Interesting. I'll turn 70 next month and certainly don't think I'm only, say, five years away from "not doing this anymore." I don't do competitive Crossfit, in fact, I don't actually do Crossfit. I do Hyrox and Deka Fit though, and I rock climb (both gym and outdoors) and am thinking about joining a box. But I see no end in sight.
No end in sight!!!
I hope I can say something like that in my 70‘s.
@@JasonGrubb Yes, you mentioned that you're 48 and talked about wanting to deep going for the next 20 or 25 years. I'm right in the middle of where that would put you, so I wanted to make the point that, even at such an advanced age, you can still keep up the pursuit!
Thanks Jason. This 55 year old "average CF Joe" looks forward to and appreciates your content from a masters perspective. Best of luck this year and we will cheering for you....
Wow, thanks!
the shortest distance between you and your goals is consistency. I'll take that quote to heart tyvm
Truth!
Love it Champ! One thing I've adopted is if I feel a tweak in something ill first slow down to see if its fatigue. If there is still a tweak I significantly drop weight and continue cautiously. If dropping weight doesn't help, I rest/recover for a few days. Ive avoided quitting too early and getting hurt this way 3 years in, going to 100!
💯
As usual a great video with lots of tips and tricks. Thanks Jason... 😊
You Bet!!
I've been doing Crossfit 2 years now and I have come miles from when I started but I still struggle with fine tuning my diet and I can tell if definitely has an impact on my endurance. I was 44 when I started Crossfit so I was a little late to the party but I have made great progress so far and I'm always making improvements in technique, diet and recovery. I find all your videos very helpful especially since you are my age. Training tips from people half my age aren't always applicable. You're killing it, maybe someday I'll be close to your level.
🙌 - with consistency, you'll get there!!
Always good tips to follow and finally always common sense
Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Love your videos, no B.S. no lame silly crap just great explanation and knowledge.
..also now i dobr feel so bad after doing crossfit for 2 months and not being able to kip consistently or correctly..or do myske ups after just a bit of practice. I know its ok im only here for myself. Im 41 and have gotten ok at rope climbs right off the bat. Now just trying to find the best shoes for that...
The runway is long... take your time!
I wish I would have listened to my body more as well as understood that I was not eating enough food. I started CF in 2013 when I was 43. I went to class all the time, hit PRs, got shredded and felt like I was the fittest I had ever been in my life. But….my body was always hurting. Like everything…wrists, ankles, quads, shoulders. I kept going until I eventually got hurt doing deadlifts, and it took me out for almost a year. Now, I listen to my body more, and pay attention to my nutrition more. I still have a hard time with carbs not being the enemy. Sleep is a big issue for me too….not enough of it.
Isn't it crazy? Our bodies just don't work without enough food, sleep and recovery. Yeah... we get shredded, but live in pain.
That‘s basically the story of every ambitious crossfitter including me. Almost one to one. Also a sumodeadlift took me out. Now I do strenght/oly in one session and cardio/metcons in the other. This is way better for adaptation and recovery.
Thomas Delauer just had great video on carbs for performance. Long story short, years of study’s can’t prove carbs helped strength at all but an increase in fuel obviously does. I choose to keep my carbs low to help with inflammation and pain. The cost of being older I guess. Thx Jason. Good stuff.
@@JasonGrubb It is, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone LOL
Any quick tips for recovery or knowing when to rest vs when to keep pushing?
Thanks for the inspiration!
That's very tough. I would say that you have to just listen to your body. Feel like crap?? Go RPE 7 or 8 on a specific training day, or just take a walk instead. However, I often don't feel 100%, so I just try to do my best with each day. You should, however, make sure your bases are covered. Eat enough food to support your activity. Get enough sleep. Have regular rest days and de-load weeks. Embrace cold exposure (via icebarrel.com/jasongrubb). Make sure you're doing all the right things.
Hey Jason, Thank you for the video. I comment often on your videos as they are great, especially for me, a master's athlete too. Tip 5 is interesting because I'm still new to CF (I'll be a yr next month) and I love the other members, but I feel at times our programming is brutal. I am def interested in your Bolder training but I wish I could do in a box with others. The community around me pushes me to go better and go harder. Thoughts on this? Rooting for you during the Master's CF games.
At some point soon… Will provide programming for affiliates
Great info! Im curious to know more about the salt thing though. Im conflicted between usual health recommendations, and what you are recommending. I dont know how much I sweat, and how much salt I lose with it. Would be be interesting to figure that out.
I'm even at 5,000-7,000mg of salt a day in the winter (less sweat)
You should read "The Salt Fix". The sugar industry put the "salt is bad" thought in the USA's minds
Amazing book.
Jason great advice and life lessons! As someone who has been grinding away on individual training as a 39-year-old, I find your opinion on Masters athlete training programs intriguing! Do you happen to offer a trial of your programming or a week-long template that shows what your profiles are like? Thanks for doing what you do for us! Keep crushing it!
Sure do... get a free week here programs.btwb.com/bolderathlete/join
@@JasonGrubb Thank you!
How do your programs help us learn/improve skills? Ex. Squat snatch, muscle ups, handstand pushups/walks, etc?
I don't have specific cycles or accessory programs build for specific skills yet... but they're coming.
So true. You need salt. The american heart association admitted that their salt recommendation was purposefully put too low because they thought people would reduce but never meet it
Geeeeeezzz.
I wished I knew that I shouldn‘t go all out every day. Not every day is a metcon day. Now there is a strenght or oly session in the morning and a cardio/metcon one at least 6 hours later. This actually skyrocketed adaptation and recovery. The classic class session of 20 minutes lifting and 8-20 minutes metcon (performed every day) just leads to exhaustion and stagnation after a couple of years. But it‘s still the best way for beginners.
100% agree!!!
Did you improve your gymnastics capacity and strength in oly lifts just by doing a normal cf program? Or you change some of it dpending on the season?
During the beginning... yes. Oly and gymnastics improved by just doing class workouts. The first year... every day is a new PR. Then as my training age progressed... I had to specifically work on lifting and gymnastics in addition to the daily workout to begin to get better at those elements.
Jason, I’m curious which carb sources you lean on these days to optimize performance. Also, do you completely avoid refined sugar?
I don't completely avoid sugar, but I minimize it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks!
Do you have any videos on what u eat daily?
I do!!! Head to my channel - there's a few. youtube.com/@JasonGrubb
Have you ever had a meniscus pain or tear or anything?
I've had meniscus pain before. Lot's of foam rolling and mobility above and below the knee joint helped.
👏👏👏👏
💪
Low potassium is a bigger reason for high blood pressure than high salt
True!
Crazy how caloric needs are different. Im probably training much less than you, but need about 4000 calories at a bodyweight of only 160 lbs.
4000 is a big number. What do you do?
Agree @letransformateur6477 you must put in a ton of work. That's a big surplus.
Jason, I’m curious which carb sources you lean on these days to optimize performance. Also, do you completely avoid refined sugar?
White rice! Not much sugar at all!!
@@JasonGrubb And still around 300 g or so per day of carbs total? I’ve just always found it interesting the CrossFit recommends a higher fat intake than most other “diets.”
