Newbie here . Started this week at the age of 44😬. So far I’ve only done my first 3 intro classes but my calves and traps are already super sore . These videos are extremely helpful for those of us trying CrossFit for the very first time . Thanks a lot !

As the "Old Guy" at the gym, I found this extremely helpful! I never get enough sleep. Appreciate the video!

[@timmcdowell3097]

Great video and take away for me is that I need to get a better sleep pattern and also not feel so guilty about eating heaps after training hey

CJ is going to be a KZbin rockstar!

[@karinan208]

So informative. I didn't know that binge sleeping has little value - definitely learned that and will try to get more consistent sleep (going down and getting up at the same time). Thank you for sharing!

[@WODprep]

Glad it helped!

I'm adding collagen and magnesium - and keep my sleep :)

[@luisalbertoperez-leonsosa8072]

Gracias por los aportes, muy buen video, ahora a ponerlos en práctica 😎👍

I never understood how people can train crossfit more than 3x a week.. my sleep is on point but it takes me 2 days minimum to not feel so beat up after the workout. Needless to say, I put a 100% in every workout

[@L4verdz]

Human Body is a fantastic machine that will always amazes me. I use to think like you. Nowadays, I train crossfit Mayhem athlete program so it’s 5x 2 hours a week. I am less sore than when I first started. Crossfit games atletes trains 10x per week 2+ hours (2 sessions of 2 hours per day) and they manage to pull it off.

[@jacobtimbers]

umm... It's called steroids my dude. Some of the pros work out twice per day, 2-3 hour sessions and do that 6 times per week. This is not humanly possible without PEDs. But hey, we can pretend protein powder, creatine, stretching and good sleep is all it takes! That works too!!

[@onaraider2007]

I am like you

[@spencerandjulie]

How much collagen and magnesium is recommended?

[@jowadleigh7878]

Good question!

[@myimanmontessori2009]

What about rest days? When do you take one if you train at CrossFit regularly? Also should your rest days still be active?

[@WODprep]

I tend to recommend 2 rest days per week, with light activity like walking!

[@jasnanovak8429]

Great video 👍

[@WODprep]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@marysmetalhealth]

Gotta improve my sleep quality - I'm okay (most of the time) on quantity, but I don't sleep deeply.

[@ParzivalMcflyGaming]

For someone looking to develop into game ready athleticism and increasing workload capacity to 2-a-day workouts, 6 days a week, (WoD programming paired with bodybuilding programming) what’s your recommendations on recovery days?

[@RiPnShtUp]

Let me save some people some time if they happen to come across this comment before you watch the video. 1. Passive modalities ie stretching and rolling. While not aiding in recovery in a major way, it will aid in a mental recovery as you do not want to feel like you have to miss a training day. In that I disagree how dismissive they are to these things as your mental is essentially what’s going to get you there. 2. Supplements. Agreed. I would go as far as to say you don’t need them if you are eating a well balanced diet. Essentially don’t fill your body with inflammatory shit and you’ll feel good. Also. They mention collagen. Don’t take that stuff. It has shown little to no benefit and your body produces collagen naturally anyway. I’m not going to cite anything as nobody here did, but you can get this from plants. You don’t need to eat “nose to tail.” Fucking gross. 3. Like I said before, don’t put inflammatory shit in your body and you will feel better and yes, drink a ton of water. I have gone through wods dehydrated and that shit is terrible. I use these shitty opportunities to test myself to find a silver lining. Don’t do it. Further, these are not nutritionists here. Not one of them. They are PT’s. Yes they have Dr in front of their names, but don’t get confused here. Nutritionfacts.org. This man literally dedicates his life to the most current science available. 4. Training. Meh. Yeah you should train smarter. Nothing ground breaking here. I would say be honest with yourself in regards to your strengths weakness and goals. Otherwise, you will get hurt pushing too hard. 5. Duh. Sleep more. Circling back to the diet and nutrition and that collagen BS. These are not nutritionists. Actual medical Drs who treat patient health on the daily take next to no nutrition courses in or after they graduate. They are bro sciencing like the rest of them. 😊

is age and genetics a factor?

[@Toni_hasplovic]

age yes genetic maybe a little bit

[@Toni_hasplovic]

but no relevant

[@coreyg1244]

👍 gold 🤓

[@fishngiggles5272]

I felt constantly tired and depressed after CrossFit magnesium seems to help

[@Keno_psia]

Great!

[@viking0116]

Definitely need more sleep!

[@hunter6431]

cold showers help a ton

[@apriletto]

Could it be good,if you want to practise everyday,just put some low load workout?I mean, use less weight,just not to overstress junctions and muscles!

[@WODprep]

Honestly, I'd recommend just taking the rest days (or do some light activity like a walk or bike). If you really wanted to practice some skill work, maybe use a PVC pipe, but really - 5 days per week should be plenty!

[@apriletto]

@@WODprep i found 4 days a week could be suitable for me.The big stress is on consecutives days!It seems the good deal could be mon,wed,fri,sat.😉

Nutrition

[@nataliebarry4462]

Highly disagree with massage not doing much for the body , deep tissue massage and fascial work is so benifitial to the body and recovery! Heck I've seen it aid in people's strength! And it is scientifically backed

[@relaxinstation2329]

i would just say that carbs are not essential, at all whatsoever.

[@luciferloosecanon8206]
