Max answers the following 4 questions (time-stamped and listed below) taken from our Instagram and answers them against a 4-minute clock. Then at the end he'll answer as many questions as possible in 4 minutes rapid fire style.
00:59 - What’s your protocols when designing a layout with someone needs to work on a limitation/priority in their training. IE - someone that needs to work on their pulling endurance with c2b pull-ups, where do you start? How do you monitor repetitions in week, month, training cycle? What’s to little, or to much?
06:04 - How do you deal with an athlete who grossly misunderstands and/or overestimates their abilities or projected ceiling?
11:42 - Most of the TTT philosophy is science-driven, so do you recommend warm up/recovery strategies based on scientific literature, too? A lot of prehab and recovery tools out there just make people "feel better" with no proven physiological data (example: foam rolling before a workout)
16:21 - Ex- Soccer Player. Naturally good Aerobic base. Takes to skills/gymnastics/Olympic lifting pretty well but his clear weaknesses are strength/power (no real background in this type of training and is a naturally enduring athlete rather than a powerful one). If you had to come up with a timeline to build him a strong foundation in this sport where he is competing in RX wods confidently (he is willing to play the long term game and do whatever is programmed) how long does that take in this current day?
*RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS*
21:36 - Hey @trainingthinktank, it's clear that analytics is becoming a staple in major professional sports today. How do you see advanced analytics/data science being used in crossfit today and where would you like to see more analytics being used in the future?
22:53 - Do you think “Islands in the Stream” is overrated, underrated or properly rated?
23:08 - If you could pick one exercise to do for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
23:36 - What’s your process of taking a good athlete and turning them into a great one? At what level are you willing to work with athletes to mold them into regionals and games athletes?
24:21 - Accessory work, assuming we do a strength piece, metcon, gymnastic piece, aerobic/mono piece most days, when how and why would we incorporate accessory stuff? Should we take out some other pieces to accommodate it? Or add to a current written program for it? Especially if there’s a weakness that needs to be focused on. Assuming the program covers it all for the generalist, but not exactly for those weak in one specific area.
26:17 - What do you consider a “real” good crossfit athlete
26:33 - Do u have experience with athletes who struggle with breathing through the nose during workouts due to a constant runny nose?
27:50 - Is it true that @life_0f_peimade you cry when you got physiological testing done ? Follow up question: is it true that Justin Timberlake wrote the 2002 pop hit 'cry me a river' in commemoration of said event ?
28:27 - Would you use MAF(maximum aerobic function) in order to develop an athlete's aerobic base? If so would you use MAF on both cyclical and mixed modal training? Can you please elaborate on the benefits (or not) of low intensity training for elite athletes? Thanks a lot
29:16 - Have y’all ever thought of doing a general program for the masses?
29:22 - Is a hot dog a sandwich?
29:29 - Would you rather fight 100 duck sized @tmayer18 or 1 horse sized @tmayer18 ?
