@@_wilsonchung glad you’re enjoying them Wilson, I really appreciate the support! The next two will be early next week, I’m doing an internal competition at our gym on Saturday which is 4 workouts in about 4 hours, so I need to save some energy for those!
what do you think about breaking the dubs up early to manage the HR? I've just found since there is really only one speed on DU (unlike say a rower), the only solution is to break early to save the the heart rate from ballooning up too early in a workout.
@@ryan.coogler Hey Ryan- great question! I can say from my experience, I know exactly what you’re saying and how it feels. But, only you know you, so whatever the number is mentally that you feel you can stay calm/controlled, that’s what you should do. The general rule I use for myself is 60. 60 or less, I go for it, 60+ I have a breakup plan. I expected to do 2 sets, but I still felt good as I moved through 60-70 reps (meaning no sig HR increase). So, in the moment, I went for it. I felt calm enough that I still expected to get right into the WB and go for a big set. All that said, I remember when my DU number was 40. Any more than that and I would be breaking. So, as long as you’re continuing the work/practice/training, you’ll be able to increase that number over time! Hope that helps!
@@MFMustache I've done some thinking on this, and older athletes have a lower max HR, which gives us less wiggle room for the Dubs. It might be one the hardest movements for aging athletes because of the inability to modulate the speed and therefore its affect on the heart rate. Sorry to opine so much, but I enjoy seeing how you're able to push through compared to many others in the same age bracket.
@@ryan.cooglerlove that you’re opining Ryan! And while I see the validity in your opinion, I would counter it with the one @jasongrubb - that man can drop his heart rate/rest on DU’s! I also believe he is an exception, however, from my 16 years of CrossFit experience, I believe the biggest “secret” is becoming efficient at the movements. The more efficient you can become, the “easier” the work becomes. And while you CAN’T increase your max heart rate as you age, you CAN increase your efficiency at movements (including, imo, dub’s).
That look rough. Great job on the dubs, WB and burpees (the unbroken set of WB after the dubs was impressive). Those hang cleans looked tough.
@@davebullamore8522 thanks Dave! That dang barbell always gets me…at least I know where I need to be better, that’s half the battle, right?!?
@@MFMustache for sure! For me, the WB would be my rate limiter.
I wanna be like you when I grow up! Great work.
Haha, thank you Beck!
Great videos brother and amazing work! Thanks for putting these out there 👊🏽🙏🏽

@@MFMustache Good point. Something I will think about pre/post workouts and test out!
