Own Your Workout

WEBVTT
00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:00.630
Okay.
00:00:00.630 --> 00:00:02.729
From the top, sorry, what were you saying from the top?
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:14.039
Um, I was saying this episode is all gonna be about owning your workout, which I'm sure we've talked about to some degree in the other episodes because so many themes are overarching.
00:00:14.130 --> 00:00:14.220
Mm-hmm.
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:23.530
But this is one that as a coach, I have found myself saying this to a lot of people in the last just couple of weeks.
00:00:23.710 --> 00:00:23.829
Mm-hmm.
00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:27.219
With conversations that I've had in progress reviews and.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:38.170
It's one of those topics that I think comes up if you're even making that appointment, like you're owning your experience here mm-hmm.
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.600
To take the time to meet with your coach.
00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:40.719
Mm-hmm.
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:49.840
And so I just wanna open that door for everybody just a little bit more, uh, to really fully take advantage of what coaching can really provide for you.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.920
Yes, we, yeah, actually talked about this with our coaches recently too.
00:00:53.924 --> 00:00:54.034
Mm-hmm.
00:00:54.115 --> 00:00:54.914
So this is actually mm-hmm.
00:00:54.994 --> 00:00:55.195
Coming out.
00:00:55.195 --> 00:00:55.515
Mm-hmm.
00:00:55.990 --> 00:01:05.290
Uh, once a month we get together with all of the team and we do what we call a coaches collab, uh, where we collaborate as coaches to help each other improve.
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:11.724
And, uh, right now we're early building this team, so it's a little bit of top down, but, uh, the.
00:01:12.334 --> 00:01:17.075
Hope for that is to be just more and more collaborative as we all grow together as a team.
00:01:17.435 --> 00:01:26.674
But there was a big theme that we talked about is helping each individual in the class get what they need out of it and not just what the program says they should do.
00:01:26.974 --> 00:01:30.034
Because we don't want to be a cookie cutter program.
00:01:30.114 --> 00:01:40.795
It is great to be able to follow programs online or be given a program by, by a coach that some people really find value in just being told what to do without having to overthink their whole programming.
00:01:40.795 --> 00:01:41.635
We hear that a lot, don't we?
00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:42.250
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:42.355 --> 00:01:45.515
But at the same time it's a framework.
00:01:45.575 --> 00:01:50.674
It's not, uh, a religious text that must be followed by the letter.
00:01:50.825 --> 00:01:51.094
Right.
00:01:51.094 --> 00:01:55.325
It's like, well, it's a framework for you to follow and for your coach to help you follow Exactly.
00:01:55.355 --> 00:01:55.685
By.
00:01:56.510 --> 00:01:59.060
Customizing it for you in the moment based on what you need.
00:01:59.150 --> 00:01:59.420
Right.
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:04.269
And so people need, and that's the difference between coaching and just going, leading a class.
00:02:04.269 --> 00:02:04.329
Yeah.
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.090
Or just like going to any other gym and following an app.
00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:11.560
Like you are not gonna get the customization in the moment.
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:11.650
Mm-hmm.
00:02:11.889 --> 00:02:19.539
And I know a lot of people might just attribute that to being a response to your fitness level, but it's more than that.
00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:22.689
It's like what your actual objectives are too, don't you think?
00:02:23.025 --> 00:02:36.794
One of the reasons that I wanted to bring this up is because I feel like this becomes more apparent or obvious to people who have been with us a while, or people like you and me who are really experts at tailoring workouts for ourselves.
00:02:36.824 --> 00:02:36.914
Mm-hmm.
00:02:37.155 --> 00:02:40.724
And what we're currently challenged with, or what we're wanting to work towards.
00:02:41.085 --> 00:02:43.724
I feel almost maybe too much liberty sometimes.
00:02:44.115 --> 00:02:45.615
Looking at a program and mm-hmm.
00:02:46.034 --> 00:02:48.074
Contorting it to fit my needs.
00:02:48.134 --> 00:02:48.224
Mm-hmm.
00:02:48.525 --> 00:02:51.014
But I want everybody to develop that skill.
00:02:51.014 --> 00:02:51.074
Yeah.
00:02:51.104 --> 00:02:52.965
I'm really explicit about that.
00:02:53.055 --> 00:03:07.034
I wanna talk about a, a little bit of that balance too, because you can swing way too far the other way and I want to, I think I do that, I wanna address that, but I think even for a more experienced athlete or someone who's been working with us for a long time, can still.
00:03:07.969 --> 00:03:14.900
Forget, uh, about taking ownership of their own workout and, and making modifications where needed because sometimes.
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.870
Part of the growth path is to get closer and closer to an RX workout, right?
00:03:21.870 --> 00:03:29.729
So if something's on the board and we celebrate those victories of when people can do them as prescribed mm-hmm.
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.250
That becomes sort of an objective for some people.
00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:42.300
And I, you can be on a really good path for six months, 12 months, three years, getting closer and closer to being a more RX athlete in quotes.
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.349
Um.
00:03:43.835 --> 00:03:46.895
Then something happens to set you back.
00:03:47.525 --> 00:03:55.645
That person I think, can sometimes need a, a good reminder that, you know, you're just here to get the best workout that you need for the place that you're in right now.
00:03:55.645 --> 00:03:55.750
Right now.
00:03:55.754 --> 00:03:56.034
Yeah.
00:03:56.185 --> 00:03:59.395
Uh, it's not about getting closer and closer to that rx.
00:03:59.395 --> 00:04:05.004
Yes, we wanna celebrate that'cause it's just a signal of growth, but it is not the objective.
00:04:05.389 --> 00:04:08.990
The objective is of this program is not to follow the program to the letter.
00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:12.139
The objective of the program is to make you a healthier human being.
00:04:12.349 --> 00:04:14.930
So let's with changing, with constantly changing circumstances.
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:14.990
Yeah.
00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:17.060
And let's make sure that that's the priority.
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:17.480
Yeah.
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:18.769
The workout isn't the priority.
00:04:18.769 --> 00:04:21.980
Your body is the priority, and those changing circumstances are.
00:04:23.764 --> 00:04:25.595
You know how you slept last night?
00:04:25.714 --> 00:04:25.774
Yeah.
00:04:25.894 --> 00:04:27.485
How old you are today?
00:04:27.694 --> 00:04:27.875
Yeah.
00:04:27.875 --> 00:04:28.235
Job change.
00:04:28.235 --> 00:04:31.144
Um, did you just come back from vacation?
00:04:31.595 --> 00:04:31.834
Pizza?
00:04:31.865 --> 00:04:32.615
Um, yeah.
00:04:32.615 --> 00:04:34.654
I just, we just had a new pizza.
00:04:35.045 --> 00:04:36.845
We just had a new signup start the other day.
00:04:36.845 --> 00:04:44.464
And I was showing her how to use the readiness score and train heroic and I'm genuinely curious how many people use that.
00:04:44.865 --> 00:04:46.845
I don't think that the readiness score is.
00:04:47.504 --> 00:04:51.944
By all, by any means, like a requirement or necessary for you to do well in the gym.
00:04:51.975 --> 00:05:01.545
However, what I think the readiness score, so when you open up your train heroic app and it says start session, it asks you about your sleep, your soreness, your mood.
00:05:01.644 --> 00:05:03.654
Your something.
00:05:05.454 --> 00:05:05.485
Oh.
00:05:05.485 --> 00:05:06.324
Do you remember any others?
00:05:06.384 --> 00:05:10.274
Uh, yeah, it's sleep, soreness, mood, energy.
00:05:10.305 --> 00:05:10.485
Mm-hmm.
00:05:10.814 --> 00:05:13.004
And there's a fifth one.
00:05:15.290 --> 00:05:15.930
I forget anyway.
00:05:15.930 --> 00:05:16.605
You get the idea.
00:05:16.605 --> 00:05:17.355
One of those.
00:05:17.725 --> 00:05:20.394
And so what I think I, oh, I'm already getting warm.
00:05:20.725 --> 00:05:28.915
Um, what I appreciate about it is that it reminds us or trains us to check in with ourselves.
00:05:28.975 --> 00:05:29.185
Yeah.
00:05:29.305 --> 00:05:36.774
And I think if you are one of the people who just come into the gym and look at the board and already expect of yourself.
00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:41.860
I'm gonna do that as it's written without checking in with yourself.
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:48.699
That is a little bit of a dangerous game to play, in my opinion, and to me, that's not owning the workout.
00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:50.620
To me, that's being almost like.
00:05:51.024 --> 00:05:52.350
A slave to the word, right?
00:05:52.350 --> 00:05:52.629
Mm-hmm.
00:05:52.709 --> 00:05:57.865
Like you are not making decisions for yourself with ever changing circumstances.
00:05:58.074 --> 00:05:58.254
Yeah.
00:05:58.254 --> 00:06:01.764
And that's how people get into really dicey situations, right?
00:06:01.915 --> 00:06:02.214
Yeah.
00:06:02.214 --> 00:06:05.605
Well, and this kind of brings up a point I wanted to talk to you about.
00:06:05.605 --> 00:06:13.055
We, when we were discussing what this podcast should be about, you had mentioned a couple things and weren't sure if they would, make a hole.
00:06:13.735 --> 00:06:14.754
Podcast, the whole episode.
00:06:14.814 --> 00:06:18.175
Uh, but one of those was self-talk and Oh, okay.
00:06:18.225 --> 00:06:20.685
The reason I relate this together is that I think it's, it's.
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:28.689
When people are discouraged with their own performance, it has less to do with their performance and more to do with their expectations.
00:06:29.110 --> 00:06:29.199
Mm-hmm.
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.480
And so if your expectation is, oh, I should be able to do what's on that board.
00:06:34.509 --> 00:06:34.569
Yeah.
00:06:34.569 --> 00:06:37.149
Should is it really does not exist in the gym.
00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:37.569
Yeah.
00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:47.480
And so, it's kind of a reality check that I think we should all, should we, we would all benefit from taking a mindset of.
00:06:49.250 --> 00:06:55.129
Working with where, what we have versus what we wish we had or what we think we ought to have.
00:06:55.550 --> 00:07:02.290
And a good analogy for this that I just wanna talk to you about is my experience with drawing in the last few years.
00:07:02.350 --> 00:07:02.439
Mm-hmm.
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:13.509
It's frustrating for me, but the reason why drawing is frustrating to me is that I know at a time in my life 30 years ago, I was better at it than I am now.
00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:14.990
Like I was immersed in it.
00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:15.649
I was doing it.
00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:16.250
Often.
00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:23.060
I would pull all-nighters working on an art piece, and I was part of that culture.
00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:28.639
Like I was working at an art gallery and I was, you know, surrounded by artists all the time and.
00:07:28.824 --> 00:07:36.595
And making your own stationary and yeah, trying to start, that was one of my first businesses I ever tried to launch, and so that was my world.
00:07:36.595 --> 00:07:41.064
And then here I'm 30 years later and I sit down to draw.
00:07:41.064 --> 00:07:47.454
And one reason it's frustrating is I know I have so much more, you know, quote unquote potential to be able to draw.
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:48.879
Better.
00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:53.139
And I can see the mistakes as it's happening, but I just don't have the skill to fix it.
00:07:53.540 --> 00:08:00.379
And so that's a frustrating place to be, but the only reason it's frustrating is because of my expectation of thinking I should be able to draw better.
00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:03.500
But here's the reality, I haven't drawn consistently for 30 years.
00:08:03.709 --> 00:08:08.959
So what diluted part of myself thinks that I should be able to draw better than I am.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.370
And it's like, well, I haven't.
00:08:11.345 --> 00:08:13.295
We, what does the last 10 years look like?
00:08:13.295 --> 00:08:19.894
You know, I see people in the gym kind of shaking their head about oh, I didn't do that well, or I didn't do as many as I thought I should.
00:08:19.894 --> 00:08:25.264
And it's like, Hey, you've been consistent for the last six months or a year we've been seeing progress in you.
00:08:25.504 --> 00:08:32.284
But I think sometimes that expectation is like, well let, let's just take a bigger step back and like, look at the last 10 years.
00:08:32.284 --> 00:08:32.345
Yeah.
00:08:32.524 --> 00:08:34.654
What's the last 10 years of your life looked like?
00:08:34.955 --> 00:08:35.554
And then.
00:08:36.110 --> 00:08:39.769
Compare that with your expectation of what you think you should be able to do.
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.009
It's like, well, then it makes'em a little more sense.
00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:43.519
Yeah.
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.029
There's evidence to support that, and I'm not trying to like knock on anybody.
00:08:47.029 --> 00:08:52.700
I'm just saying like, I think sometimes our own self-criticism is just a little bit of a lack of a reality check.
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.059
Yeah.
00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:54.500
It's like, oh, well I can't do.
00:08:55.289 --> 00:09:05.879
For instance, right now I'm not hitting any of my old strength numbers, but I've also had a ton of ups and downs in the last few years and a huge hiatus during the COVID era.
00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:06.029
Mm-hmm.
00:09:06.269 --> 00:09:09.720
And so it's like, why should I expect to be able to hit those numbers?
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.090
It's silly for me to be disappointed.
00:09:12.450 --> 00:09:13.710
I'm not disappointed'cause it's like.
00:09:14.309 --> 00:09:15.929
I haven't put in the work to be able to do that.
00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:16.169
Okay.
00:09:16.169 --> 00:09:17.789
We're veering off just a bit.
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:24.909
But I do wanna just say that in the last 10 years, even in the last five years, you have attended art class.
00:09:24.970 --> 00:09:25.090
Mm-hmm.
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:30.070
A structured opportunity for you to practice your drawing.
00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:31.870
Um, we did this at the Josephy Center.
00:09:32.769 --> 00:09:42.700
And what I think is important to circle or like to tie in here is that you had an instructor that you were able to get feedback from.
00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:42.820
Mm-hmm.
00:09:43.090 --> 00:09:52.090
To not only give you that reality check, but to give you the next steps or this is what I think you should focus on, and that's what our job is.
00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:57.940
I would really hate for people to come to this gym and just think of it as, oh, this is my opportunity to get a workout.
00:09:58.269 --> 00:09:59.754
This is an opportunity to have somebody.
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:04.830
In your corner who can give you the feedback to get you unstuck.
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.980
Of where you perceive yourself to be stuck.
00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:08.039
Yeah.
00:10:08.070 --> 00:10:23.610
And I say perceive yourself to be stuck because like you were saying, we could have really unfair expectations of ourselves and what I might just suggest you all think about or maybe even just ask about.
00:10:24.384 --> 00:10:31.404
If you're wondering about what we think you need improvement on, we are very happy to share that with you.
00:10:31.914 --> 00:10:39.985
Most of the time we operate wanting you to lead that conversation because we're meant to be a support system for you.
00:10:40.404 --> 00:10:43.705
So we don't want to make you do anything.
00:10:43.705 --> 00:10:46.195
Or you know, we've got our own set of values that we.
00:10:46.750 --> 00:10:56.259
Coach from, but if you are wondering where your deficits are or where your blocks are, that might get you further.
00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:58.179
We're happy to share that with you.
00:10:58.269 --> 00:11:06.019
And I think you might be surprised because we've been able to work with you all from day one here and everybody's, been with us for a different amount of time.
00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:13.549
But every single member that I work with, for instance, I can think of a time where.
00:11:14.205 --> 00:11:19.695
They were up against something that they couldn't move through, or I've been able to just see progress within everybody.
00:11:19.695 --> 00:11:24.585
I think I can point to progress for every single person, and it's kind of like.
00:11:26.789 --> 00:11:37.009
I'm trying to think of like another experience, like maybe if you're like on a weight loss journey and you get feedback from people who haven't seen you in a long time and they're like, wow, you look amazing.
00:11:37.190 --> 00:11:39.169
Sometimes you're too close to this situation.
00:11:39.169 --> 00:11:39.179
Mm-hmm.
00:11:39.220 --> 00:11:40.490
To notice change.
00:11:40.549 --> 00:11:40.639
Mm-hmm.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:49.129
But we have this perspective, even if we work with you regularly enough, removed from the situation to really notice and celebrate your wins.
00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:53.120
We try to do our best to remind you all of those and have the member spotlight.
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.049
You know, we only do two member spotlights a week, and.
00:11:57.190 --> 00:11:59.980
On any given week, there are so many moments Oh, yeah.
00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:06.610
That we celebrate, like at our dinner table, you know, you and I are talking about our members all the time of the cool thing they did that day.
00:12:06.730 --> 00:12:07.029
Yeah.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:07.840
Yeah.
00:12:07.929 --> 00:12:08.500
That's funny.
00:12:08.570 --> 00:12:13.700
In my rat pack class yesterday, somebody was asking if we just sit around and laugh about them.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.600
Oh my gosh, what?
00:12:15.529 --> 00:12:18.350
And I said, no, we actually, it's the opposite.
00:12:18.350 --> 00:12:19.879
We're actually just so proud of.
00:12:20.375 --> 00:12:22.804
Everybody here, we're always just bragging on about you guys.
00:12:22.985 --> 00:12:23.284
Oh my gosh.
00:12:23.465 --> 00:12:24.784
Let the record show.
00:12:25.144 --> 00:12:39.519
Oh, that is so not Well, it was funny in the moment because we were doing some agility, balance drills where we're throwing, it gets silly lacrosse balls and standing on one foot and, you know, doing kind of silly it, it feels silly'cause you're doing stupid human tricks.
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:45.809
But, the hope is that it's improving high hand eye coordination and balance and all this stuff, but it can feel awkward in the moment.
00:12:45.809 --> 00:12:47.250
And it was, it was funny.
00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:49.080
But no, we're very proud of all of you.
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:55.950
We actually almost always just have conversations about, the people in the gym that we see winning on different levels.
00:12:56.009 --> 00:12:59.429
Like whether it's a family who's all training together.
00:12:59.429 --> 00:12:59.820
Mm-hmm.
00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:12.210
And just how amazing we think it is when there's like parents and kids all working together in the same class and just how cool that is or well the other night you had told me that one of our students is paying for this class on their own.
00:13:12.210 --> 00:13:12.269
Yeah.
00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:13.769
Out of their own allowance.
00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:13.919
Yeah.
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.200
Or the money that they've made over the last few summers.
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.990
And like that brought me to tears, you know?
00:13:18.990 --> 00:13:19.049
Yeah.
00:13:19.110 --> 00:13:21.360
And that was just something that you and I exchanged like.
00:13:21.779 --> 00:13:23.070
Brushing our teeth before, you know?
00:13:24.215 --> 00:13:24.504
Yeah.
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:25.110
Yeah.
00:13:25.169 --> 00:13:25.769
Well, okay.
00:13:25.769 --> 00:13:27.990
We're, we're off topic.
00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:28.259
It's fine.
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.460
I wanna bring it back.
00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:44.399
So, um, I had mentioned that I had had a few conversations in the last few weeks of how to take ownership of your workout, and there's a lot of different reasons why I want to share this or a lot of different ways that you can go about this, but some examples to give you.
00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:56.009
Or we have had members who have maybe not gravitated towards the circuit kind of training that we do, and they want to appeal more to strength.
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.539
And I'm just gonna tell y'all, like we started this as a weightlifting only gym.
00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:00.629
Mm-hmm.
00:14:00.870 --> 00:14:03.360
But we came to find that that is not what the people wanted.
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.820
There's a reason that we enjoy CrossFit.
00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.230
Like it's a good time too.
00:14:07.230 --> 00:14:08.370
So it makes a lot of sense.
00:14:08.684 --> 00:14:10.875
As to why we became the gym that we are.
00:14:11.264 --> 00:14:15.375
But this particular member wanted more of a strength bias and how do we help them with that?
00:14:15.865 --> 00:14:22.924
I've had members who use this as a supplement to their running, uh, that is their main jam.
00:14:22.924 --> 00:14:24.215
They wanna do races.
00:14:24.424 --> 00:14:28.355
How do we support them in our classes for that pursuit?
00:14:28.475 --> 00:14:28.565
Mm-hmm.
00:14:29.375 --> 00:14:33.865
And I've got another sprinter who I work with in sport who, um.
00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:39.399
We wanted to talk about how to appeal to that stimulus too, in class.
00:14:39.909 --> 00:14:52.600
And then somebody else who came to me earlier, just yesterday about, um, another course that they were taking on their own about, posture, structure and restructuring.
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:52.690
Mm-hmm.
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.279
Uh, really from the bare bones if you will.
00:14:56.909 --> 00:15:02.759
And so, um, I've had conversations with all of these people of, okay, let's look at this workout.
00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:06.990
You know, we always make adjustments for this workout for our fitness level.
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:14.429
How do we finish it successfully within the timeframes, get the stimulus we want, but also leave here feeling accomplished.
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.240
I always try to remind people like, this is not meant to beat you down.
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:27.240
I want you to leave here smiling, and the most important skill that you can develop here is how do we adjust a workout for you.
00:15:27.644 --> 00:15:28.845
So that can happen.
00:15:28.924 --> 00:15:31.294
But we can take it a step further.
00:15:31.534 --> 00:15:36.605
And how do we customize, or how do we adapt to this template that we prescribe?
00:15:36.634 --> 00:15:38.014
'cause that's what it is, it's template.
00:15:38.315 --> 00:15:46.835
How do we tailor that for your specific goals, if that is for a strength bias, a speed and power bias?
00:15:47.085 --> 00:15:50.184
Or how would we like a stability bias?
00:15:50.184 --> 00:15:52.495
I don't know how else to, to phrase that in the moment.
00:15:52.495 --> 00:15:52.928
Um, and so.
00:15:54.083 --> 00:15:55.524
Or cardiovascular output or whatever.
00:15:55.524 --> 00:15:55.854
Yeah, totally.
00:15:55.854 --> 00:15:58.043
Some people need that, first and foremost.
00:15:58.374 --> 00:15:58.464
Mm-hmm.
00:15:58.465 --> 00:15:58.859
Yeah, for sure.
00:15:59.318 --> 00:16:06.219
And I think that this is where training really gets interesting because it's no longer just this like thing you're getting through.
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:18.489
The closer, like the faster we can get people to the that point where they can look at a workout and this is gonna work for me and challenge me where I want slash need to be challenged.
00:16:18.729 --> 00:16:26.589
That's where things get so much more interesting and it really does take an extra mental step and a little bit of.
00:16:27.053 --> 00:16:32.484
Preparation and strategy that, you know, if you're not appealing to that, it's no biggie.
00:16:32.484 --> 00:16:37.073
Like the fact that everybody is showing up and moving is really priority number one.
00:16:37.134 --> 00:16:37.224
Mm-hmm.
00:16:37.464 --> 00:16:47.573
I just wanna say that there is the opportunity to kind of advance the experience and you and I as coaches do this for ourselves all the time with, our own goals and.
00:16:48.548 --> 00:16:51.038
Very rapidly changing lifestyle.
00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:52.129
Sorry, I just said a lot.
00:16:52.609 --> 00:16:53.239
No, that's fine.
00:16:53.239 --> 00:16:54.229
That's, uh, it's all good.
00:16:54.328 --> 00:17:05.558
I think that's the meat and potatoes of what we're talking about is to identify what purpose of a workout is, and hold that up against your purpose for being here.
00:17:06.128 --> 00:17:16.898
And then try to get those things to match because if the workout doesn't seem to match why you're here, then that's the perfect opportunity to take ownership of it and say, oh, instead of this, can we try that?
00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:33.034
And, uh, because I think it's more in line with my goals or my needs, you know, you just said something that I don't wanna g glaze over and you were you didn't say it directly, but the thing is, is if you, if you start to, I feel like if you don't tap into why you're doing it or how this serves you mm-hmm.
00:17:33.273 --> 00:17:36.273
That's where it's really easy to skip class.
00:17:36.354 --> 00:17:41.243
Or get really unmotivated or like to get frustrated like you were saying before.
00:17:41.243 --> 00:17:46.884
And it's like, well take a minute to think about really what is it we're trying to achieve here.
00:17:46.884 --> 00:17:46.973
Mm-hmm.
00:17:47.544 --> 00:17:47.933
Yeah.
00:17:47.933 --> 00:17:47.993
Yeah.
00:17:48.864 --> 00:17:50.034
The getting frustrated.
00:17:50.034 --> 00:17:50.693
'cause you can't do.
00:17:51.384 --> 00:17:52.134
Thrusters.
00:17:52.659 --> 00:17:53.378
Properly.
00:17:53.739 --> 00:17:58.269
It's like, well it was your goal when you signed up here to be able to do a thruster properly.
00:17:58.273 --> 00:17:58.364
Mm-hmm.
00:17:58.443 --> 00:17:59.604
Because I don't think it was right.
00:17:59.888 --> 00:18:06.528
I think your goal was to like get leaner and feel more capable and have more energy in your life and to be able to do those other things you wanna do.
00:18:06.528 --> 00:18:07.159
So, totally.
00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:08.689
Let's not get hung up on the thruster.
00:18:08.719 --> 00:18:10.459
Totally, totally.
00:18:10.459 --> 00:18:10.519
Yeah.
00:18:10.578 --> 00:18:13.548
It's really too detail oriented sometimes.
00:18:13.548 --> 00:18:17.419
And you know, I do have some people who will sit in this room with me and say, like.
00:18:17.548 --> 00:18:19.169
You know, I've been here for three months now.
00:18:19.169 --> 00:18:21.898
I really want to get the RX movements.
00:18:22.048 --> 00:18:22.199
Mm-hmm.
00:18:22.618 --> 00:18:28.199
Um, and I think that's a great goal to have because that gives us a really clear path, right?
00:18:28.409 --> 00:18:33.598
If we have an objective like that, I know that we can't just skip to the end.
00:18:33.598 --> 00:18:39.388
We have to build the blocks to get to those ranges of motion demands, whatever.
00:18:39.388 --> 00:18:39.479
Mm-hmm.
00:18:40.078 --> 00:18:43.888
But it helps me as your coach know that that's what you're after.
00:18:44.249 --> 00:18:45.659
Because if it's just to.
00:18:46.398 --> 00:18:51.679
If it's something a little bit more vague, like to feel better than like just showing up is gonna do that.
00:18:51.949 --> 00:18:58.429
We don't have to contort much or tailor much to make that happen.
00:18:58.429 --> 00:18:58.519
Mm-hmm.
00:18:58.575 --> 00:19:07.724
But I would say I actually really appreciate these members that come to me with these asks, because it makes me, it's the kind of coaching that I really like to do.
00:19:08.085 --> 00:19:10.424
I like to get into the specifics.
00:19:10.484 --> 00:19:21.744
I like to look at outcomes, in sport or outcomes in, really specific domains that they're interested in improving and seeing how we can help with that.
00:19:21.744 --> 00:19:33.075
So, I just want you all to remember that, progress reviews with your coach are encouraged, especially if these things are becoming more solidified for you and it's never something to apologize about.
00:19:33.194 --> 00:19:36.765
This is, at least not to me, I, this is what I dig.
00:19:36.795 --> 00:19:40.724
It makes me feel like I get to, I get to investigate a little bit.
00:19:40.724 --> 00:19:42.615
I get to learn more as a coach.
00:19:42.694 --> 00:19:53.315
You know, leading class is not challenging for me at this stage in my career, but being able to work with people's very individual goals.
00:19:53.525 --> 00:19:59.255
You know, how do I help somebody increase their running time in a stimulus that's completely different?
00:19:59.644 --> 00:20:00.994
That is fun for me.
00:20:01.045 --> 00:20:01.345
Yeah.
00:20:03.474 --> 00:20:07.585
Yeah, I think communication is key there, uh, as well sometimes.
00:20:07.684 --> 00:20:21.095
I get, I, I know we've mentioned this on other podcasts, but sometimes I get the comment of like, I'm sorry, I don't mean to, you know, bother you, or I don't mean to be such a pain in class because I mean, you know, asking for these specific things.
00:20:21.095 --> 00:20:26.494
And I always try to stop that person and, and tell them like, I, this is what I'm here for.
00:20:26.494 --> 00:20:26.555
Yeah.
00:20:26.585 --> 00:20:28.984
This is what, this is why I'm here for you.
00:20:29.045 --> 00:20:32.105
This is not a departure from what's going on.
00:20:32.105 --> 00:20:33.244
This is what's going on.
00:20:33.244 --> 00:20:35.545
You, you know, if you didn't need me.
00:20:35.805 --> 00:20:41.355
Then I could just post this up on a video and walk away and have everybody just follow along.
00:20:41.355 --> 00:20:41.535
You know?
00:20:41.535 --> 00:20:43.994
But that's not, that's not my job here.
00:20:44.444 --> 00:20:46.694
And I think that communication is really key too.
00:20:46.694 --> 00:20:50.954
And I just wanna take things back to Snatch Day, which we had really recently.
00:20:51.414 --> 00:20:51.424
And.
00:20:52.505 --> 00:20:57.875
You know, every time we've got snatch day, I try to remind everybody, like, just go with the flow.
00:20:58.234 --> 00:21:03.335
This is not a testament to how strong you are as a weightlifter of many years.
00:21:03.335 --> 00:21:05.974
Y'all like it is really not a testament to how strong you are.
00:21:05.974 --> 00:21:11.345
And it can be a lift that almost like we intentionally give you because we want to.
00:21:12.184 --> 00:21:14.045
Challenge your body and your brain.
00:21:14.045 --> 00:21:14.134
Mm-hmm.
00:21:14.404 --> 00:21:16.835
It's not always about strength training.
00:21:16.835 --> 00:21:23.375
There's other domains of fitness that we wanna provide for you all, and some of that is skill acquisition.
00:21:23.404 --> 00:21:23.494
Mm-hmm.
00:21:23.974 --> 00:21:34.960
And general physical preparedness so that if you are out in the world and wanna learn water skiing, you're going to be given a set of instructions and you're gonna know how to move through those because.
00:21:35.529 --> 00:21:40.930
You've done step-by-step progressions of a very complicated lift in your peak fit class.
00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:41.230
Yeah.
00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:46.720
So what I wanna say about that though is that if you find yourself in a position where.
00:21:48.154 --> 00:21:58.785
It's more meaningful for you to take that time to get stronger as opposed to that skill acquisition, especially if it's maybe a vulnerable place for your body to be.
00:21:59.355 --> 00:22:02.265
That's where we really get to collaborate together.
00:22:02.265 --> 00:22:09.224
If your goal is like, it's really about postural stability for me, and I feel like this movement really throws me out of alignment.
00:22:09.575 --> 00:22:10.565
No worries.
00:22:10.595 --> 00:22:15.605
We're gonna work with a snatch grip overhead press for strength during this time.
00:22:16.505 --> 00:22:23.285
For us as your coaches to make that time productive for you is the most important thing.
00:22:23.644 --> 00:22:26.075
And it takes time to figure out what that is, of course.
00:22:26.105 --> 00:22:26.194
Mm-hmm.
00:22:26.525 --> 00:22:29.134
And a lot of that I think has to be self-directed.
00:22:29.365 --> 00:22:34.404
I am happy to prescribe special things for everybody, but I also don't wanna, um.
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:42.380
You know, if they wanna participate with the group as the way that the group is experiencing in class.
00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:44.059
Like, I don't wanna deviate.
00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:46.910
I feel like that's a, a collaborative thing for sure.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.875
I don't wanna make assumptions about anything.
00:22:49.575 --> 00:22:49.795
Um.
00:22:50.914 --> 00:22:56.795
And it's kind of wild, like how I made it so far into coaching without using that word, productive.
00:22:56.795 --> 00:22:59.855
I feel like that's been a newer thing in the last five years mm-hmm.
00:23:00.095 --> 00:23:02.734
Of coaching for me, of how do we make that time productive.
00:23:02.734 --> 00:23:07.295
But that's because I was also a part of other gyms that I was not the owner.
00:23:07.295 --> 00:23:09.980
I was not in charge of the values that we wanted to set.
00:23:11.105 --> 00:23:16.575
And a lot more of it was CrossFit assimilation, like you were talking about earliest.
00:23:16.634 --> 00:23:16.724
Mm-hmm.
00:23:17.055 --> 00:23:29.265
That the programming was the most important thing and getting good at thrusters and snatches and all those things were the point, not necessarily the individual.
00:23:29.325 --> 00:23:29.595
Yeah.
00:23:29.865 --> 00:23:32.894
Which I think is a miss in a lot of gyms.
00:23:32.984 --> 00:23:33.194
Mm-hmm.
00:23:33.734 --> 00:23:35.865
Um, but I mean, that's what's cool about owning your own gym.
00:23:35.865 --> 00:23:37.069
You get to decide what the.
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.174
What the values are, what those values are.
00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:39.720
Yeah.
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:50.569
And ours are very specific to the individual and really just wanting like overall wellness, health and capability and competency.
00:23:50.750 --> 00:23:51.109
Yeah.
00:23:51.710 --> 00:23:51.920
Yeah.
00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:56.509
And this is one thing I'd like to touch on that's a really, sorry, I have to, it's conce not competency.
00:23:57.769 --> 00:23:58.430
Couldn't let that go.
00:23:58.490 --> 00:24:00.920
The the idea of.
00:24:01.775 --> 00:24:05.375
Swapping out like you were using snatches as as an example.
00:24:05.375 --> 00:24:07.384
So I'd like to just stay on that for a minute.
00:24:07.384 --> 00:24:07.625
Sure.
00:24:08.105 --> 00:24:09.934
Because it's a fine line between taking ownership.
00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:13.579
Based on what you want and what you need.
00:24:14.210 --> 00:24:19.220
And I think we need to be real with ourselves of whether we're just avoiding discomfort.
00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:29.660
And so there's, this is why it's kind of a fine line or sticky subject or however you wanna phrase it, because we do want everybody to feel like they're.
00:24:30.470 --> 00:24:31.160
Productive.
00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:31.430
Yeah.
00:24:31.430 --> 00:24:36.980
Every time they come in here that they can be productive, even if the snatch movement is out of reach for them.
00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:40.519
Well, especially if it's your first time and like, don't knock it until you try it.
00:24:40.549 --> 00:24:40.880
Yeah.
00:24:41.509 --> 00:24:45.170
Um, but even if it's not your first time, even if it's a frustrating thing for you.
00:24:45.170 --> 00:24:51.559
I just want to touch on this a little bit because one reason why we have technical movements in our programming.
00:24:52.759 --> 00:25:00.855
Is that as we age, and I don't just mean when we're older, I mean as we age from about the age of like.
00:25:01.849 --> 00:25:09.349
25 on, we begin to gradually lose coordination and balance and fast twitch muscle fibers.
00:25:09.355 --> 00:25:09.625
Mm-hmm.
00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:20.000
When we, uh, when you hear statistics of a certain amount of, uh, muscle loss every decade of your life, the first to go is your fast twitch muscle fibers.
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.329
Right?
00:25:20.390 --> 00:25:24.180
And this is why balance and coordination and you're.
00:25:24.609 --> 00:25:27.970
Ability to be stable decreases with age.
00:25:27.970 --> 00:25:30.430
And we see it more as like a reflexive thing.
00:25:30.460 --> 00:25:30.910
Yes.
00:25:30.910 --> 00:25:31.119
Yeah.
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:32.680
Reflexes slow down and all that.
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.250
And so some of it's nervous system, but some of it's that fast twitch muscle fiber.
00:25:36.250 --> 00:25:43.690
So I do want to, uh, this kind of relates to a broader topic that I wanted to bring up, which is.
00:25:45.009 --> 00:25:49.059
Sometimes I get the feedback of like, well, I just don't like that.
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:53.799
I don't like that movement, or I don't like to do that, and so I just don't want to do that.
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:58.329
I want to do something else, and I am okay with that to a point.
00:25:58.329 --> 00:26:01.525
Like, I do want you to stay motivated and I don't want you to be discouraged.
00:26:01.525 --> 00:26:05.424
And every time you come in it's like a, you know, a friction point.
00:26:05.424 --> 00:26:06.325
I don't want that.
00:26:06.625 --> 00:26:10.289
But on the other hand, if we only work with the things that we.
00:26:11.170 --> 00:26:23.569
That feel easy to us, we will lose the ability to learn things, we'll lose the ability to develop that coordination and that balance aspect of your fitness.
00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:29.150
So I, I, I just want to be cautious about just giving into comfort all the time.
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.505
Well, because there's, uh.
00:26:31.204 --> 00:26:38.315
I think people sometimes get this backwards, like, I don't enjoy this thing because I'm not good at, or I'm not gonna get good at this because I don't like it.
00:26:38.434 --> 00:26:40.894
And I'm thinking in my head the opposite.
00:26:40.894 --> 00:26:47.464
It's like, you would enjoy it if you put the time in to get better at it, because when it clicks, it's so rewarding.
00:26:47.464 --> 00:26:50.345
Like you don't know the victory that's on the other side of that.
00:26:50.404 --> 00:26:56.434
You know, when you like work at snatches for six months and then all of a sudden it just clicks into place and you're like, whoa, that felt so good.
00:26:56.555 --> 00:26:58.654
And then, then it's like, then well it's a, it's a clue, right?
00:26:58.654 --> 00:26:58.714
Yeah.
00:26:58.714 --> 00:27:00.454
As to where your deficits are.
00:27:00.769 --> 00:27:05.299
And it's a clue as to, what your body needs to learn.
00:27:05.450 --> 00:27:12.980
And I think that you're also touching on something that there's even more underneath it, is that the things that we're programming in here are not just'cause there is a reason.
00:27:12.984 --> 00:27:13.075
Yeah.
00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:17.660
For every single movement, there's a reason for every single workout.
00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:24.480
You know, we wouldn't do it if we didn't find it valuable or find it to be an important function of your body that.
00:27:24.994 --> 00:27:28.115
You otherwise would never have the opportunity to train.
00:27:28.115 --> 00:27:28.204
Mm-hmm.
00:27:28.444 --> 00:27:31.234
Especially if you're at a job that is sedentary.
00:27:31.234 --> 00:27:36.634
Like, think about how many hours of your life you're missing out on movement by doing that.
00:27:36.634 --> 00:27:37.779
So, or even just, it might feel.
00:27:38.775 --> 00:27:40.634
Even a non sedentary job.
00:27:40.634 --> 00:27:40.904
Sure.
00:27:40.904 --> 00:27:42.434
But it's, most jobs are repetitive.
00:27:42.434 --> 00:27:43.335
That's their jobs.
00:27:43.335 --> 00:27:44.625
You're there to get the work done.
00:27:44.625 --> 00:27:44.684
Yeah.
00:27:44.684 --> 00:27:49.609
And so if you're waiting tables, you're getting ton of the steps in, but how much overhead lifting are you doing?
00:27:49.849 --> 00:27:49.930
Right.
00:27:50.309 --> 00:27:50.569
You know?
00:27:50.569 --> 00:27:50.730
Yeah.
00:27:50.734 --> 00:27:51.045
Yeah.
00:27:51.045 --> 00:27:59.535
I kind of have people think about that when we're, when we're learning things, uh, in on ramp, like how many times do you reach over your head at work?
00:27:59.535 --> 00:28:00.404
And they're like, never.
00:28:00.404 --> 00:28:01.904
And I was like, well, that's why we're training it.
00:28:01.934 --> 00:28:02.085
Yeah.
00:28:02.115 --> 00:28:03.369
You know, that's a function that your body.
00:28:04.365 --> 00:28:07.275
Has that we wanna tap into.
00:28:07.305 --> 00:28:20.335
And so that is, I think, an important thing to just kind of share with our community is that we program what we program because we think it's beneficial to make a well-rounded, uh.
00:28:21.730 --> 00:28:22.720
Strong body.
00:28:22.809 --> 00:28:23.140
Yeah.
00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:23.559
Yeah.
00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:33.269
And that kind of brings up another que topic that you and I talked about earlier today, which was various program styles and different types of exercise and this sort of mm-hmm.
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:39.569
Uh, uh, mindset of like, well find something that you enjoy'cause that's gonna be the exercise program that's best for you.
00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:43.049
And the i the, it's a little bit of a myth, isn't it?
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:47.490
The thinking behind that I understand, is that if your choice is.
00:28:48.015 --> 00:28:51.434
Yoga or sitting on the couch, yoga's better, right?
00:28:51.434 --> 00:28:54.134
Like yoga's the better choice if that's the thing you enjoy.
00:28:54.914 --> 00:29:08.325
But you can't just, you can't muster the, the willpower to get to the gym and actually do a weightlifting, a strength and conditioning program, but you enjoy this other thing, then it's better than sitting on the couch.
00:29:08.325 --> 00:29:14.785
And I agree with that, and that's a great place to find some movement to build upon, however.
00:29:16.285 --> 00:29:22.585
I eminently disagree with the idea that just because you enjoy it, that is the thing that's best for you.
00:29:22.944 --> 00:29:27.865
Because if that were the case, I would just eat, I would just go out for pizza like six days a week.
00:29:27.954 --> 00:29:28.950
That would be your sport of choice, right?
00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:29.190
Yeah.
00:29:30.595 --> 00:29:32.214
It'd be pizza and ice cream all day.
00:29:32.214 --> 00:29:33.670
And so just because all night, all day.
00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:38.269
Just'cause it's like the thing I enjoy doesn't mean that it's the best choice for me.
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:38.690
Yeah.
00:29:38.690 --> 00:29:42.410
We had a discussion over breakfast as to why we continue to train this way.
00:29:42.410 --> 00:29:42.470
Yeah.
00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:47.299
Because regardless of the things that you and I have specialized in, we always come back to this kind of training.
00:29:47.329 --> 00:29:47.660
Yeah.
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.039
And for me it's really important.
00:29:49.089 --> 00:29:52.150
Just I do a lot, a lot of research on this.
00:29:52.150 --> 00:29:52.390
I.
00:29:54.085 --> 00:29:55.194
I don't have a PhD.
00:29:55.194 --> 00:30:09.775
I'm not gonna cite a whole bunch of PubMed papers or anything, but just like generally speaking, all things point toward maintaining strength as high as you can because it gives you a better runway at the end of your life.
00:30:09.805 --> 00:30:12.684
Yeah, to stay strong and stay mobile and stay independent.
00:30:13.224 --> 00:30:18.515
And the high intensity conditioning portion has to do with all sorts of other.
00:30:19.055 --> 00:30:20.525
Biometrics, if you will.
00:30:20.525 --> 00:30:36.515
So whether it's cancer, diabetes, heart disease, like all these things that plague us later in life, and especially decrepitude, all those things are mitigated through strength and conditioning, like good old classic barbell work and high intensity interval training.
00:30:36.515 --> 00:30:43.625
Those two things are the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to health and longevity and vitality in every.
00:30:44.589 --> 00:30:49.299
Bone density, like everything points to that as being the biggest.
00:30:49.795 --> 00:31:04.724
Priority other than, quality, sleep and nutrition, all that well, I'm just talking about exercise specifically, so I'm not knocking yoga or Pilates or a kettlebell only program or people who just love to run, or people who are just into weightlifting or whatever, or bodybuilding.
00:31:04.724 --> 00:31:06.450
You know, I have nothing against.
00:31:06.484 --> 00:31:22.214
Any of those programs, but the reason why we focus on what we focus on is that this is the bedrock, this is the core, and these are the things that just about every body on this planet would benefit from whether you like it or not, but you will like it.
00:31:22.664 --> 00:31:30.585
My, I guess my circling back around here is that you will like it if you, you will like it if you devote some time to it.
00:31:30.585 --> 00:31:34.605
No, I'm just saying like, if you develop the skills to feel like you're winning.
00:31:35.140 --> 00:31:39.430
Yeah, if you come in and you see improvement, you'll like it like that.
00:31:39.430 --> 00:31:39.474
Oh yeah.
00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.480
You will like that part.
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:45.730
Like it doesn't, it doesn't have to mean that you love burpees or you love thrusters.
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:47.049
I will never love thrusters.
00:31:47.109 --> 00:31:51.579
I can just tell you right now, no matter how good I get at'em, I will never love thrusters, but.
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:58.539
If I can execute them properly, they're a lot less sucky than if I'm struggling to get the movement right?
00:31:58.630 --> 00:31:58.690
Yeah.
00:31:58.690 --> 00:32:02.440
And so practice does help with the enjoyment as well.
00:32:02.529 --> 00:32:04.210
I'm gonna say something controversial.
00:32:04.630 --> 00:32:06.910
I kind of wish there were burpees on our baseline.
00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.289
Ooh.
00:32:08.470 --> 00:32:18.339
Because that would be a really amazing opportunity to see what kind of progress there is with not only like living through them, but how they can be improved.
00:32:18.390 --> 00:32:21.839
Like that's a, an easy thing to always feel challenging.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:26.730
And so it'd be kind of cool to have a workout that would showcase progress there, you know?
00:32:28.549 --> 00:32:28.839
Yeah.
00:32:28.994 --> 00:32:29.894
Oh no, I have to sneeze.
00:32:30.674 --> 00:32:31.125
Go ahead.
00:32:31.424 --> 00:32:32.684
Nope, you're not, it's not gonna happen.
00:32:32.869 --> 00:32:33.029
Nope.
00:32:34.575 --> 00:32:44.565
Um, I do wanna like continue to circle back'cause this is a really easy topic to branch out in a lot of different ways, but I wanna talk about like what owning your workout could look like.
00:32:44.565 --> 00:32:44.575
Mm-hmm.
00:32:44.589 --> 00:32:45.914
Does that, is that an okay mm-hmm.
00:32:46.154 --> 00:32:47.055
Direction to take?
00:32:47.744 --> 00:32:50.565
So I wanna give some examples of how we do this ourselves.
00:32:50.835 --> 00:32:54.825
And then how does that look in gym like in the, in classes, in the gym.
00:32:55.414 --> 00:33:14.144
So sometimes in class when we're doing the whiteboard brief and we're going over the workout, depending on the structure that day, you might hear me say things that will be encouraging of if you add more weight, you know, this is gonna be an opportunity to develop strength here.
00:33:14.484 --> 00:33:15.295
So I think about like.
00:33:15.910 --> 00:33:20.140
Kettlebell swings or goblet squats, like, and we don't prescribe a weight.
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:23.349
Uh, and we're working with maybe a fixed time domain.
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:28.240
Fixed time domains are really great opportunities to kind of choose your own adventure, right?
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:34.920
You can either, because a lot of that's gonna be structuring pace, so you know, you can go for that.
00:33:35.444 --> 00:33:42.015
Steady cardio benefit if you work lighter and more consistently without taking breaks.
00:33:42.045 --> 00:33:42.164
Mm-hmm.
00:33:42.404 --> 00:33:47.714
Or if your goal is to get stronger, I would say prepare to go slower.
00:33:47.795 --> 00:33:49.265
But build more strength here.
00:33:49.355 --> 00:33:49.595
Yep.
00:33:49.924 --> 00:33:56.734
So you have sometimes the opportunity in any given workout to kind of choose a lane of what you wanna prioritize.
00:33:58.009 --> 00:34:06.619
Another way that this can be facilitated is, you know, with your coach ahead of time, I'm working on hurdles this season.
00:34:06.859 --> 00:34:13.820
How can we structure class in a way that's gonna benefit that fast twitch that you were talking about, that power development.
00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:22.639
So for instance, I just wanna share a way that I have modified some things for a sprinter that I'm working with right now who is in group class, right?
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:23.840
This can be done.
00:34:24.574 --> 00:34:25.534
In a group setting.
00:34:25.635 --> 00:34:28.514
And it, at least on my end, it doesn't take a lot to.
00:34:29.385 --> 00:34:37.885
To structure these things, but my hope is to eventually start to teach you the pattern in which we're making these adjustments so that you can do it yourself.
00:34:38.425 --> 00:34:41.155
So it's heavy back squat day, right?
00:34:41.155 --> 00:34:42.625
Build to a challenging five.
00:34:42.625 --> 00:34:45.894
We've got 25 minutes to do it, or 30 minutes to do it.
00:34:46.414 --> 00:34:52.255
Rather than working with increasing weights, we worked with, squat jumps instead.
00:34:52.255 --> 00:34:52.344
Mm-hmm.
00:34:52.585 --> 00:34:54.025
Weighted squat jumps.
00:34:54.335 --> 00:35:02.295
And so we're working with change of direction rebounding and explosive power, but at a weight that really didn't change much.
00:35:02.565 --> 00:35:08.965
Uh, so the objective, rather than climbing in weight and building strength, we had a different priority that day.
00:35:09.085 --> 00:35:12.684
Or if we had a 20 minute amrap, say like Cindy.
00:35:13.155 --> 00:35:15.554
Rather than, uh, you wanna explain what that is?
00:35:15.614 --> 00:35:16.784
Oh, yes, Cindy, of course.
00:35:16.815 --> 00:35:27.105
Uh, we recently had, that was, uh, 20 minutes, uh, cycling through five pullups, 10 pushups and 15 air squats.
00:35:27.594 --> 00:35:30.894
What's the other workout that's similarly structured?
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:35.664
It's like five rounds for time, not Cindy, but.
00:35:36.389 --> 00:35:38.039
Five rounds for time, something like that.
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:39.510
It's like really similar.
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:41.039
Oh yeah, I forget the names.
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.780
Do you remember what the workout is though?
00:35:44.610 --> 00:35:45.329
No, go ahead.
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:45.929
All right.
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.400
I used to always get them confused, but I've since then forgotten the name anyway.
00:35:50.510 --> 00:36:00.679
Rather than trying to have like a steady working pace for 20 minutes, which is what I usually suggest for people to do because it's very easy to blow yourself up too quickly.
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:00.769
Mm-hmm.
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:03.980
And then really struggle through whatever time you have left.
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:08.639
And so for this particular athlete we did on the minute work.
00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:11.760
So we actually kept a lot of the movements the same.
00:36:12.210 --> 00:36:19.019
We made the pushup a little bit more plyometric, so it became a burpee instead, uh, so that we could get that explosive power.
00:36:19.019 --> 00:36:21.210
And I think we adjusted the reps a little bit.
00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:24.329
He was able to do one strict pull up each time around.
00:36:24.329 --> 00:36:27.090
So we just did one, and then I believe it was like.
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.280
Three to five burpees.
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.010
And then rather than.
00:36:32.465 --> 00:36:39.034
Squats since we're prioritizing hurdles, we did split jumps, which are in a staggered stance, kind of like lunges would be.
00:36:39.034 --> 00:36:39.125
Mm-hmm.
00:36:39.485 --> 00:36:43.744
And essentially performing lunges with kind of a plyometric jump.
00:36:43.824 --> 00:36:48.414
Uh, and so it really required some good stability work too.
00:36:48.474 --> 00:36:54.514
Um, but also making sure that we're getting that single legged sort of stuff that you would see in a traditional hurdle.
00:36:55.085 --> 00:36:55.835
And so.
00:36:56.405 --> 00:37:05.704
We wanted to kind of build power in each of those areas, and rather than working with 20 minutes straight, I had him work on, I think a three or five minute clock.
00:37:05.704 --> 00:37:05.795
Mm-hmm.
00:37:06.065 --> 00:37:10.025
So like, get this done as quickly as you can in three minutes.
00:37:10.054 --> 00:37:14.644
I think it was more like, yeah, it was probably three and so whatever time you had left was yours to rest.
00:37:14.644 --> 00:37:14.675
Mm-hmm.
00:37:15.094 --> 00:37:23.914
Let that heart rate come down and then get ready to hit it again really hard because this is somebody who has to be prepared to go zero to a hundred within seconds.
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:24.090
Mm-hmm.
00:37:24.389 --> 00:37:25.050
So that's.
00:37:26.449 --> 00:37:43.489
Just a little bit of an idea of, for someone who has a very specific goal but wants to train with us because of the modalities that we use that they might not see in their sport, we can very lightly tailor the workouts so that it fits their goals.
00:37:43.489 --> 00:37:43.579
Mm-hmm.
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:50.630
Yeah, it's a lot of fun for me because it really requires me to, to be creative, uh, which I appreciate and.
00:37:51.619 --> 00:37:58.280
This person is probably gonna work with us longer because it's in support of what their goals are for themselves.
00:37:58.400 --> 00:37:58.489
Mm-hmm.
00:37:58.730 --> 00:38:01.969
In a domain that's more meaningful to them.
00:38:02.630 --> 00:38:09.800
You know, it is important to, to, for us to be aware that for some people coming to this gym is their bread and butter.
00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:13.159
This is their athletic physical life.
00:38:13.429 --> 00:38:17.630
Where for others, this is just supplementary to what they are already doing.
00:38:17.780 --> 00:38:18.019
Oh yeah.
00:38:18.289 --> 00:38:19.190
We see both.
00:38:19.195 --> 00:38:19.215
Mm-hmm.
00:38:20.434 --> 00:38:21.275
Yeah, absolutely.
00:38:21.545 --> 00:38:25.775
Do you have any examples either for yourself or any other members?
00:38:25.864 --> 00:38:31.565
Well, recently I was talking with somebody who's on a slight caloric restriction.
00:38:31.565 --> 00:38:35.255
We're trying to get a little bit leaner and they have some goals around that.
00:38:35.704 --> 00:38:38.824
But we don't wanna lose muscle and some muscle mass is a really.
00:38:38.885 --> 00:38:43.864
A critical thing to not waste away muscle while you're losing body fat.
00:38:43.869 --> 00:38:44.050
Right.
00:38:44.224 --> 00:38:47.494
And which is why we try to just avoid the whole term weight loss anyway.
00:38:47.605 --> 00:38:48.159
It's too vague.
00:38:48.219 --> 00:38:51.940
You might lose weight, but we do, we care more about what kind of weight you're losing.
00:38:52.900 --> 00:38:57.429
We wanna lose bo excess body fat and we retain or gain muscle.
00:38:57.670 --> 00:39:03.989
So for this individual, I was talking about the fact that in order to keep that strength and muscle.
00:39:04.965 --> 00:39:17.934
Uh, up as much as possible while in a caloric deficit that they could bias their workouts, even the conditioning workouts in a class to be slower and get a worse score on purpose.
00:39:18.204 --> 00:39:18.295
Mm-hmm.
00:39:18.534 --> 00:39:20.875
But to do yes, but to do more strict movement.
00:39:20.875 --> 00:39:23.034
And so yes, there's a sacrifice a little bit.
00:39:23.034 --> 00:39:23.094
Yeah.
00:39:23.094 --> 00:39:23.215
Right.
00:39:23.215 --> 00:39:24.715
So, or a perceived sacrifice.
00:39:24.715 --> 00:39:24.894
Yeah.
00:39:24.894 --> 00:39:25.855
Lower score.
00:39:25.885 --> 00:39:31.619
In the case, what I was describing with him is like, because he can knock out kipping pull-ups, which are uh, yeah.
00:39:32.195 --> 00:39:34.715
High intensity cardiovascular.
00:39:35.105 --> 00:39:36.724
Biased pull up basically.
00:39:36.724 --> 00:39:38.434
'cause it's a really fast cycle time.
00:39:38.494 --> 00:39:38.585
Mm-hmm.
00:39:38.824 --> 00:39:40.625
But it may not help you retain your muscle mass.
00:39:40.625 --> 00:39:52.760
And so what you may want to do is just stick with strict pull-ups and you may only get, like, you know, you may only get three where you were getting seven kipping ones and so your but your strength gains are gonna be significant.
00:39:52.894 --> 00:39:53.255
Yeah.
00:39:53.255 --> 00:39:57.425
So your score may go down, but you might retain the muscle, which is the most important thing here.
00:39:57.815 --> 00:39:59.135
That's a great example.
00:39:59.135 --> 00:39:59.195
Yeah.
00:39:59.195 --> 00:39:59.480
And a, yeah.
00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:11.150
I like that example a lot because there is a real trade off when you do it, but what it does is also kind of pulls back the curtain of how program design works and how we.
00:40:12.230 --> 00:40:13.400
How we're doing this.
00:40:13.429 --> 00:40:13.610
Yeah.
00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:23.219
And that there is intention behind it, and that each workout or each exercise can really favor a very particular part of fitness.
00:40:23.369 --> 00:40:27.900
We really wanna get to all of them, and that's why we see so many different things and so many.
00:40:28.235 --> 00:40:30.184
Different styles of workouts.
00:40:30.184 --> 00:40:30.275
Mm-hmm.
00:40:30.514 --> 00:40:34.565
But you might have something more specific that we need to focus on.
00:40:34.655 --> 00:40:34.864
Yeah.
00:40:34.864 --> 00:40:47.025
We, we wanna build a broad base, but that for you might be focusing on one corner of the brick structure, you know, that is weak that needs to be bolstered up in order to build that broad, base.
00:40:47.114 --> 00:40:47.505
Totally.
00:40:47.505 --> 00:40:47.684
Yeah.
00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:50.380
Yeah, I know I've done that for myself a lot.
00:40:50.489 --> 00:41:02.650
Just in being competitive in competitive weightlifting where I know you've heard me say many times, like, I don't wanna do any of those movements in timed workout.
00:41:02.710 --> 00:41:02.800
Mm-hmm.
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.349
Because I don't wanna muddy the waters.
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:11.050
And so a lot of times y like I.
00:41:13.420 --> 00:41:15.280
I'll use this week as an example.
00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:27.340
So we had the weighted pullup work, and I would like to have been in the weighted pullup category, but really I can only be relied on to do one really good pullup.
00:41:27.849 --> 00:41:30.670
And so it wouldn't have been all that productive to just leave it there.
00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:40.389
And so I asked Coach Brogan if it would be okay that I did sets of negatives, but rather than doing three negatives, could I do one strict pull up?
00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:43.300
And then make my next two reps negative.
00:41:43.300 --> 00:41:43.389
Mm-hmm.
00:41:43.630 --> 00:41:47.380
So that I could continue to train that movement.
00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:56.289
That's so difficult for me that I, you know, I've lost and gained so many times in life, and now that I have it back in my grasp, I really don't wanna let it go.
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:56.530
Mm-hmm.
00:41:56.650 --> 00:41:59.920
And this felt like the best way to apply it in the day.
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.829
And so that's just another example of how that looks.
00:42:02.829 --> 00:42:03.099
Like.
00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:07.000
I talked to my coach about, you know, this is what I'm thinking.
00:42:07.614 --> 00:42:08.605
What are your thoughts?
00:42:08.605 --> 00:42:10.914
Does that seem like a good use of today?
00:42:11.094 --> 00:42:17.574
Because sometimes I will get those questions and I'll say, no, that's actually not a great use of today, and I'll tell you why.
00:42:17.675 --> 00:42:29.014
But having your coach in on that conversation, I think is really important because if we see that you're just kind of like deviating and doing your own thing, it might give us an impression that you're kind of like.
00:42:30.335 --> 00:42:39.425
Scrapping the day or like not interested in what we're doing, but you know, open that door to be collaborative with us and open that door for us to share our expertise.
00:42:39.545 --> 00:42:39.635
Mm-hmm.
00:42:39.875 --> 00:42:43.355
Or if you're like thinking, you know, I really wanna get my first pull up.
00:42:43.355 --> 00:42:45.364
What's gonna be the best choice for me today?
00:42:45.364 --> 00:42:45.454
Yeah.
00:42:45.925 --> 00:42:52.045
Everybody comes into this gym with varying points of view, priorities and needs.
00:42:52.809 --> 00:42:57.940
And the more that you figure out what those are and share them with us, the better we can work with you.
00:42:58.239 --> 00:42:58.599
Yeah.
00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:03.849
We've, I think, talked about this before, but coaching is a communication two-way street.
00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.030
Mm-hmm.
00:43:04.269 --> 00:43:06.969
It is not a top-down authority situation.
00:43:06.969 --> 00:43:12.519
So I, I think it's one thing that separates coaching from, say teaching.
00:43:12.550 --> 00:43:21.489
I love to do both, but teaching is a top down situation where I am like giving information, but coaching is.
00:43:21.849 --> 00:43:24.610
M more like your co-pilot.
00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:36.199
Like we're, we're helping to direct you where you need to go, but we can offer, advice and mentorship and instruction and form correction and, having those eyes on you and.
00:43:36.940 --> 00:43:38.679
Guide and, and program design.
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:43.059
And there's so many things we can offer, but the thing we don't know is your body as well as you do.
00:43:43.150 --> 00:43:54.610
And so it's up to you to share with us, uh, your inside perspective so that we can use all those tools at our disposal to help you make better decisions.
00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:55.239
Totally.
00:43:55.239 --> 00:43:55.539
Yeah.
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.199
And I just think it's important to remind everybody that.
00:44:00.050 --> 00:44:03.349
Our objectives might be moving targets, you know?
00:44:03.380 --> 00:44:03.469
Mm-hmm.
00:44:03.769 --> 00:44:10.969
Um, I know in the last five years, my objectives with my physical goals have been all over the place.
00:44:10.969 --> 00:44:17.030
Whether it's like simply like get back into quote unquote shape or get ready for this weightlifting meet.
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:22.579
And if you think about that time that I did get ready for the weight lifting meat, it was like this time last year.
00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:25.039
Or maybe a little bit later.
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.170
But it was more like three or four months of like really intense focus, right?
00:44:30.170 --> 00:44:30.260
Mm-hmm.
00:44:30.500 --> 00:44:40.789
So there were things that I had to kind of let go in that time or redirect, and then once that meet was over, new objectives came to the surface, and the way that I was working out was really different.
00:44:40.789 --> 00:44:40.800
Mm-hmm.
00:44:41.195 --> 00:44:47.554
So I think it is important to just be flexible, uh, and just kind of pay attention to what is feeling important now.
00:44:48.034 --> 00:44:53.315
And if you're unsure we are happy to help identify that with you.
00:44:53.775 --> 00:44:59.985
And again, if your current goals right now is just like to simply continue to move.
00:45:00.820 --> 00:45:01.809
That's a great place to be.
00:45:01.929 --> 00:45:02.199
Yeah.
00:45:02.460 --> 00:45:06.869
I would say that this is kind of an advancement of your experience here.
00:45:07.050 --> 00:45:10.380
I wouldn't jump to it right away if those things aren't clear for you.
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:21.300
But my hope is that this kind of like makes people start to notice that like this gets to be a deeper well and this is where it gets to be a lot more interesting, I think, and a lot more fun.
00:45:21.809 --> 00:45:31.860
And what's cool is that we're in this kind of phase of our gym where people are really turning this corner of having been with us for years now.
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:32.010
Mm-hmm.
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:40.440
And so we can see that really that deepening of the experience and not just being able to like, I couldn't do a pull up.
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:42.059
I can do one now kind of thing.
00:45:42.059 --> 00:45:46.349
But people really learning how to make good decisions for themselves.
00:45:46.829 --> 00:45:47.489
I often kind of.
00:45:48.255 --> 00:45:50.594
Throw that out before the 3, 2, 1 go clock.
00:45:50.594 --> 00:45:53.025
I just say make good decisions.
00:45:53.275 --> 00:46:04.644
If you are working out and something is starting to like really break down, like you don't have to wait for me to tell you to stop, like you move on if that's not serving you.
00:46:05.005 --> 00:46:10.255
And I want to empower everybody to know their body better in that way.
00:46:10.335 --> 00:46:10.485
Yeah.
00:46:10.485 --> 00:46:15.315
So there is kind of like an additional objective that I think our gym offers.
00:46:15.824 --> 00:46:27.375
It's not just about creating a productive space for everybody, but there's a level of understanding that you're gonna have of your body to know where its thresholds are, of what is safe and what's unsafe.
00:46:27.434 --> 00:46:27.554
Mm-hmm.
00:46:27.795 --> 00:46:32.594
What's gonna be productive and unproductive and what is you really breaking through your barriers.
00:46:32.625 --> 00:46:32.715
Mm-hmm.
00:46:32.954 --> 00:46:38.025
And if we can facilitate that self knowledge, that's a huge gift.
00:46:38.445 --> 00:46:41.715
That's a huge gift that I remember cultivating for myself.
00:46:41.715 --> 00:46:44.925
And you know, that's an ever long process, but.
00:46:45.284 --> 00:46:57.105
It's what I think is gonna allow us to stay healthier longer because we're gonna know when we need to pivot or when we need to make different decisions so that we can continue the work.
00:46:57.210 --> 00:46:57.500
Yeah.
00:46:57.505 --> 00:46:57.735
Yeah.
00:46:58.005 --> 00:46:58.815
Outside the gym.
00:46:58.875 --> 00:47:00.284
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:01.065 --> 00:47:06.364
I think we're talking about you, you're talking about being flexible and being willing to pivot.
00:47:06.414 --> 00:47:13.644
Not only in the moment, but I think this is where consistency really comes through, is in your ability to bend, not break.
00:47:13.704 --> 00:47:15.835
Like if you're really rigid, you will break.
00:47:16.255 --> 00:47:16.434
Yeah.
00:47:16.494 --> 00:47:18.510
Uh, and, but if you're willing to bend, you can be.
00:47:18.755 --> 00:47:35.164
Consistent and we can continue to make progress in lots of different ways, and we've already had a whole podcast about that, but I just wanted to bring that up as part of what we're talking about here, of taking ownership of your workout is being willing to maybe change your mind of what the objective was today.
00:47:35.344 --> 00:47:37.264
Totally halfway through through the session.
00:47:37.505 --> 00:47:37.864
Totally.
00:47:37.864 --> 00:47:38.105
Yeah.
00:47:38.554 --> 00:47:40.144
Like, oh, that's not feeling good.
00:47:40.144 --> 00:47:43.034
Or this isn't, this is getting worse, not better.
00:47:43.034 --> 00:47:43.125
Mm-hmm.
00:47:43.364 --> 00:47:44.054
That kind of thing.
00:47:44.054 --> 00:47:47.565
It's like, well, let's, let's pivot now because it's your workout.
00:47:47.625 --> 00:47:59.385
Well, that's why on those circuits that you program where we've got like three rounds of like five different stations or whatever, I sometimes set the expectation of like, I wanna see your score improve Yeah.
00:47:59.385 --> 00:47:59.744
At the end.
00:47:59.849 --> 00:48:12.070
You know, I want, I want you to restructure how you would normally go about this to finish stronger than as you would expect, like everything feels fresh and good in the beginning, and then it like falls to shit.
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:20.599
So I hope that we're facilitating that for everybody in ways to make some really meaningful changes in the gym or meaningful experiences in the gym.
00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:21.619
But I also hope that.
00:48:22.309 --> 00:48:33.199
Just throughout talking about this, you can also recognize the importance of having this skill in life, of like taking ownership of your experience and how is it gonna serve you best?
00:48:33.619 --> 00:48:36.260
And sometimes it's not the most obvious route.
00:48:37.130 --> 00:48:37.219
Mm-hmm.
00:48:37.460 --> 00:48:37.469
Right?
00:48:37.469 --> 00:48:37.489
Or comfortable.
00:48:38.210 --> 00:48:38.570
Right.
00:48:38.809 --> 00:48:40.025
I would say both are just as.
00:48:40.619 --> 00:48:46.679
Like those are on par with each other, and it is exactly our job to help you make those choices.
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:52.119
So, please don't hesitate to take that ownership, even if it means asking for some help.
00:48:52.364 --> 00:48:52.655
Yeah.
00:48:53.800 --> 00:48:53.980
Yeah.
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:57.039
Let's collaborate to help you take ownership.
00:48:57.429 --> 00:48:57.880
Yeah.
00:48:58.030 --> 00:48:58.300
All right.
00:48:59.050 --> 00:49:00.639
Does that sound like a good place to wrap up for today?
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:01.449
I think so.
00:49:01.449 --> 00:49:03.159
Thanks for taking this topic on.
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:04.760
It's, it's an important one to me.
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:07.750
I have a couple questions for the audience.
00:49:07.750 --> 00:49:08.590
Ooh, yeah.
00:49:08.750 --> 00:49:10.434
First off, y'all, if you have, uh.
00:49:11.344 --> 00:49:14.675
Topics that you would like us to see us address, please let us know.
00:49:14.735 --> 00:49:22.655
You could, drop us a line on the business phone or email us or, uh, comment on wherever you're seeing this posted or whatever.
00:49:22.655 --> 00:49:29.164
Just give us some feedback on some things that you would like a little deeper dive on than we have time to go over in class.
00:49:29.445 --> 00:49:31.635
We would love to hear your suggestions.
00:49:31.755 --> 00:49:31.934
Totally.
00:49:31.934 --> 00:49:34.065
And the other thing is, um.
00:49:34.110 --> 00:49:38.670
We come into these usually with some sort of topic to riff on.
00:49:39.059 --> 00:49:42.239
And there's a lot of different ways to approach a podcast.
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:44.130
I love conversational podcasts.
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:45.900
Those are my favorite ones to listen to.
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:54.190
However, when my business mentor puts out a podcast and it's some very specific topic, I get pretty hungry for that knowledge too.
00:49:54.190 --> 00:49:58.119
So there's benefits to having both very, very structured or very, very loose.
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.130
And I'm just curious what you all wanna listen to.
00:50:00.130 --> 00:50:00.190
Hmm.
00:50:00.340 --> 00:50:01.179
If we're, uh.
00:50:01.650 --> 00:50:13.954
Going on tangents, is that a great thing or is it better to have a shorter, concise podcast that you're just getting some value bombs out of and then just and it's quick and dirty, but clean, you know, like, uh, value bombs.
00:50:14.135 --> 00:50:14.675
Yeah.
00:50:14.675 --> 00:50:18.045
You know, just like getting those those quick lessons or.
00:50:18.219 --> 00:50:20.969
Uh, is the, are, are the tangents valuable?
00:50:20.969 --> 00:50:24.119
So, I was gonna say we have lots of stories Yeah.
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:24.809
Between us.
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:25.110
Yeah.
00:50:25.110 --> 00:50:26.219
We've been doing this a while.
00:50:26.250 --> 00:50:27.114
We have, yeah.
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:27.809
Yeah.
00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:28.289
Right.
00:50:28.289 --> 00:50:28.980
As a whole team.
00:50:28.980 --> 00:50:39.650
I was just thinking about this the other day as a whole team here, at Ruby Peak performance, if you take the whole coaching staff together, we have like 40 years of coaching experience.
00:50:39.650 --> 00:50:39.739
Cool.
00:50:39.739 --> 00:50:42.650
And so that's a lot of, that's a lot of stories to tell.
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:43.760
Oh yeah.
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:43.769
Yeah.
00:50:43.820 --> 00:50:45.559
A lot of hours under the belt, that's for sure.
00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:50.449
So we can go there if you want, but, uh, some feedback would be great for, you know, both of you who hear this.
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:52.429
What?
00:50:53.300 --> 00:50:53.989
I'm just kidding.
00:50:54.710 --> 00:50:55.639
Oh, I was like, who are you talking to?
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:57.500
I'm sure there's at least two people who will hear this.
00:50:57.590 --> 00:50:57.800
Yeah.
00:50:59.480 --> 00:50:59.809
Alright.
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:00.860
Wanna wrap it up?
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:02.000
Yeah, sounds great.
00:51:02.059 --> 00:51:02.090
Okay.
00:51:02.179 --> 00:51:04.699
Happy weekend everybody, or whenever this posts.
00:51:04.849 --> 00:51:05.000
Yeah.
00:51:06.650 --> 00:51:07.369
See you in the gym.
