I keep going back to this article, even though I edited it and know it almost by heart. That's how good it is. https://t.co/gwqWuPvvbF (From @Coach_CThib)
When you tell a very driven athlete to hit an RPE of 8.5 and he hit failure on the 5th rep: “yeah but the 4th was an 8.5 so I hit it” https://t.co/8RIS6wkBc5
Two things that GSP, Usain Bolt, Micheal Phelps, Mat Fraser have in common?
1. Considered the best in their sport
2. Loved to eat McDonald's, sometimes on competition day
Don't use elite athletes to prove your nutrition cult. They are often the best despite what they eat.
@ChrisShugart Personally I HATE writing intros and conclusions! But I learned how to write intros in school: 1-2 sentences hook to get people curious. 1-2 sentences to mention the actual subject. 1-2 sentences to break down into 3 sub topics
@tonygentilcore1 I think it would be a cool article. A lot of gen pop clients actually want to feel like an athlete... so they turn to Crossfit (and often get injured)
@ChrisShugart One of the best example is a master olympic lifter that I trained with. He was 69 and lifting 5 days a week and doing sprints too. This year he competed ... at 84 years of age!
@CoachRyanHorton@CoachAlanBishop However, there are outliers because of training specificity. Eric Hayden could do an extremely high number of reps with 80% on the leg press. WAY above 20 reps
