and working out 5 times a week. (I’m all or nothing too!) I’ve ended up twinging my shoulder and I’ve just felt exhausted. Now having watched your video, I’m going to take a few days to a week off and start again with less days and body weight. Rome was not built in a day, right! Thank you so much for this video. I feel newly inspired and I will be checking out your other videos. 🙏
You're welcome!!! Rome was NOT built in a day. Take your time, enjoy the journey!!
Thank you Jason- Certainly great information-
Of course! Thanks for the view!
thanks again for that. ♥ your pure inspiration
Thanks!!!!
Really enjoyed this episode and on for how to approach fitness. After injury, I decided to refocus on nutrition and overall health first, now I am trying forget my bad form habits and I am starting with the basics with help of my box. It has made a massive difference. Nutrition is where it’s at, as it will give you the energy, focus and desire to workout ensuring you will succeed if you follow what Jason is saying. Good luck everyone watching 🙌🏼👌
Thank you!!!
You are so passionate. Well said.
This definitely means a lot to me. Thanks Sam!
Hey Jason, great videos.
I'm 46 and just started CrossFit a few months ago. Watching how you share your experience and tips it's a great inspiration.
Awesome Benjamin! Keep up the good work!!
I just stumbled across your video. Great information!! Nice to hear the perspective of a masters athlete. I’m a new fan. I’ll be rooting for you at the Games. 💪🏼😊
Thanks Yvette!!! If you see me there make sure to say hi!
Very well said Jason.
Thanks!!!
Thank you for this 💪🏾
Any time
Just found this channel. I've done x-fit since 2014 off and on. got really strong but still was chunky AF, Now in my advanced age of 46 years old and retired it has been challenging to get back into the habit of getting back to the gym. It has been tough to fight through mobility issues and recovery. This has been the major issue I have encountered the past few years trying to restart my healthy fitness and skinny jeans quest. Some great advice
Glad you're here! It's such a struggle, but you've got this!
Thanks for the advise. Love it.
Thank you!!!!
Awesome video...your story from 38 to today is amazing.
Thanks brother!!!
Great info thanks
You bet!
Whilst I’m not quite 38, I’m glad I found your channel and this video. I have been on and off with CrossFit over the years and I was very similar, I threw myself in fully and wrecked myself doing it, my head was also definitely not in it at the time. I’ve really taken to this tiny habit approach to my fitness journey, I’m now starting my fitness journey by just walking on the treadmill each day to build the habit of going to the gym and hopefully drop some lbs to move into the next stage 😁
Welcome aboard! Love the tiny habit approach!!! Let's go!
Kudos to you Jason, your spirit and story are inspiring for us 45+ Dad bods Just one thing to add here, and I know Jason's already made videos about this, but you gotta warm up, a lot, at this age. Hate having to work around injuries.
Yes... you absolutely have to warm up a lot!!! :-)
This was really great. We are conditioned to think- In 6 months I’ll reach all my fitness goals. It takes a good bit of time to get very fit. Thank you!
Unrealistic expectations kill al lot of people's motivation, for sure. Thanks for the view and comment!
Thanks bro, 🇲🇾 subscriber here, i was born in 1989, i'm 5ft 10 in, and i'm quite relatively young in this crossfit sport. I never join sport in my younger life, so i decided to join this crossfit and see how it goes. After a year, i suddenly got wrist pain, joint problem, and shin split. Due to the fact that the WOD is very intense, my muscles overwork and mostly i'm tired. I'm sure you've been there as well. After that i learnt about Nutrition, getting enough sleep one of the main component to be perform better and consistent in Crossfit sport.
Apart from that, i look into various resources to learn more about technique, and i realized that with my height so tall and i got difficulty in weightlifting. So i learn to change the technique. I learnt that tall people need to train twice as harder than shorter people. I subscribed your channel because you inspire me to believe in ourselves that we can do it. With your age above 40, really inspire and motivate me to work harder.
I look back at when i started my crossfit journey, i just signed up crossfit member without thinking twice of the potential injury, now its like a journey to self discovery. Moreover, i keep learning more about the technique, nutrition, muscle anatomy, doing recovery, its so many i can't list out of them 😂. The more i read and learnt, the more i dont know about it and i just keep continue to learn. Its very intimidating and i like to explore and keep breaking my limits.
I really valued my knowledge, my investment, and my time in doing crossfit and i will keep doing it. I believe i can reach my ultimate peak of fitness in near future.
Please continue to make content, please dont stop to share your story, insight, we need genuine people like you to inspire us!
Mahathir - thanks for sharing my friend!! I'm excited to see how your journey progresses!
Very helpful thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks J!
You bet Keith!!
Huge respect to your achievements but more around how your sharing your knowledge.
After getting the courage to enter my first Crossfit competition in March 2020 the dreaded lockdown happened and it never happened and fell into bad habits!
After going to SiD in London and at the age of 38 and finding your channel I have the renewed motivation to try competing.....let's see where it leads!
Yes dude!!!! Good luck and reach out if you have any questions!
Hey Jason, love love LOVE the content. Very few times over the years (VERY FEW) do I find a channel on TH-cam that I can directly relate to in terms of physique, desire and motivation/inspiration. Watching your channel as a 40yr old 5'8 male myself with similar overweight story has really help push my fitness and health goals incredibly. THANK YOU! I do have one question (of course lol). I've come down from 225 to 200 hundred snd my goal is to eventually come down to 180 with a crossfit type fitness plan. How many calories would you estimate you eat daily? Thank you for the great content and keep up the good work!!! 👍
You're welcome brother!!! it's really hard to determine how many calories you should eat daily... there are a lot of factors that go into it. I would be happy to do a nutrition audit (nutrition plan) for ya here: www.jasongrubb.com/nutrition-coaching
With a bit more info about you, we can get you dialed in!!!

👊 Yes!
thanks for this
You’re welcome John!
You are very inspiring to me.
Wow, thank you
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
Enjoyed the talk! Great that you mentioned about your experience with CrossFit. CrossFit has so many great aspects, so it is disappointing that the trainers at that location did not assess your fitness level better and gauge the intensity of workout appropriately. Some very valid points well made.
Thanks Duncan - and agree with ya on this one!
I was 5'8 and 225 lbs of fat in 2019. During COVID I ate and drank way less and managed to lose about 75 lbs, now I'm looking way trimmer at 39 years old, but realized that I had absolutely no muscle mass. I bought a pull-up bar for my apartment back in October and have gone from cheating out 2 pull-ups (not properly resetting back to a full hang) to 5 more or less proper form. I've still got a long way to go, and I definitely need to be incorporating more cardio, a greater variety of exercises (especially lower body) and eating better, but it's nice to see some numeric gains even if I don't see the transformation in my body quite yet. Hopefully by the time summer rolls around, I'll be drinking less and eating slightly better, plus biking and continued progress in my work outs will have me at the best shape of my life by the time I turn 40.
What an amazing accomplishment!! You're on the right trajectory to hit that goal of being in the best shape of your life at 40 👊 Keep it up!! #getboldernotolder
Thank you
Absolutely! Thanks for the view!
As a trainer💪🏼🤙🏼 you have amazing info an great ideas 💪🏼🤙🏼 thank you…
Thanks Nick!
Thank you Jason, this is very useful content. I wish I had known that before starting. Would have saved me from bad injuries :s
Ah dang! Well, take care of yourself now!
@@JasonGrubb sure will :) thanks
54 yo, just finished my 1st month of attending 3 sessions a week and feeling great. I can’t do what the other people in the classes can, my focus is on pushing myself every time to meet my goals. Never give up!
Dude.... that's awesome!! Keep it up!
Great video and very practical. I turn 46 next week and this motivates me to be more consistent in my activity. I already swim between 1.5 to 2 miles twice a week, but I feel like I need to supplement that with more cardio, like biking. I'm hoping to take your tips about setting small habits and working towards at least getting 5 days of cardio a week (3 biking and 2 swimming; I HATE running). Honestly, my biggest struggle is going to be getting my nutrition dialed in. That's what got me where I am. Maybe if I can start building small habits in that area, I can be more successful.
Thanks for the video!
Small habits are definitely key! Swimming and biking are great- no need to make yourself run if you hate it!!! If you need help dialing nutrition in, DM me on Instagram or email jason@jasongrubb.com 👍
Lift weights, get stronger…cardio isn’t going to help you get off the toilet at 90, strength will!
Variety in training methods keeps the mind fresh and keeps it fun.
35 year old veteran combat medic with a couple lingering war injuries - but my work from home desk job is my real disability lol. Quiiiiite a bit overweight these days.
Plus side is I own a full rogue barbell gym in my basement (was doing starting strength before I was a dad) plus mostly unused Rogue Echo Bike and concept 2 rower.
Downside is it’s all been disassembled since I moved to this house. Lol. I had convinced myself I was too old and too far gone to bother getting fit, so the gym just kinda rests in pieces.
Learning about your journey, I suddenly feel like a whiner making excuses. Lol. So, yeah, I think I’ll go put my gym together now.
With that equipment and you’re obvious ability to do some excessively hard shit (that most of us civilians won’t ever come close to), you can absolutely do this!! Get that gym put together and let me know how it goes 👊👊👊
Very excellent
Thanks!!
Godbless u Sir🏃♂️
39, turning 40 next month. Just started my fitness yourney 6 months ago. Nice to hear that it isn’t impossible, something i sometimes feel like when those fit 20 year olds are crushing it 😂.
Thx for the vids and the inspiration it gives. Love from the Netherlands.
Don’t let those young guns get you down!!
Thanks, it means allot just knowing your journey
Great video great workout Training body. Great show.
Thanks Peter.
@JasonGrubb this is an amazing video. Seriously. The advice is amazing and on point, especially for us non-elite athletes. Thank you. Gonna share this one all over the place.
Glad it was helpful!
Brother, I am 420 lb, but 4 years ago I was in the 90% tile of CrossFitters. Your videos are renewing my hope that I can get back there. Perhaps just as important, I'm seeing that I am putting the cart before the horse. I am going too heavy and too hard and that is sabotaging my long-term progress. I need a dial it back, condition, and then work on my body weight stuff. Maybe I'll see you at Masters in a few years
Yes. Let’s see you there brother!!
I gained 40 lbs after losing both parents. Almost 4 years ago,I ran a half,but now can barely run 2 miles and I’m starting from the bottom again 😩 I’m not much social media,but I created an IG acct to document my journey for accountability. I listen to my body and don’t go off hard. My bones have to carry the extra weight lol…Thank God for muscle memory. We can do this Taika!! 💪💚
@@NG-ib9xf let's go!!!
Respectfully asking > What happened mentally & physically that caused you to go from fit in CF to 420 ? And wish you best to do well again
@@davidgantz9378 I think it's a perfect storm. You don't get this big without perfect storms. I have really bad genetics. I'm Polynesian and my dad would fluctuate from 300 to 500 lb his whole life. It feels like depression is a part of that, and it feels like addiction is a part of it as well. I can train like an animal. I love training. I just don't have an off switch on my eating
Nice video Jason the part about starting a habit by just taking little steps was gold!! Question- were you elite at any other sports when you were younger or your 'eliteness' just came out if the blue?
I was a competitive gymnast as a young teen, but that's it. I am definitely a highly driven individual... and getting a taste of success early in CrossFit hooked me!!
I new sub
Cause there no advice for us old men
Thank u Sir
Thanks for the sub!
Hey Jason new subscriber here. This is a great video! Hope to enjoy your channel.
Thanks and welcome!!!!
It seems my instructor is doing good programming then, he basically built this up as you described. Thank you for the tips! Crossed my first continuous year of doing it 3 times every week (I've started it earlier, but the pandemic ruined my progress a bit), going up to 4 times as you've suggested in the last Q&A.
Even though I've learned some barbell exercises, I've put them aside and rather use kettlebells (those feel like home to me learning kb earlier), I don't feel dexterous enough for Olympic weightlifting routines, can't enjoy those yet, but probably I should give them another go in the long run. Another thing I still don't like doing is box jumps, I always feel like it's just injury waiting to happen; very easy to get so fatigued to miss a jump and crash yourself. It didn't happen so far, I've just hurt my feet here and there, but I still don't feel confident doing those, I lean towards replacing them with something else.
Besides these, I really enjoy doing CrossFit so far, I've lost around 40 pounds and it was a good choice to replace a regular gym with it. Even if I swap some of those disliked exercises it can be a hell of a work to get through a wod if I give in everything I can. And scaling up is always a thing to push further. :)
Thanks for the comment!! It sounds like you found a great instructor/gym and are doing things safely! You’re keeping things exciting and still able to see where CrossFit can take you!!
I'm 40 I work out a lot and it's been a journey. We can all get in shape with mind muscle connection
💪👊
Greta video the one thing I’d add is mobility and range of motion work too.
For sure! Mobility is a big part of my warm up!
I'm 41 and wanting to get back into shape. I signed up for the gym yesterday and only did cardio for 25 minutes. The reason being, I always go way too hard when I get back into working out and end up hurting myself, resulting in not being able to workout. Anyways, it's nice to see this confirmation that "just getting back into it" in any shape or form, is the way to go. I'm currently 225 and my weight class, according to BJJ coaches in the recent past, said I would be a 155 pounder. lol. I have ways to go. Obviously 155 is a weight cut scenario so Ideally I think I want to shoot for 175 walking. Here's to the long ass journey to drop 50!!!!
Long as journeys are the best ones Daniel!! Get that nutrition in place too!!!
First of all, Jason you are a hero to the CF Masters community. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. As a newly minted 50 year old who still feels 35 mentally, do you think it’s possible to gain muscle and get significantly stronger into your 50’s? I am 5 months into full time CrossFit but had been lifting, running, doing tons of push-ups, pull ups, and sit ups prior to starting CF. I started my fitness journey at 44 and managed to go from 152lbs to 160lbs now. But realistically, even though I can occasionally do a Men’s Rx workout and compete most body weight Metcons, I feel like I need to be at least 10 lbs heavier to be strong enough to do this at a high level. What are your thoughts about that?
Thanks - Patrick
Excellent! You ticked off all the boxes that have helped me.
51 years old, 167 lbs, been surfing since my teens but not in the best shape. Surfing is great but not regular enough.
Started w/ walking on a regular basis. Stopped drinking 1-2 beers every day. Cut out soft drinks, table sugar, etc. and added more lean protein and healthy fats. Added 2 more days to strength training from only 1. Currently laying a foundation of cardio conditioning w/ sprints on the beach and brisk walking. I basically said to myself, what can I do today to add to my health and fitness? What can I do that I'm not doing even if it is very small.
Thank you for the honest and helpful advice. You have a great channel.
Thanks Kevin! You're on the right track brother!!!! (Now... Teach me to surf my friend)
@@JasonGrubb 🤣🤣 Probably like CrossFit-->>Lots of practice in the water w/ proper form. Start w/ a longer board. Learn to spot the right waves. 1 year to really call yourself a surfer. With your fitness level it would be a matter of training your muscles to perform all the maneuvers. Cheers!
@@Kyntai And... not sink to the bottom of the ocean! :-)
@@JasonGrubb or learn scuba diving, then it's okay to sink :) (actually that's one thing on my bucket list I would like to try one day with proper equipment, I've heard it's the closest thing to a space walk an everyday person can experience)
@ Ha ha! For sure!
Excellent content. Are you planning on creating any videos on how to perform olympic lifts and the progression of these movements for master athletes.
That’s not something I’ve thought of, but I’ll add it to the list 👍
Great information, always enjoy your videos! I have been doing CrossFit for a few years now, and have never been able to dial in the nutrition piece. How would I look into your nutrition coaching program? Do you have some sample/ examples of how your programming looks? Do you base things on Macro Counting, etc. Thank You!
Take a look at my website www.jasongrubb.com/
If you have further questions, either DM me on Instagram or shoot me an email 👊
Great video! Can you do content on nutrition or like what you eat in a day?
You bet Philip!!!
as always great insight from an elite athlete! question.....which is harder to correct-mobility or nutrition??
Lorenzo... they're both difficult in their own way. Mobility has taken me years to improve... years of daily work! Nutrition is much faster (with faster results as well) :-)
Same exact story, walked into a gym for 1st time in my life age 51, went crazy trying hard. In a yr my knees were screaming hurt
Common mistake!! Hope you're healthy again now!
The Mayhem Everyday Athlete programming follows this pattern nicely and is a great place to start this progression.
The Mayhem 30 contains a Bodyweight variant, and a slightly more difficult Minimal Equipment variant of each days WOD.
Then when you're ready, you can switch over to the Mayhem Scaled, or the Mayhem 60. All of which are contained within the same Everyday Athlete programming.
Thats true!! And use my code: JASON to save some $. I also have a bodyweight 12 week program to get started at www.jasongrubb.com/
I’m 46 and finally in the best shape and still progressing. I’ve done running, calisthenics, powerlifting, CrossFit… IF, low carb, high carb, blah blah bla-- listen. Mix it up. Be consistent daily. Get your cardio and work capacity up, eat moderately and don’t punish yourself. Push yourself harder than you ever have before on some days and dial it back the next day. Be consistent daily. Clean your house and do projects before or after working out or running or whatever you’re doing that day. Be consistent. Don’t ever take a full rest day. Your life will toss you enough days that will force it- so don’t schedule it. Be consistent daily like brushing your teeth. If all you can do is ten minutes.. then do ten minutes and go hard. Make it count. But do something everyday. Be consistent and patient and do it for physical and mental health. The aesthetics well come but shouldn’t be the top goal- it can lead to body dysmenorrhea and self loathing. Focus on performance, how you feel in your own skin and pushing yourself when it’s wise to do so. I currently follow these principles and find that I’m progressing faster than when I took off days, pursued aesthetics and strength only.
Consistency is key!
@@JasonGrubb Yessir!!
Thanks for sharing! Your story has been a motivation for me. Would you say that starting the M30 bodyweight workouts from Mayhem is a great start for a 35 yr old in the worse shape of his life, as myself? Considering your advice here.
I would say that starting with M30 would be solid... or start with my 12 week bodyweight program - it's inexpensive, and you have lifetime access. It's a place that a ton of people have started. Find it here: www.jasongrubb.com/
I'm 50 and haven't exercised regularly in 12 years besides a lot of walking. I'm dying trying to keep up with my HiiT class. I don't understand the movements, my joints are sore, my forearm seems to have gotten tendonitis, ... I joined my Crossfit gym about 3 weeks ago. I thought I'd start with Hiit classes there three times per week, but I can't recover in time. I can't even do the warmups! I'm 50lbs overweight. I've decided to drop to two classes per week and then just practice learning the exercises at my own pace on a third day. It's like I also need to work on mobility too. I'm sticking with it, but struggling inside.
You gotta take two steps back... it's probably starting with too much. It takes time... to even develop that base level of fitness. I can help ya if you want!
Sure! How so? Would it require stopping my classes?@@JasonGrubb
@@ungarlinski7965 Yes. I would dial back in this case an hire a personal trainer or remote trainer (like me) to help guide you along.
Follow the link in your description?@@JasonGrubb
Ha! My first visit to a CrossFit gym with an instructor led session and we did barbell squats and hangcleans with overhead press! Two things that you recommend not to do right away. We also did the reverse handstand wall crawls. I though they were all fun and difficult and I went back the 2nd day. Despite my leg muscles being super sore I thought surely it won’t be another leg day. Wrong. Lots of leg workouts like the one-leg scissor squat (not sure that’s what it’s called), and burpees followed by medicine ball lunges.
I could barely get up the stairs at home after that. Took a day off in complete muscle burning pain and today is the second day after. The competitor in me wants to go back today but my body says I need a second day of pure rest because it’s always leg day at the CrossFit gym lol.
Hey buddy... that's a brutal welcome into CrossFit! Make sure you hydrate and keep your body moving... a light workout will usually do more for ya than a complete rest day. If you loved it and go back, you might have to be in charge of scaling the workout for yourself or tell the coach you need to scale down the reps/weights and ask their opinion. Good luck! If you're looking for a beginner program that could help bridge the gap before a CF gym, I have one here: jasongrubb.com/bolder-launch
@@JasonGrubb thank you. I’ll review it and see if I need it after another week or two.
Excellent Video!! 👍☺️ You mentioned you had an injury with your shoulders. I Would like to know how you solved this problem? Any Routine you can recommend?? Thanks ahead, greetings from germany
I did... I used Crossover Symmetry every day (for over 8 years now). Amazing results for my shoulders!! crossoversymmetry.com/?ref=jasongrubb
Hi Jason, I’m 34 and thinking of joining a CrossFit gym and came across your channel and I’ve seen a few videos with lots of information, I think I have great commitment but something that worries me is the nutrition, not sure what I should be eating if I should complement with protein shakes or something similar, how do you suggest I should do the nutrition?
In advance thanks and keep up the great work! You’re an inspiring story
If you want a very simple nutrition lesson - my Bolder Beginnings program (free) has a nutrition piece that will help you learn exactly what to eat... here: www.bolderathlete.com/bolder-beginnings
DUDE, you live in CO?! We should hike sometime!!!
What has helped me is to start warming up with whatever clothes I’m wearing 😁 (jeans, work clothes). Then I start getting hot 🥵 and I’ll change into my workout clothes and just go from there 🙂
Great idea Becky!!
Was in my best shape of my life about 10 years ago when I was doing Crossfit before the birth of my youngest daughter. 46 years old and want to get back to that shape again
Dan... I'd be happy to help brother! If you're ready to start from scatch!
What type of nutrition coaching do you offer? I really like your content.
Thanks for the interest- you can find all that info on my homepage here: www.jasongrubb.com/
Hey J love your work.
Just a quick question. When u first started did you do any specific bodybuilding exercises like barbell curls or the like or was it all CrossFit movements. 🙏
It was all CrossFit brother... no bb curls or any bodybuilding specific movements that would isolate any individual muscle or joint. The CrossFit methodology is built around functional, practical movements that incorporate most of the body. Just followed that the entire time.
Any chance you could share how you got over the old rotator cuff injury? I'm also struggling with this, primarily with anything overhead.
Honestly, I used crossover symmetry every day. Still do. Carry my own set around with me in the RV. crossoversymmetry.com/?ref=jasongrubb
As a 40 year old, still getting used to that, I know this is aimed at me but this just seems like solid common sense approach for anyone just starting out. Thanks
Truth - it is common sense!
Hi Jason, very inspirational videos. I have to ask, just to keep it realistic for myself, were you on TRT at some point?
Never, my friend. Thanks for commenting! It’s all hard work and diet my friend. I do share a bit about my thoughts on TRT or any PEDs here: th-cam.com/video/Xzk6gk7Ey_U/w-d-xo.html
@@JasonGrubb Thank you
Hi Jason,
Thank you for sharing. I started at 42 (now 50) and love the sport. I would say my main challenge is snatching. For some reason I do not land below paralel when I put on more than 40 kg. 65-70 in powersnatch is ok. Mobility is decent. I can sit below paralel, but my head want. Any suggestion? Klaus
He Klaus! I would recommend practicing the Tall Snatch (very light weight) over and over and over and over!! th-cam.com/video/dCiugtIWFrU/w-d-xo.html
@@JasonGrubb thank you. Will try tomorrow!
@@klausholthe3507 your shoulders and last sound like they won't rotate with a medium weight because under pressure your shoulders won't relax.
For 45+ CrossFit guys is it better to do 3-4 hard and have complete rest days in between or say 5 days of classic 1hr class with strength, skill and WOD or some other combo? And where do you train? I can see Pike’s peak too from my window. Thanks for the inspiration. Just found your channel after seeing you compete in the past
Hey there! great questions!! I don't have rest days - except Sunday. Thursdays are a lighter recovery day. But for general health... 1 class per day is totally cool. To be competitive in this sport requires around 2-4 hours of training a day, day after day. With a long careful ramp up period.
And I'm at colorado heights rv park in Monument. For just a couple more days... then on to Madison.
Even though my starting routine would still be slightly different, I still should have checked my ego and ramped up very slowly. I’m 41 and been doing CrossFit off and on since 2017. I’m starting to get some low back issues but uncertain as to what is the cause. I also have a ruptured AC joint now and have no clue how or when it happened. I do believe it was from going to hard at my age. I have a 245 pound strict press but I don’t think my joints are holding up. I have since backed off of heavy movements overhead and stopped my pursuit of aggressive movements like muscle ups until my joints can handle it, if ever.
Dang dude. Our bodies have a way of telling us to slow down even when we don't want to hear it! Good job checking your ego now and backing off to live to fight another day 👊
@@JasonGrubb thanks Jason and congratulations to your 3rd big win! You’re an inspiration to all of us over 40 crowd. I’ll catch back up soon, my competitive nature won’t let me stay idle too long.
I get that brother!
This is great. Complements Atomic Habits philosophy.
For sure - love atomic habits!!
Jason, I (age 38) am doing CF for almost a year now, and i quickly gas out on the ski erg, assault bike etc. Do you have any tips for people like me to train endurance at home? should i be doing burpees all day? or sprint/run? :)
Pacing is key on those movements... so is being properly fueled (food wise) for that kind of endurance. Does that make sense? But you can increase your aerobic capacity at home (no burpees all day)... by running, sprinting, interval work, and zone 2 training.
@@JasonGrubb thanks. Im picking up running also. Yesterday it was 5 rounds off 350 meters ski, 10 overhead squats en 3 c2b’s… i died..
Any good tips for weight lifter trying to be able to do pull ups. Already trying heavy pull downs and assistance chin ups
Just weighing almost 220 it's difficult
I would add Pull Up Negatives to your training 2x a week. Not too many. 5 sets of 3... twice a week. Basically... jump to the top of a pull up and lower yourself down as slow as you can. This is hugely helpful for building the strength for strict pull ups!!
@@JasonGrubb I think I have done that before. 218 and 50y/o I could do them in my younger days.
Hmmm ...I think I would start someone off by learning barbell movements: squat, deadlift, bench press, standing overhead press. I am convinced people need to be strong first before they take a deep dive into CrossFit. Those barbell movements will get you pretty strong in a 3x5 or 5x5 linear progression. I believe strength is the foundation for fitness, and then you can add the cardio component.
There are different approaches... but I prefer bodyweight movements in order to get form and technique, as well as core strength in order before moving external weights. But I do love when people get to move weights!
Jason, were you a wedding photographer? I feel like we've run across each other before in photographer's forums maybe LOL!!! If not, apologies. GREAT video!
Hey Chris! Yep - I was a wedding photographer in Colorado for nearly 10 years!!
Would like to hear how you fixed your shoulder injury? I’ve just started CrossFit this year, I’ve just turned 44 and have issues with my shoulder, especially when doing lifts overhead or kipping.
Hey Stu! I started using Crossover Symmetry (every single workout day) as part of my warm up. The Activation Protocol is great! Take it slow, stay light with it. But 8 years later, my shoulders are bulletproof dude. And I lift overhead and kip multiple times a week!!!
@@JasonGrubb Hi Jason, I couldn’t find anywhere in the uk that sells crossover symmetry but found something similar. Had one session on it and shoulders are already feeling better, it’s fairly shocking actually because I’ve tried so many other things, thanks for the tip :)
@@stimroll That's absolutely awesome!
Hanging from a bar everyday is actually proven to be helpful with healing your shoulder as well.
Thanks for the video. Im 194 pounds and and I need to lose 30 pounds to be at a good weight for my height 5’7. Can I lose this weight doing CrossFit? Or will gain or stay the same weight but muscular? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.
You can lose the weight doing CrossFit - but remember it's mostly diet that affects your weight. If you need help there - let's work together on that! www.jasongrubb.com/nutrition-coaching
Hi Mr. Grubb, I have a question. (BTW, since my first comment I'm on my way in the crossfit - movement. 😊. I got rid of alcohol and I started training in a crossfit - gym😊) now my question : on a recovery day, should I really do nothing or maybe just do stretching and mobility exercises? 🤔. Would be awesome if you could help me out with this. Greetings from Germany. Yves👋
Thanks Yves for the view and question! Hope you’re enjoying your dive into the CRossFit universe! During the week I have one active recovery day where I do zone 2 biking (Mayhem programming) and a true recovery day on Sundays where I try to get a swim in, a nice walk, maybe a sauna or hot tub… something low key. Mobility is part of my warmup every day, but it definitely doesn’t hurt to get another session if it feels good for your body!!
@@JasonGrubb thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. 😊👍💪. Crossing fingers you'll make it again at the games😊👍
Thanks dude!!! Me, too 🤞
im 38 man. i do farming and trying to learn basketball, so im hitting the weights, pool exercises, and focused on core, knees and feet. just wondering if body pains are normal and part of the process. i was hoping one day ill wake up without body pains
I wake up sore most days. But not in pain. Somebody pains are normal… But they can also be a result of improper form or technique. Do you have a coach they can take a look at your movement? Or would you consider a fairly inexpensive program to master bodyweight movements before you move heavier weights?

@@JasonGrubb appreciate the comment. Ill check that out. I do havr a friend who coaches me.
I hear ya. I knew I hit rock bottom when I drank Red Stripe beer, too.
100% :-)
Sharp rib pain is likely a pulled intercostal muscle. It sucks, since your rib cage expands with each breath.
I think it was!! And it was brutal!
Strange. The first Crossfit gym I joined wouldn’t let me join any class until I went through a few starter class and show that I was comfortable with the movements
That's a good gym right there!!
Fitness needs to be a lifestyle not a fad. The number one obstacle to fitness is mental so that's why it's important to make it rewarding and fun! Cross training in my opinion is important. Any training program that is regimented will lead to burnout. I observed a crossfit class and was shocked at the extreme jerky movements. If you want to be an elite lifter then it's one way to go but not for the average person wanting to get into shape. I do hit the gym at least three times a week but also mountain bike, disk golf and ill push mow the yard instead of using the riding lawn mower. All for training! But most importantly is you diet. No junk food. Keep your meals light and more often. All the traing in the world won't make up for a poor diet.
100% agree with the foundation of good sleep and nutrition! No way around it.
Sorry you had a bad experience watching a CrossFit class. A good gym with exceptional coaches will keep people very safe. As a fitness modality, CrossFit is very safe - but there are bad examples out there in just about every sport or fitness program unfortunately.
Your first point is the number 1 reason so many fitness enthusiasts absolutely hate CrossFit. Olympic lifts are very technical movements for a human to perform correctly and it's widely accepted to throw complete noobies into a class for the first time and have them do exorbitant amounts of reps with a technical movement under load. Your asking for so much unnecessary trouble.
Totally agree... there is a necessary progression before throwing barbells overhead!!!
Protect your joints. Listen to your body. Don’t ego lift
Spot on!
Love it , leave your ego at the door.
I order your t shirt my goal is to compete in the master crossfit games
Can’t wait to see you there 💪💪💪
I do love a red stripe though 🍺😂
Is there anything better when relaxing on the beach of a Caribbean island?
