The Fitness Burden - Episode 17 (Why your programming, or lack thereof, matters.)
Update: 2015-10-03
Description
- Topic #1 Even the best of programs that are not followed, will not work.
- There are personal trainers, fitness experts, and strength coaches who have made entire careers, lucrative careers designing workout programs. If you don’t believe us, just google the “300 Workout” or do a search for Tom Hardy’s workout to get in shape for his role as Bane is the most recent Batman movie. Hollywood actors and fitness enthusiasts will pay a pretty penny for the “perfect” workout regimen.
- But programs only work if they are followed.
- Placebo affect. It doesn’t matter so much what the program is, so long as you follow the program.
- Topic #2 But, I thought you said CrossFit was supposed to be “Constantly Varied”
- Yes, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a plan of attack. Benjamin Franklin, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.”
- Rest & Recovery
- Double-dipping on movements and body parts. (CrossFitters love to do more than necessary) “Well Rich Froning trains 6 times a day.”
- Topic #3 What does our cycling look like?
- Importance of accommodating multiple session / week athletes.
- 5, 4, 3 Rule - Why something similar is essential to every workout program
- 8 week cycles - conjugate max approach
- Topic #4 Auxiliary Work: What is the goal or objective?
- Weaknesses not strengths
- Supplementary & complimentary movements: i.e. a push and a pull.
- Sleep, eat, train in that order. (Prioritize: getting 1 extra workout will not balance out your lack of mobility, poor sleep, and crappy eating habits.
- Topic #5 Explanation of a program
- Ask your coaches and trainers about the programming. Find out what you can be doing as an athlete to improve.
- It is all relative. Driving 80mph is a zig-zag line is far more dangerous and ends up taking just as long or longer than driving 60mph and going in a straight line.
