Machete Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 On 9/3/2016 at 2:24 PM, Kishi said: Also, yeah man, that short WOD-style training just doesn't have the carryover to longer stuff that they like to pretend it does. It really doesn't. I remember, I used to train with that kind of modality a lot, and then I ended up taking a job over Christmas holidays working for UPS. I had to load trucks for hours and hours, and let me tell you: that short style of training did nothing to save me. Yeah, before I became familiar with Joel Jamieson I was a huge Ross Enamait fan and HIIT nazi. Bought into all the "Tabata" BS. I killed most Sherdog conditioning challenges, and could swarm someone for three rounds. I was also constantly sympathetic-dominant with a resting heart rate of 80, which made me useless later in the Army because of a lack of cardiac output. Haha On 9/4/2016 at 4:19 AM, DarK_RaideR said: I get it. A while back when I read the articles for CF Level 1 certification and the part about building a workout talks about 3 categories of exercises (metcon, lifting, gymnastics) and 3 ways of setting up a WOD: First option has something from all three and is basically an AMRAP, second is a mix of 2 categories for time and the third is single focus taking it low and slow. This last one means something like a 10k run for metcon or a slow build up to a 1RM for one of your lifts or spending the entire workout trying to master a gymnastics skill. Obviously, mass consumption CF boxes won't really bother with that last option, unless it's memorial day doing Murph (which doesn't even happen round these parts). This is what I'm having trouble with right now. I'm training for a marathon on January while maintaining some BJJ and CrossFit, and Brian MacKenzie's old CrossFit Endurance stuff seems to be all about the intervals. That camp seems to believe the exact opposite of what Alex Viada does in regards to what "junk miles" actually are. I'm deliberating whether I should log the easy miles in and just practice my Weightlifting and Gymnastics moves, keeping the overall intensity low; or incorporate running into my WODs and keep the training density up. (Of course regardless I'm consulting with the Scouts to learn how to run.) 3 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment

I still think Enamait's got good stuff to say, but in terms of carryover into the real world, it's been Pavel and Dan John for me. I remember going to help some friends of mine move, and there was a cosplayer there who trains like a HIIT nazi. She got results, but she spent like a good hour or so kvetching about how sore and tired she was. And here I was, working like a Soviet, light and nimble and strong and unwavering. With no words of complaint. Which was really cool. I actually felt kind of sorry for her afterward. 2 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE!

Adulting: Write the finale for last round's Ranger mini challenge Send a notification mail to a friend Send my CV to a few job posts HWA: New episode! Music Blog: Nnnnnngh Lucha Underground: 19/26 episodes of Season 2 watched. 14 hours ago, Kishi said: You know, I hadn't read HWA until you asked. I just checked out the most recent episode... and now I'm wondering what I've been doing with my life. This thing needs the freaking comic treatment. Get Udon on the phone for this one! Glad to know someone's reading it, let alone liking it! Had to google Udon though. Considering the characters and flashy moves, it would indeed make for a nice comic. Or an anime even. Take the time to read through the entire thing (while the episode archive is still small ), I'll be bold enough to say there's some interesting storylines and character development going on as time went by. 8 hours ago, sarakingdom said: Your martial arts school opened! Yaaaay! How's it feeling, aside from conditioning issues? Pretty good, actually. You can read most of my Muay Thai ramblings on my Battle Log (link in my signature) but here's the latest entry for your convenience: "After a lot of conditioning work, we did clinching drills. Starting from controlling the back of the opponent's head, we progressed into escaping from being controlled, then added a side knee shot. It all amounted into a full on contest, which included keeping our elbows together to prevent opponents from coming in and grappling the back of our head. Pretty intense, even when I mixed it up with female athletes who kept asking me to tone it down a bit. We finished it off with punchbag conditioning, throwing rapid fire knees to the bag. Fun fact 1: What made everything harder than it sounds is the stance. We're supposed to be standing on the balls of our feet, ankles never touching down. This is a balance issue but also destroys the calves in the long run. Fun fact 2: I had seen others using their own jump ropes, so I brought mine too. Teacher took it away, saying it's "for speed" and handed me another instead that looked like a bullrope. Oh well, it's not like I'm trying to do double unders here. Pacing and high jumps it is, then." 7 Quote Lvl 52 Ranger Current Challenge Tracker Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 That was a lot of D_R catching up but i'm here! Just watched my first episode of Mr Robot (on regular TV) yesterday. Seems like i have to go hunting . Also started to watch Quantico (also on TV). With this talk about CF not being good for longer conditioning my RangerBrain™ kicked into gear. But since it's still on full throttle i will just keep it to myself for now, otherwise you would just end up with a long hard to follow post 2 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
DarK_RaideR Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Feel free to ramble @mr_willes, we've entered the 3rd week of the challenge and this thing is only 2 pages long. This would never happen on the Ranger side of the boards I'm not saying CF is bad for longer conditioning, I'm saying its commercial version you can get on most boxes is, because it has to get crammed into 1 hour classes. If you have the luxury of doing your extra stuff on the side or doing longer workouts like they do at the CF Games (i.e. this year's trail run or Murph) it's all good. P.S. I'm considering doing the blog post for HWA's "Pay per view" like I used to do the posts during my HWA challenge on NF; full blown dialogue, announcers calling the moves play-by-play and so on. It'll take a lot more work, but it'll be nice. I'd rather do it every now and then for a PPV than on a daily basis for my challenge. 3 Quote Lvl 52 Ranger Current Challenge Tracker Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 I was just thinking that i want to reboot some Starting Strength till the end of the year and really focus on that (goal is to get as close to RX'ing WODs when i start CF). Which means the running will probably be neglected. At the start of 2017 i'm gonna go CF and will see how that will affect my lifting at home, but i promised my StrongViking friends that next year we will do a couple of Beasts (12 Miles) that will take me somewhere between 3 and 4 hours. So if CF wont fulfill the the longer conditioning i need to do that next to the CF and lifting i do at home, and, well ... can i buy a couple of days extra a week, like one between monday and tuesday, one between wednesday and thursday, and one between saturday and sunday. That would help me out a lot! That way i can keep on doing 3 times lifting, 2 days crosffit, 2 days (trail)running, and have some leftover rest/social/family/get-stuff-done days! How the hell am i gonna cram all that into a 7 day week. Maybe i do have to do some cardio in the early morning, but i already leave for work at 06:20 am. And being home at 05:30 pm i can only do one workout a day, except maybe on friday when i have the day off from work, but i also need to get stuff done at home. Saturdaymorning is occupied by taking the Dog to agility. Sunday is usually a family day, where i occasionally get a run in in the morning. 2 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
