It's also kind of biting me in the ass that I use this very new and novel
AI tax prep tech
They do an amazing new and novel new and novel or just lazy and efficient. No, it's I would it's not lazy They use a certified CEA CPA. They just don't offer any other services. So I'm like, hey, I need you guys to write me the other
Like nope, we don't write letters
so
Huh? What's up you guys? Alright today the topic is Nope. We don't write letters. Um, so, huh?
What's up you guys?
All right.
Today, the topic is how to get in and out of the gym fast, how to get your
fitness in quick, how to get abs and 20 minutes, um, JK, but on a serious note,
we're going to talk about training, maximizing your time in the gym, um, and
how to make the most of your time in the gym.
Um, I would say we could
probably work through this in kind of like a tiered format where we start with like maybe
I'd say let's start with the very basic. You're someone who doesn't have a lot of time.
You're a dad, you run a business, whatever. You just want to get in, get out, get as fit as possible.
What should you take into consideration? And then we'll work down to like a competitor who's trying to train two hours a day or even three hours a day with a full-time job.
How do you manage that?
So we'll start with like the most basic ish.
Yes, I think we should start out on just like you have an hour and that's it.
That's all you have. Um, obviously I think the best thing that you could do is get around people and go to
an affiliate and jump into a class. I think most affiliates do a good job of putting a
lot of fitness into an hour. If you're not able to do that and you're just working out
on your own, if you're like me and like, like today I coached the eight and the 12, I ran
some errands in between those two classes.
And I just did the class workout
after the noon class before the show.
If you have an hour to go, first thing,
make your warmup an actual workout.
So make your warmup a very easy, like,
Metcon type thing.
Like I would say like, do a 10 minute,
every minute on the minute, pick a machine and then pick something that's just going to
generally get your whole body warm.
Whether it's like a empty barbell thruster,
whether it's wall balls, whether it's a burpee variety,
but just do like one minute, a certain number of meters.
And then on the other minute, some sort of a full body moving
workout that doesn't require
you to warm up for because that didn't go easy minutes.
You can go right into whatever you want to do.
If you want to lift, if you want to do a higher level skill, something you, especially this
time of year when it's cold, I really think it's important to get a sweat before you try
to start moving heavy, anything heavy,
heavy, right?
I'm a big proponent of if you don't have a lot of time, let's say you have less than
an hour.
I'm a huge proponent of picking movements that you like to do and specific to you as
an athlete, you know, you don't have to warm up very much for, and just creating a 20 to
30 minute workout that you build the intensity into.
And then by the end you can be hitting like max effort intensity.
For example, for me today, upper body pulling is not something
I have to warm up very much,
neither is lunging.
For whatever reason, lunging,
it could be heavy,
I just don't really have to warm it up much.
So I got into the gym,
I knew I wanted to do some pegboard,
some sandbag lunges,
and maybe a machine.
So I got on the biker,
I biked 15 calories,
I went onto the pegboard,
I hung from the pegboard for like 20 seconds.
I then did like 15 lunges in place while I was talking to some people for the class.
Then I went over to the 150 sandbag. I picked it up, took it over to my spot. I did a couple
lunges with it, put it down. And then I did 10 rounds for time, two pegboards, 10 sandbag walking
lunge steps with 150, 15 cal biker. And I just kind of held the same pace through seven rounds and then started to
build until it really started to hurt toward the end.
And then I left and that it's like a 20 minute workout for me.
I really enjoy.
Hey, this is what I like to do.
And, and within reason, right?
Like with everything at your fingertips and across an affiliate or, you know,
even potentially in a garage gym, you have so many options. Don't be redundant with it, but say,
Hey, I like this. I like this. I like this. I'm going to do this today. And then the next day,
say, I did that yesterday. I need to do something different, but you can still do things that you
like. I'm a big fan of that. Yeah. I think that's a really good point to not beat yourself up over
something that you know
You're not good at because typically the things you're not good at you have to mentally prepare more for and yeah You're a body more for like if I'm gonna do if I'm gonna do something that requires a really really
Technical overhead positioning that's gonna take me a while to warm up for so typically if I need to warm my shoulders up
I'll do handstand walker or I'll do burpees, or
I'll do wall walk. So do something that don't have to
warm up for it all. Another really, really good thing that I
recommend people do, especially this time of year is to save
your lifting for the end of your session. Because I think in
general, whether you do go wide, whether you do crossover
symmetry protocol, whether you do banded distractions, whether
you do like hip halo work to prime your squat.
Generally you have to do a lot less of that if you've already gotten your
heart rate up and you're already really opened up and breathing.
So I think you should save the heavy.
If you're going to go heavy, save it for the end of your session.
Yep.
Another good option if you're someone someone and maybe this isn't a everyday
thing for you, but some days you're really, really limited on time, mental energy, whatever. Pick a
machine only workout. You don't have to warm up at all and you can get crazy amounts of intensity or
a machine in burpee or a machine and a box jump, like things like that,
that you just really don't have to warm up for.
For me, like toes to bar,
that's something I don't ever have to warm up.
So if I'm caught on time and I wanna do something core,
I had GHD as well,
I just really don't have to warm those up.
So I can always do those.
Pick movements, kind of like JR said,
that you don't really have to warm up very much.
If you're really limited on time,
pair it with a machine.
A great option, something that I like to do is
like work rest intervals, work for two minutes,
rest for one minute for 10 rounds.
And there's a 30 minute workout
and you can get a crazy amount of intensity.
And say you're buying is, say you're like, all right,
I know I wanna do 150 GHDs today.
All right, two on one off for 10 rounds,
15 GHD set up buy-in, max rep, bike or calorie
and the time remaining or, or anything like that.
Like you, the options are limit, uh, limit.
Lists.
Thank you guys should prioritize things that you don't have to warm up a ton.
Um, things that you enjoy doing so that you'll get intensity and have fun doing
it in formats that are easy to ease into.
Um, it's really hard to really maximize a seven minute workout if you've got.
30 minutes to do it.
You know what I mean?
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, typically the more intense as in like the shorter, the workout,
the longer the warmup needs to be.
So, you know, you got 30 minutes, you can either warm up for 23 minutes
and do seven minutes of, you know, thrusters and burpees, or you can
warm up for seven minutes and do a 23 minute workout. know, thrusters and burpees, or you can warm up for seven minutes and do a
23 minute workout. I mean, that's usually, that's the way it goes.
One or the other,
something you said that I thought was really good about lifting.
In my opinion, if you're going to lift heavy for most people,
the less dynamic, the less the warmup needed. So like,
if you want to go heavy, typically if you
deadlift squat or bench press, it's going to take a lot less warming up than if you're going to do a
snatch variation or clean and jerk variation for most people. Yeah, I agree. Or you know, and then
I guess on the other side of that, like I like, because squatting takes a long time
for me to warm up, like I bias and I'm not squatting a ton right now.
I bias a lot towards like the power of Olympic lifts.
So you, I think also can play into your biases, uh, in terms of your specific body.
If you have things like this is a good point, where is this?
Um, Oh, here we, here we go.
Steven Feister before actual warmup.
I try to hit the little tweaks or boo-boos I've acquired most because I'm 36 and field
old.
Um, that's a great point.
If you're not competing, you don't have to stress about hammering your weaknesses.
Um, unless, unless you really enjoy doing that, which I'd venture to say, unless you
are trying to win something or compete, you probably don't enjoy
just doing things that you suck at or hurt to do.
Don't do them.
Um, do things that feel good and that gets you really fit.
Um, and then you don't have to warm up a ton.
I think that's critical for people with a really short amount of time.
Um, now what about the other end of the spectrum?
What ended that you're like trying to compete, you're trying to make, you're trying to make an
in affiliate semi-final and then make the games, you work a full-time job. How much do you think
is a minimum that you need to be training a day? Uh, I think, I think if you have a good base,
if you have an older training age,
meaning you've accumulated a ton of volume,
your movement pattern is really good
so you don't have to spend a lot of time doing movement work.
You don't have to spend a lot of time doing accessory stuff
because your body is pretty tolerant to a lot of reps,
to a lot of load.
In my opinion, you can do 90 minutes and be okay,
but I think that if you're training that less amount of time,
that it needs to be like 70% to 30%,
you're addressing the things that are
gonna maybe hold you back.
So you're training that much to weakness
as your strengths.
If you're limited on time,
if you're not limited on time,
then it's a completely different percentage breakdown.
But in general, you need to be doing the things
that you don't wanna see in a live competition
or an online competition more than you need
to be doing things that you know
you're really, really good at already.
Yeah, I would agree.
I also think the way you warm up,
kind of what JR hinted at with people
with a really limited amount of time is critical.
I think if you're an athlete who wants to be competitive and you have a limited amount
of time, it's even more important to do a workup, so to speak.
It's kind of a mixture between a workout and a warmup.
My coach used to have me do that, but it could be something super simple like five rounds
of a 20 cal row, a hundred double unders.
You know, you could just do, you could do V ups and crossover singles, some jogging,
whatever, but something that warms you up while still kind of hitting a metabolic pathway,
getting you a little out of breath.
It's not just 30 minutes of go wad.
And then all you've done is go wad.
You haven't done anything that makes a massive impact on your fitness.
Yeah, that's good.
Um,
what do you think of formats for people that are trying to compete that
also are limited on time?
Like, do you think, is there a percentage breakdown on how much an athlete should be doing
intervals versus for time workouts versus AMRAPs versus chippers? Well, something I feel really
strongly about and I'll continue to beat this drum is that if fitness is holding you back,
you shouldn't be spending time addressing strength or skill. So if fitness is holding you back,
that is the thing that you need to be doing the most
of.
And you've and you couplets triplets intervals longer but still intense.
Like what people say cardio sessions or whatever.
I just think that it's really silly for people who can't do well on three out of the four workouts in the open because they're fitness
limiting to worry about the high level skill and the strength. So in general, I think someone,
and you probably do this with the compete track, maybe with the 60 track, to me the easiest way to
get bang for your buck is you do something that you said your coach would prescribe to you as a warm-up, but it's
actually kind of a workout. Then you would go into your lifting. Then you would go in to your fur time or AMRAP. Like
that's, that's the way that I would recommend doing it. If you're going to do skill work, I think there's a way to layer
it into the warm-up. I also think you can do an EMOM of like 10 minutes or less for a specific skill you want to work on,
most likely after you get done
with your primary conditioning session.
Do you think if you, let's just say,
let's say ring muscle up is really popular for people.
When you have a limited amount of time,
do you think it's better to train that movement,
how you're gonna see it in a competition with interference under fatigue? Or do you think that let's
just say you're, you're limited by the, the sheer capacity of it. You just get tired really
easily. Do you think it's better to just build volume and try to build capacity within not
a, not a workout setting?
I think that's an important distinction is why you're, you need to work on them. If it's your technique is really bad versus you have
good technique, you just can't do a lot.
I think if your technique is really bad and you shouldn't be doing them in
workout settings as much as you're doing them on their own,
kind of in a skill development session.
Whereas if you have sound technique and you're pretty much efficient on,
on the reps and you just don't
have good capacity for volume and workouts, then you should just be doing them in workout
settings.
And you can kind of disguise that too.
Like you can do like that interval format I was just talking about.
You can start with the muscle up coming off of rest and then finish with intensity on
another movement to kind of play with easing into doing the reps under intensity.
Um, but I definitely think it's highly dependent on what part of the
muscle is holding you back skill efficiency or actual capacity or
stamina with the movement, like being able to do a lot of reps when you're
tired with someone that you coach individually, that's high level.
Well, let's just say high level is, um, they're going to be competing now at an affiliate semi. So they're going to be top 1% in the
world or they're going to compete in an in-person competition to go to the games. That's high
level. If there's a specific, let's just say a skill, how many times a week do you have
them do it? Like, or is there just a number of reps?
Like let's just say for a female and legless rope climbs,
do-
Once a week.
Once a week.
Let's say a female and regular rope climbs.
Probably still once a week.
What about muscle ups?
Bar once a week and ring once a week.
I still don't, and maybe one day they have some strict muscle up accessory and another
day they have kipping muscle ups.
Okay, so let's change the question.
What's the minimum number of reps they're accumulating in that one session?
30 I think for ring.
Okay.
Minimum.
I was curious if you say one session if you're like, you say one session, if you're like,
well, yeah, it's minimum 30 or it can be twice a week, but maybe once is like.
20 and another time is like 20.
I think it's minimum 30 for at that level in a session, unless it's a workout
and it's 20 in one sitting, which I don't think there's it's, that's not a
typical training piece.
I would write where you're, you know what I mean?
Like there are better ways to get better at doing like 23.1, like 14.4 where you're
doing 20, the end of a workout.
Yeah.
Right.
Interesting. I don't know. I also think what about, what about using every minute on the
minute format more often than not, if you have time constraints for a competitor or
not, whether you're doing strength battery work, whether you're doing skill work, whether
you're doing just like really, really hard, Hey, this is an EMOM, but it might as well
be an AMRAP type thing.
What, how do you feel about doing that?
Do you think that helps people get more in
because they know that they're really like tied
to that clock the whole time?
Yeah, I like that format a lot,
but it doesn't always have to be every minute.
It can be every two, every three, every four for X.
It can be two on, two off, one on, one off, every four for X. It can be two on,
two off, one on, one off, one 30 on, one 30 off, 30 on, 30 off. You can play with the
time domains and the intensities and the reps and the volume, et cetera. What, you know,
whether it's an open every four for 10 or two on, two off for 10, like there's a lot
you can do with that. And I do really like, um, holding people accountable to a clock.
But I also think for most people that are trying to be competitive, that aren't
maybe at that in affiliate semi level or in-person competition level, and maybe
they are, and they're just not top 10.
I don't think those people are good enough to avoid doing couplets and triplets and 20 minute AMRAPs either.
So like for example on Compete, maybe almost every training day for Compete one of their workouts is
some form of interval format, whether it's an EMOM, which is an interval or every two or every four
or every eight for four, et cetera, to accumulate volume, but also to accumulate like volume
of repetitions, but also volume of intensity.
So time under tension at a particular intensity, heart rate, speed, pace, whatever.
But then also they need to hit like a chipper or a couplet, I think, or a triplet or something
classic that it's a format they're going to see.
Cause maybe they don't have that competition experience of, oh, I know how this three round for time workout's going to
feel 50 wall balls and 50 burpee box jump overs.
How should I approach that?
Well, if you only ever do intervals and you don't know how
to approach that, you know,
not everyone is Dallin and James Sprague where you have the
experience and depth of knowledge and self-awareness to
know what you should pace, how this workout's going to feel,
et cetera.
A lot of people need to feel that.
Yeah, this is definitely more shows down the road,
but if they stick to their guns,
which I think that they will,
and they still program the open the same way,
whether they do three weeks with four scores
or they just do three weeks with three scores,
if they're whittling down to 1%, right?
So not 25%, which is what it's been, what?
Which what it was last year and then 10% the year before
for quarter finals.
You better believe that like you are getting classic
crossfit.
So whether you're someone that's just trying to say,
hey, I'm gonna do the community cup or whatever
after the open, or you're gonna try to make that top
You know thousand or two thousand or three thousand in the world for an affiliate semifinals
The meat and potatoes still has to be crossfit couplets triplets high intensity 20 minute AM wraps
I think that's a conversation for another show
But it still blows my mind how many people don't go 20 minutes at least once a week and I'm not saying like
One on one off for 10 rounds. I'm saying a true 20 minute for time or amrap effort
Yeah, that's a that's a huge mistake. And if you're if you're if you're whittling down to 1%
You're only doing three weeks. I find it really hard to believe that there's not gonna be a workout. That's 15 plus minutes straight, right?
right, um, I agree I not going to be a workout that's 15 plus minutes straight. Right, right.
I agree.
I do think that there are times of the year where you can do less of that.
I think around this time of the year, you need to start doing it every week without
a doubt.
I think there are times of the year where you can spend a lot more time doing intervals
so that when you get to this time of the year, you have kind of a base capacity or an ability
to operate during that 20 minute time period of particular intensity.
I mean for me that 20 minute workout this morning was I mean maybe one of the first
I've done in a couple, I don't know, it's one of the more rare workouts I've done that's
just 20 minutes straight through over the past few months and it was nice.
You know heart rate 170 the whole time,
160, 170, 180, it's a good workout.
And I don't like to do a ton of predictable blocks
or cycles or whatever as far as the affiliate programming
goes but something that crash and I guess the WPTH
subscribers are gonna get is starting in January,
I love to start doing open mashup type workouts,
whether they're every two minutes, whether they're every two
minutes, whether they're EMOM, where I'm really taking old open workouts, old combinations,
because those are still some of the best and most potent, and just putting the members in a situation
where they have to feel that combination, but maybe not at that all out, 100% intensity.
And I think there's a lot of value mentally,
more so than physically,
that when they see thrusters and burpees,
they know it's gonna hurt, but they're like,
hey, I mean, we did thrusters and double unders,
we did that thruster and burpee, we 14.5, we did the,
you know, whatever, they start to look back
on the things they've done over the last few months,
and they feel like they're a little bit more prepared.
Whether they are or not, who knows, but at least they've, uh, they've been exposed to
those combinations a little bit more often.
Yeah. Um, this is top G and Z Taylor. Where can I buy your pull-up program? That's on
the website train sentinel.com. You can get the conditioning program too. If you suck
at cardio, um, cross fat, just a bunch of Cindy or add higher skill?
I mean, I think Cindy's a great workout.
Like it's, again, often overlooked.
You can get so much intensity.
And for an athlete who's like bigger,
I mean, there are a lot of bigger guys in the sport right now
who struggle more with body weight movements.
Doing pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats
is a really good way to get good
at moving your body through space.
But that being said, higher skills are important. For example,
I mean again, the workout I did this morning at pegboards and my goal was, like if you're gonna do a 20-minute workout,
I think you need to write it in a way where you are
moving consistently for 20 minutes and able to maintain an intensity or build your intensity.
You shouldn't be writing a 20-minute workout that you're just gonna be stopping and staring at things
for periods of time.
So for that pegboard lunge biker workout,
I would say I had each implement
maybe 10 to 15 feet apart.
And I did all my pegboards unbroken.
I walked right to the sandbag, picked it up, lunged.
I didn't step up.
I stepped through every lunge, dropped the sandbag,
walked to the bike, biked at a particular pace, it was like a 12.50,
nothing crazy, right back to the pegboard,
two unbroken reps, et cetera,
and there was no place of rest in the workout,
I think that's what you need out of a 20 minute workout
like that.
Yeah, and CrossFit, like something that I think of
when I think of a 20 minute AMRAP
as far as getting prepared for the open,
I think of something like a 20 minute AMRAP,
five shuttle runs, 10 burpee box jump over anyhow,
15 wall balls, five, 10, 15, five, 10, 15, five, 10, 15.
Now, most people are gonna be either they're gonna start
running slowly or they're gonna start breaking the wall ball
or they're gonna start moving through mud on the burpees.
But that's good because typically in a 20 minute AMRAP,
if it's something like a triplet,
it's usually gonna pick people off in different spots.
And I think something that's really gassy like that,
where the only thing that's really holding you back
is your base conditioning, is a good way to go about it.
I think if you're doing a 20 minute AMRAP
with a bunch of high skills,
unless you're an elite level competitor,
it's kind of silly
because you're resting 10 of the 20 minutes probably.
Right, right.
Yeah.
There should not be, you shouldn't be doing 20 minute workouts with rest and cyclical
is great.
What do you like in terms of shorter sprints?
Like we were just talking about making a long workout,
something that is like that 20 minute AMRAP,
something cyclical that you continue moving for 20 minutes.
I think you should approach again,
training up into the open,
sprint workouts kind of similarly.
Like I think you should pick movements
that you know you can go all out on
because we don't take the opportunity
to go all out very often.
So for example, for me, if I ride an all out workout that has two Oh five
thrusters and seated legless rope climbs, well, there's not much point to that
to me because I suck it heavy thrusters and it's just going to be a seated legless
workout and I rest on the barbell forever.
Whereas if the workouts 50 Cal echo bike, 50 American kettlebell swings with the 50, that's a completely different
story. I think people need to feel that a lot too. And I think that's often overlooked.
Yeah. So I think if you're going to go really, really fast and intense skill level probably
needs to be lower load, if not at least movement pattern, like
technicality needs to be very much decreased. It doesn't need
to be something that requires a lot of thought or a lot of
precision. But I think that a descending rep scheme is the
best way to do it. I think there are ways you can do whatever,
you know, you do five rounds a time of 10 and 10 or you do six
rounds of time of six rounds for time of 12 and 12.
But I think like your classic 21 down to three or your 15 down to three by threes,
something with a descending rep scheme is usually the best way to keep intensity
throughout the whole workout. Yep. Yep. Um, Casey Allen, Taylor,
how do you recommend somebody incorporate your conditioning ebook into the 60 track?
I think if you're somebody who really conditioning ebook into the 60 track?
I think if you're somebody who really needs to work on cardio,
maybe add those workouts in once a week to start
and keep the Thursday conditioning,
because they'll be like,
if you think of all the 200 workouts in that book are 212,
a lot of them are from previous Thursdays.
So don't replace a current Thursday
with one of those workouts, do the current Thursday and maybe add that workout in on a Monday or a Sunday.
Um, and if you get, you feel great just adding one extra week and you are feeling
juicy, then sometimes maybe add in a second shorter one, like a 20, one of the
20 ish minute ones.
Um, what's this new logo up here? W PTH.
Yeah. Taylor thought we needed to put who it was written by on the body.
We, we fuck with a pH.
As if I'm not the other cohost.
Okay, dude. Well, yeah, yeah. Uh,
affiliate programming, uh, for just athletes and then also for coaches, those two tracks. It'll come out in January. We'll get the sign up going. I might around Christmas time go ahead and open it up for the first month just to make sure that all the transactions are being processed correctly and that people are getting welcome emails and they're able to download the app with no issues and all that kind of stuff. And then the last thing will be the eight track which is
just gonna be eight bucks a month. Eight workouts could be a workout like we're
describing today. That would be a classic workout. You know the 33, 27, 21, 15, 9 of
you know hang snatches and toes to bar, something like that, something that's
really high intensity, but short on time.
I don't really like, I hate actually hate the term finisher, but just something that
you want to add to your training session.
If you didn't have time to get something in earlier in the week, but you don't have as
much time to do it and you need to find something short to get in. It'll be those kind of workouts.
Sick. Can you address this? Read the name?
Augustus Link, how would JR deal with an affiliate member who broke a sandbag, proceeded to dump
sand all over the place while continuing to use his broken sandbag? It's an interesting
question. I was actually there and I witnessed the whole situation.
His wife was also there witnessing the whole situation. Saw some sandbag come out the side,
turned and looked at me. I probably pursed my uh, did this with my eyebrows, watched the second one happen,
more sand coming out.
At that point, I don't know if the workouts are most over, but I do know as Quentin McQueen
pointed out, was this me?
The equipment room is right next to where this gentleman was working out.
So he could have just walked in there and gotten, uh, Taylor, a similar
situation happened to Taylor at crescendo actually, but this is not
into my sandbag.
It was a different guy.
This is not Taylor we're talking about, but yeah, that was a really, it was
actually a really funny situation.
Um, that sandbag in all honesty is as old as the old gym.
Like that's one of the first sandbags I ever got and call it 150. Was that Jason? Yeah, he posted a real on
is actually a funny real. But yeah, that's what that's what
happened. I mean, all we did was the workout ended, we
cleaned up the sand, I use the sand to put in another sandbag
that needed sand. So it wasn't it wasn't. It happens all the
time. We've happens all the time in the gym. People break sandbags
all the time.
that needed sand. So it wasn't, it wasn't, it happens all the time. We've happens all the time in the gym. People break sandbags all the time.
Queever. Yeah. I get yelled at at least three times a week to clean something up by Andy
or, or it's not even yelling. It's just like, yeah, hey, I cleaned that up for you. No big deal.
While you're like, while you're laying down with your, with your legs crossed.
Are you done with that?
In your rest position?
Hey, are you done with that?
Hey, what's Kill Taylor tomorrow?
Um, oh, it's good one.
I'm not telling it on here.
Okay.
Ever.
Maybe we should do a show programming Kil Taylor.
No, we got, we have seven on here because the whole reason why you ever lose is because
he doesn't want workouts over like seven minutes long.
I've been saying that.
Yeah, I know.
And that is really not my niche at all.
Um, I would say more so I'm like a 20 minute guy.
Agreed.
Or at least a 15 to 20 minute guy.
The longer the workout, the harder it's going to be to beat you.
Yes, I agree.
And including with skills, like if the longer, like the more volume you have to
accumulate, definitely get better and better and better when I am not the type
of athlete who's like, I'm not bad at cycling things quickly, but I am not.
I'm not bad at cycling things quickly, but I am not.
Like I wouldn't call me a Tola type athlete or I am great at sprint power output, trying to cycle something quick, unless it's again, a very niche type of workout, like power snatch,
Burpee, box jump over. That's a different story. I'm really great at both of those movements and
I can move them very efficiently, but, and like muscle ups too, and things, the more volume it is, the better.
Speaking of burpee box jump over the class workout today was for time partition as desired,
30 burpee box jump over 30 inches, 30 overhead squat, 135, 95, 30 ring muscle ups.
If you had to do that workout as fast as you could do it, how would you do it?
Like just three rounds of 10 10 10 for someone like you because you just do that
I'm broken and fast with the burpee and the muscle ups three rounds of 10 10 10. I
try to probably just do all of the ring muscle ups and then
go directly to
Overhead squats and then finish with burpee box jump overs maybe,
I don't know.
So you would just do it as a true 30, 30, 30 chipper?
Do you think that would be faster?
I feel like that might be faster.
There's less transitions.
I mean, you could squat the overhead squats
probably at a very, I would say a nice,
like not a rushed pace
and you can almost catch your breath on, I don't know. For you, 30 overhead squat is like not a rushed pace and you can almost catch your breath on. I mean, for you, for you, 30 overhead squat is like just a minute of, of
breathing, right at one 35, right?
Yeah.
I feel like that's why I feel like that'd be, but I'm not also accounting
how 30 burpee box jump overs feels after 30 unbroken overhead squats.
After 30 muscle ups.
Like I'd bet my legs would just be completely fucked.
Um, so maybe that pace, pace, but I don't know.
I always feel like I can really hurt on burpees to finish.
So maybe it's 20 step up burpees.
And then the last 10, I jump up, jump down.
But even a step up, jump up burpee box jump over
is not really much slower than a jump up one.
No, not at, not at 30 inches. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it's a,
it's a good, it was a really good, like choose your own adventure because 30 is such a daunting number on the rings for people. But like I told people, Hey,
if you want to do Isabelle, do 30 rounds of one, one, one,
but I don't recommend that you do that. You know what I mean? I did. Um,
so I put the bar on one side of the rings and I put the box on the other side
and I did five rounds of six, three, six, three. So I did Burpee walk to the rings,
do three, keep walking, do six, walk back to the ring. So I just kept going back and
forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Oh, I like that. Um, I still, I still rested too much, but here's a workout you'll like all shoulders.
So I did Bryson actually came up with this.
It was every two minutes for 10 sets.
It was the first time I done burpee box jump overs in forever.
I just been, I've been doing a lot of burpees.
I just haven't done those for whatever reason.
Um, it was every two minutes for 10 sets, nine burpee box jump overs, 15 calorie
echo bike, and it was just a nice sprint interval is very, very,
very poor.
Yeah. It's 24.
Yeah.
That's that's, that's stinky.
I like workouts.
That's the workout.
You don't have to warm up for like, I like, I really like workouts like that.
Yeah, that's good.
Um, what else on like maximizing your time?
Um,
yeah, don't scroll. Somebody put it it in the comments like to start the show.
Don't scroll on your fucking phone.
I put my phone away when I get into the gym and I work out and I don't look at it.
And if I'm doing a big session, I don't look at it between workouts.
I do my best not to.
Yeah.
And I think just giving yourself a minute checkpoints like is really really smart. So
giving yourself
Minutes in the hour in the 90 seconds to where
You're going to be moving to the next thing at minute 20 and you're going to be moving to the next thing at minute
35 or at minute 45 or by an hour in you need to be done with the first two things. Like I think doing that starting out,
when you write out your whiteboard,
write it out with some times on there
so that you kind of keep yourself honest
before you look up and you're like,
hey, I'm halfway through and I only have 10 more minutes.
I didn't realize if you click this side button
on the mouse accidentally, it means back.
So, I didn't hear anything you said.
Augustus, how are you supposed to see the program without your phone phone you look at your phone and write it all on a fucking whiteboard
Then you shove your phone up your ass for the rest of your training session
And then you can't see your phone, bro
Power hours are good
They are that's I mean that's probably the best way
Our hours are good.
See this? They are.
That's, I mean, that's probably the best way, honestly,
is like, hey, 10 minute of like a workout type warmup.
And then by minute 20,
you're doing whatever strength you're doing.
And then by minute 40,
you're hitting a really hard workout
and you lay on the ground for five minutes
and then you go home.
Like this probably the best way.
I'd argue it'd make the front squats easier, dude.
You're giving yourself a little more hip width, especially if you put it in that way, kind
of giving yourself some flexion gapping in that region.
You have wider base of support, I would say.
Hey, do you ever do reverse drag with the torque tank?
Do you have straps for it or do you just hold the handles and just roll back?
Almost all the time.
I have straps.
I did one today that was good. Um, it was every three minutes for 30 minutes, 10 wall balls, 20 pound to a 12, 50 foot
reverse drag, 10 line facing Burpees, 50 foot reverse drag back.
And it was all, it was about two on one offer.
Nice.
And it's good because the volume is low on the wall ball.
The chunks are small on both movements.
So really it just becomes a, my legs are really burning on this sled the whole
time.
You know what I'm told Bryson that I wanted to start doing with him.
And I don't know if I'm going to be able to get him to buy in, but I was like,
Hey, once a week, we knew I used to do this with Andy, but I used to do this on
my own as well.
I would just do a workout that was so hard and grueling where like the only
point of doing it was to basically not
quit when you wanted to so much like an hour fucking workout. So I told Bryce, I was like,
Hey, once a week, we need to do this. And our first two options are, um, a thousand burpees
for time split between the two of us. And then the other was a mile walking lunge and he didn't respond.
No response.
I was just going to say we could do 50 rounds.
You go, I go like 50 each 10 burpees.
So yeah, that's what a pussy would say.
Mason.
Actually, that's what a that's what a soggy I won't go there.
But there's a lot to be said for stuff like
that. And I kind of miss doing that. I really do miss doing that.

The Paramount Plus exclusive series, The Agency.
The CIA sends us out to behave in a dangerous way.
Starring Michael Fassbender
and Richard Gere. Whatever it takes, make it invisible. The Agency, new series now
streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus. Oh, geez. Hour 30 workout. That's probably what we
should start doing on Kill Taylor. Because I, a lot of times, no, not on, I mean like days that I do
Kill Taylor. I find myself doing Kill Taylor and then not much the rest of the day.
But if I just did kill Taylor and something like that, that'd be really nice.
Oh, could I break 160 burpees in seven minutes?
Definitely.
Definitely.
Definitely.
My 100 for time is, uh, four.
Oh nine.
So I feel like I could do another 60.
Oh, I don't know.
What do you think?
I feel like I can, that's the Panchenk record from depends on the time.
I mean, it depends on the type.
If you're doing the, if you're doing the touch to me, that's still really impressive
to do the six. Oh, super hard for at a six inch target. If you're talking about line
facing or bar facing is so much faster in my opinion than those. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep.
Um, Oh yeah. I was gonna initially this episode was gonna be me versus coach L programming
But I fucking dropped that fucking hey, this is this is this is a I'm gonna ask you a personal question right now This is actually funny that you pulled up that because I was wondering I was like, you know
What I should just dig in a little bit and ask Taylor about this
Because I didn't know any of what was going on yesterday until a few people texting me about it
Of course people text you bad People love to fucking talk. Okay.
Um,
Oh, this is, this is a long conversation. This is, this is a long conversation.
This is a long conversation. Okay. I'm going to try and make it fast and we can
expound upon it next week. Maybe my CPA will be done. When, when, when is it?
Okay. Where's the line drawn for-
For people's workouts?
For, no, no, no, for programming a workout
for more than one person.
Oh, okay.
I think the line is drawn at you wrote the workout,
you've possibly even done the workout,
you know that it's a fantastic fucking workout,
and you want these specific athletes
to feel that stimulus that you did, that you felt.
That's where I think the line is.
You think you have to do it yourself
to dose it out to others?
I have definitely given, yeah.
If you don't do every workout you wrote, you write, like for instance, if you write a workout, an individual, I'm talking about,
if you write a workout for Morgan, right? I'm not, this is what I'm talking about is
if I write an individual custom one-on-one workout, that's what I'm talking about. If
I'm writing a class workout or a workout for 60 or compete, uh, sometimes there are workouts
that I haven't done as written, but I've done variations or forms, or I've done a workout and I'm like,
ooh, it would be better this way. I'm going to give it to compete this way. Or that was too hard
for me. I definitely need to change it for a compete or 60. Or I want them to do these two
movements. I've done so many workouts like this. They're going to do this. That's fine. But if
this, they're going to do this. That's fine. But if you're if someone's paying you for custom programming, one on one individualized programming, in my opinion, it is only acceptable
to give that to give them a cookie cutter piece is if you've done it. And you think
the and the not think fuck that is if you've done it and you know that
the stimulus is pertinent to what they need to work on or you know that the stimulus is
pertinent to what they need to work on.
Yeah, I was gonna say I don't think you need to do it yourself to know what the stimulus
is going to be.
If you're a good coach, you know that but I also think that if you've done the workout,
you know way better what the stimulus is.
There's a lot of people.
And I think this is a good thing.
And I'm curious to know what you think about it. Oh, you know, some training camps do like a throw down where they host it every week.
Everyone gets together.
It doesn't matter who's their individual coach.
They all do this one workout on Friday, kind of like the open to build community, to throw
down against other people, to, you know, brag to others, like to compete, all that kind of stuff.
Do you think that like, is there a time of the season where all of your
individual athletes get a actual workout that you're, isn't necessarily
written for one of them, but it's written for all of them where you can see,
Hey, here's this workout.
I want you to do it.
I'm giving it to these other four people.
We need to see where you're where you stand right now.
And something like that.
Yeah, absolutely.
I do that weekly.
Do you do it?
No, I don't do it weekly.
Um, but I do write workouts where I'm like, okay, I know what good scores are on this.
And I would like to see how this athlete does a response to this workout for sure.
Um, but it is not the same as just writing a workout for, um, one athlete called scapular
endurance.
That's the most retarded fucking workout I've ever seen in my life.
And giving it to John Young, who can't do fucking five handstand pushups and muscle
ups in a row.
Like, well, that's not the same.
My, my reason for asking is because,
if you write a workout and it's yours,
and I see it and I'm like, man, that's a really well-written workout.
You know what?
I think Lindsay would really, really benefit
from doing that.
I'm gonna give it to her.
Is the protocol me asking you for permission?
Is the protocol me asking you for permission is the protocol me giving it
to Lindsay and putting asterisk originally written by Taylor self is the
protocol doing that and posting to social media. Hey, I just want everyone to
know that I programmed this workout for Lindsay, but Taylor really wrote it.
Like what, what do you, what do you think people should do in that situation?
This is just like, dang, that's a, that's a good workout, but I can't use it
because Taylor that's his property.
No protocol is acknowledging where it came from.
So for example, if I use a workout from main site, I say courtesy of CrossFit
main site, if I use like, I wrote a workout for 60 in two weeks, that's a
variation of the 2023 quarter final workout with rowing, GHDs and V-ups.
I didn't like the fact that it was 1K and 500 meters and that it was 50 GHDs and 25 V-ups
for 60. So I wrote 75 cal row for men, 50 V-up, 50 cal row for men, 25 GHD sit-up, and it was a 20
minute AMRAP. And in the notes, I'm going say, this is a twist on 2023 CrossFit quarterfinals workout
number two, whatever.
If it's exactly, I put under the workout asterisk
courtesy of CrossFit main site and put the dates
or courtesy of Rich Froning, whatever,
or courtesy of Keefer Lamy, whatever.
And then if someone else posts it, they tag whoever.
I did, like I did Saxon's workout.
He posted this workout was like five sets.
Sandbag or something. Yeah. Echo bike, sandbag step up. I was like, damn, that's a sick workout.
I love that. I want to do it. So I did it and I tagged him. Um, I didn't do it and like fucking
check out this savage workout. I did implying that I like made it up. So you're saying if you're, if, if you're going to publicly, um, give the
workout love or, you know, put it out there, then it needs to be acknowledged.
Who was the rider is what you're saying.
But if you're just going to do the workout for you and you don't care
about posting anything to social media, you're just like, yeah, it's a workout.
I saw a workout.
I mean, there's thousands and thousands of workouts available.
Some are good. Some are not good. Um, and yeah, I mean, yeah,
I'm that's curious.
You got L L is the co-owner. He has owner in his bio of brew.
And I just have to say,
I can't fathom how anyone would want to get into business with someone like him.
If you watch his, he has shifty, the shiftiest fucking eyes I've ever seen.
He's always looking around like fucking trying to tell a lie, trying
to act like he's not lying.
What are you talking about?
You know exactly what I mean.
When you get a sleazy vibe from someone, like they have shifty, they
have a shifty vibe or shifty eyes.
Like I can think of probably, I can think of a lot of people I know like that.
He's, he's one of them.
When I saw him on the podcast, I was like,
dude, this dude is a fucking liar.
And I saw all the, knowing everything I've known
from other people, him just copy and pasting workouts.
Like dude, the instances of that is crazy
when you're paying that amount of money.
I've been around Matt.
I've been around Matt, seems like a really cool dude.
I've never been around Coach L,
but what I can say is
I've seen maybe one or two people that they've written for and for that person, it looks good.
You've seen John Young's? I can't speak to it otherwise. No, not John's. But again, listen,
here's the thing.
Everyone has the different opinions on stuff like that. You better judge a character, bro.
And I think it's, yeah, and maybe that's just my naivety,
just in general, to not be as a-
Well, you've never been around him,
so I can't tell you the amount of shifty motherfucking,
lying ass motherfuckers I've been around, dude.
I used to be one of them.
I used to be a recovering drug addict bro.
So I just know that else.
Maybe you need to be more optimistic of people's intentions.
Positive?
Fuck no I don't.
Oh no.
Yeah, JY used to be coached by him and one time John Young sent me a workout that was
called, it was an EMOM titled Scapular Endurance.
And I believe it was written for some sort of female athlete
that's really good at gymnastics that he was coaching at the time and just copy and paste
it into John's training and I'm sure John got four minutes into the workout he's like hey John
uh hey Taylor I want to see how far you can get in this workout I was like I'd never do that
workout it's fucking dumb so yeah no the thing to that. Yeah, but if it was a but if it was a bunch
of handstand push ups, that's probably just what it was supposed to be targeting. Oh,
it was like it was like 38 scat pull ups 42 freestanding handstand shoulder taps 13 wall
facing strict deficit wall complex reps. It was the dumbest motherfucking thing ever dude. It was crazy
I will say though that there are methods that people have
There's ones that you have especially like how you've said you like to do strength work a little bit differently the other people
Where some people might use like a west side method and some people might use like volume training and stuff like that
And I think this is a good thing
Unfortunately, I haven't embraced this from a competition programming standpoint. But I think it is good that people use different
methods for different athletes, especially people who have done a lot of different kinds
of stuff and it really hasn't worked. And they try to find different ways to do things.
While Dubai is going on right now, and we're not talking about that today. But I still find it really, really hard
to accept the idea of like,
hey, you go to this competition,
they're a little bit biased to this.
Hey, you go to this competition,
you're probably not gonna go long.
Hey, you go to this competition,
it's probably gonna be all long workouts.
Hey, you go to this competition,
it's gonna be really skill heavy.
In the same way, I am a hypocrite
and I think that's good for training to get people better, to have
different methods of doing things.
But for competition, I feel really strongly that we should all be a little
bit more aware of what's well-rounded and what's a good way of testing
athletes and what's not.
So, yeah, I think competition should all be very well-rounded.
I do think sometimes it's
different coaches having different methods is one thing. Writing retarded workouts is another. And I'm just going to say that that workout and others I've seen, that's like 10 times more
retarded than even my quarter final workouts that we wrote when we did that on Shut Up and Scribble.
Because looking back at those workouts, dude, those are-
Yeah, but that's the thing. You wrote those workouts not- Yeah, thing you wrote those workouts not yeah but you wrote
those workouts not saying this is a dumb workout let's write this. So what I'm saying is that's the
good thing about what we are doing is that it's really all to the writer. The writer may think
it's good at the end of the day that's all it really matters is the writer think it's good and
does it work and if you don't like it that's fine and if I hate it that fine. But there have been workouts that you've written that I haven't liked and there's been
workouts I've written that you haven't liked. That's okay. It doesn't mean that they're
not effective, but I think it is cool that we have the opportunity to do that and it
can all work for different people.
Right. But I think what we're missing here is I at no point was saying, I don't like
these workouts or they're not effective. I was saying, people are paying you $375 a month and you're not giving them one
to one custom individualized programming.
You're copy and pasting and stealing from other places.
How did that, how did that?
Stealing in the sense that he pays EMOM code $20 a month and then gets what?
A 20,000% return to just copy and paste all of those workouts into his 57 individuals.
That's crazy.
He sounds like he owns, uh, owes Brandon luck at a fat paycheck.
What's up? Sorry. Maybe he pays them out. Um, he doesn't. We'll move on. I lost my trade. I
lost my trade thought. Oh, what was, uh, what was the resolution to y'all's back and forth?
Are you guys doing a programming competition? What's going on? No, I won the programming
competition. I wrote him a sick workout. He had no rebuttal and
it was over. Bounce on my dick 50 times for time.
I was going to say I find that hard to believe.
Yeah. Well, he couldn't do the workout. So I won. I wrote the better workout. He didn't
even try. The guy, the jokester said,
I challenge you to a programming competition.
Winner, winner shuts, winner is the best and loser shuts the fuck up forever.
And I said, all right, what's the competition?
And his response was, nah, you don't get to come at me
and then ask questions.
And I was like, whoa, do you have a mental disorder?
Retard, because I'm pretty sure I have to know
what the competition is in order to engage in it.
And he couldn't give me an answer
and then I just fucking clapped him with a hilarious joke
and then it was over.
I think you should go about the dialogue
like you did with Luca, where you just,
you talk it out and you agree to disagree.
No, I like Luca.
You come to, you come to,
you can understand each other better than-
I don't think Luca's a liar or a cheater or a thief.
And I don't think Luca is ruining
the professional coaching industry.
So no, I will not speak to him like Luca.
I think you should not just knee jerk,
believe what someone tells you all the time.
It wasn't just one person.
And it was like 500 different people.
500?
I was, dude.
Don't fucking lie to me, dude.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Listen to me real quick.
500 people could tell me that they hate you and the stuff that you say.
Does that mean I need to listen to them and stop being your friend?
No, because those are opinions.
500 people didn't tell me they hated L and the things that he said. 500 people said he charged me $375 a month to give me the same workouts
he writes for Daniel Randon.
500 people told you that?
Yeah. 500 divided by 10 did. Same thing, bro.
That's still a lot.
I cannot even count the number of DMs I have from people saying, damn, he actually did
this to me too, or, ooh, I had this meeting with him and this was the price. And, oh, this is what I was always
getting told by people that my workouts were the same that they saw from this other athlete.
My question is though, too, do those people have a vested interest in you?
No.
Are those people now that you get programming for and are like, are those just complete strangers?
I would say a vast majority are complete strangers.
Maybe a handful are on Sentinel
and they pay 20 bucks a month,
but what's the vested interest to me?
They're coming from paying someone 3.75 versus paying 20.
You would think they would want to,
you would think that they would not want to admit
that they get more for $20 than they got for 3.75. Like if I were in their shoes, I'd be like, to, you would think that they would not want to admit that they get more
for $20 and they got for 375.
They would, like, if I were in their shoes, I'd be like, damn, that 375 was worth it.
Money well spent, but instead they're like, it wasn't.
Is it a, is it, does it come down to a question of morality for you that you feel the need
to like address and engage or is it just like, uh, Hey, I'm going to mess with this person.
Both.
And I'll say that it's probably on a scale of zero on like a 100% breakdown.
It's probably 74% morality and 26%.
I'm about to put this fucker on blast for just doing some stupid shit.
And the, and the morality aspect comes from my whole philosophy and business structure
is I want to charge as little as possible for the absolute most value.
Like I want to give people the best fucking training they could ever get the most fun
workouts, the best results, the
best coaching, the most access to a coach for the absolute cheapest price. Um, because
I want to affect change on as many people as I can and have like real relationships.
Like that's why I love CrossFit. I love being an affiliate. I love Sentinel because I get
to talk to people. I get to talk to people about squat therapy. I get to talk to people
about their muscle ups. I get to help someone with their snatch
or their clean and jerk.
Like I just love doing that and I love helping people.
And I, and hey, when you get a fucking great cue
from a coach and it fixes something,
that feeling is amazing.
You're like, holy fuck, it clicked.
That's awesome.
That's what I wanna provide people with.
And I fucking resent the notion
that you can go and charge 20 times
what I charge and give them something with one fucking one hundredth of the value and
call yourself a good coach and to be reposted by CrossFit on their Instagram.
That's a fucking joke, bro.
It's a flat out fucking joke.
And that fucking clown would get his ass clapped in a
programming competition by me any day of the fucking week not just programming but also fitness
motherfucker. I'm a thousand times fitter than he'll ever be and I know more about CrossFit.
I've forgotten more about CrossFit workouts than he's ever fucking learned and I'm a better coach,
a better athlete, a better programmer, a better business owner. Fuck that guy and I'm a better coach, a better athlete, a better programmer, a better business owner.
Fuck that guy. And I resent him taking it.
It's, it's, it's, it's okay.
And maybe it's just like, maybe it's just taken years. No, that's okay. I mean, I'm,
it's all good. We're just talking. Um, maybe it's just taken, taken years to kind of have, I don't know, maybe just like this mindset or opinion,
but like,
you can see that or you can get told things about people
and it can like also like not fire you up.
What I'm trying to figure out is,
where does it come from at its root? Like is it more of like
a I can't believe that guy's making that much money. I should be making that. Those people
should be coached by me. I don't understand why people are, you know, is it personal on
that level? Because I mean, think about how many people that you see that, you know, maybe the wrong way, maybe whatever. And you're just, and you're just like, you're just like, whatever, dude.
It's about taking advantage of people and actually helping people.
You don't think he or other coaches that you don't think are good coaches are helping a lot of people?
No, I think he's taking advantage of people.
I think he's more so taking advantage of people than he is helping them.
Stop that.
Jr.
I'm just talking about that.
What do you charge an affiliate?
What are you charging your affiliate for your memberships?
Say 150.
That's half what he charges for his remote coaching to copy and
paste from someone else.
You think he helps people more than he helps you more than you help people.
Like, do you think you ha you affect greater change on people
day in day out than he does and he charges twice for it.
So what I'm saying is his rate of take advantage, this, whatever the fuck
you want to call it is through the roof.
He's taken advantage of people, dude.
And that's what fires me up.
I don't give a fuck about how much money he's making. Like look at street parking. They make it. They make of people, dude. And that's what fires me up. I don't give a fuck about how much money he's making.
Like look at street parking.
They make, they make beaucoup bucks, dude.
They make fuck you money, but they help people.
They are helping so many people.
Fuck, that's cool.
But this guy, you 57 individuals,
I don't even want fucking three individuals.
It's too hard, it's too much. And this, like I have three and that's the perfect amount. I don't even want fucking three individuals. It's too hard. It's too much and
And this like I have three and that's the perfect amount. I don't want any more I love them all three of them. They're amazing people and that's the that's the time I can commit this guy's got 57
You can't have 57 individuals and give them and actually help them. You're just a fucking liar
It's and taking advantage man. And that's it just a lot a lot of a lot of people would a lot of people would just say number one
you're worth what someone's willing to pay you period that's what you're worth
you're worth what someone's willing to pay you whether that's whether whether
that's a crazy amount of money or not it's it doesn't matter what you think and
matters you think the federal government't matter what you think. It matters what you think.
It matters what the people are thinking.
Do you think the federal government's worth
what you pay them?
I'm not choosing to pay them for a service.
I get what you're saying,
but I think people get tricked into thinking
that that is what the industry standard is,
and that what they get in return is the industry standard,
and I think that's what fires me up.
I'm like, hey people, getting copy and paste bullshit
for fucking a bajillion bucks a month
is not the industry standard.
That's just fucking bullshit.
But I believe too that some people are naive and ignorant,
but everyone's not dumb.
And I believe that if there are people
that are doing things that like aren't good industry
practices or best practices or whatever, that that takes care of itself.
No different than gyms that don't run really well.
No different than gyms that don't program well.
I think eventually people, if they try something else, will be like, geez, why did I do this
for this long?
I don't always think that's the case.
Look at all the massive businesses and corporations that engage in fucking
terrible business practice and never fucking see the consequences.
I mean, imagine a fucking a million dollar fine for Pfizer
ain't putting them out of business, bro.
You know how many fines they pay just to stay in business,
to continue engaging in bad business practices and making trillions of fucking dollars.
So I don't subscribe to the notion that just because he does things the wrong way
People will somehow see that and figure it out
I think he rides the wave of professional athletes
Into the rest of his subscriber base whether that's individual clients or they have a subscription based service at brew
I don't know, but they 100% ride the backs of their athletes and
Only give attention
to maybe five of them, probably less, maybe fucking two of them. And then everybody else
is an afterthought and they fuck him in the ass.
Um, this is kind of a change and not really change the subject, but just, uh, from what
we started the conversation on, like repurposing metcons for different athletes.
All right.
We're off.
This is this hit.
Do you, bottom line for me, you're giving him energy and attention.
He doesn't deserve, we're done talking about, do you think that, um, do you think
strength protocols and progressions are okay to recycle for different people?
For, for a ton of people.
If like everyone needs to get a
stronger squat, do you think it's okay to give 20 people that pay you the same squat progression?
No. I don't think 20 people are the same if they're paying for custom programming. They have
different needs. They're not exactly the same. So there should be a... It's not an individual thing
if it's just a pay for... for us like a blog or if it's
a like something that you do you think it's okay that's one thing hey everyone needs to squat
everyone needs to get stronger you guys you guys all pay for this you all get this but if it's a
is it like the dollar amount where you think it switches for okay you pay me for individual
because I think that's a it's a weird thing to think about is it a hundred bucks a month that is 150 is it
200 250 like what's what's the number that makes it be like, okay, I cannot
Bring myself to use anything I use for anyone else on its individual calling it individual if you're paying me for
individual you're paying me to
structure your training days to best fit your schedule to
paying me to structure your training days to best fit your schedule, to put this here, make this longer, make this shorter, make this, this many reps and at this percentage
or this RPE, after this amount of volume of double unders, et cetera.
Like that's what you're paying for.
You're paying for that kind of, you're paying me to know that, Hey, you're, this gets flared
up from that exercise too much.
So we need to dose it in a particular amount, et cetera.
You can't do that if you're just copy and pasting. You just can't. So you're paying me to figure out how to best
maximize your training modified around your weaknesses and strengths and boo-boos and
things you enjoy and your work hours and when you want to rest and when you want to train
and the equipment you have available to you, etc. Like that's individual programming. When you just copy and paste it, you don't... What?
How do you do any of that? You know?
No, that was good. I actually wanted to do a whole show on that, but we did like 25 minutes,
so that was good.
All right. Well, I got to pee super bad and I just paid this guy fucking a billion dollars to write a CPA letter
For me, so I gotta review it
I'm a real business. I swear. I'm not laundering money in Cambodia
All right guys, thanks for watching yeah, so
