Grip Strength-Endurance
Hello Everyone! Just wanted to ask how would you go about increasing someone (with small hands) grip capacity, specifically towards barbells and dumbbells. What are some of your favorite protocols/methods? Do you focus on maximal grip strength as well? Thanks in advance!

Kyle, can you share more about what drove that shift in your approach? And will add a follow-up question to @Francesco Chemello's, if I can - how do you integrate grip work without overtaxing already-oft-overtaxed elbows? Especially for masters athletes?

Coaching Conversations EP12 - The Less Time You Have, the More Specific Your Training Has to Be
"The less time you have, the more specificity is required. The more time you have, the more you can broaden what you're doing." A lot of my clients are going from two 90-minute sessions a day to 60 minutes, and they still want to train like athletes. Ryne Sullivan and I went through what changes when that athlete gets five 60-minute sessions a week. The rest of it: - Why a high training age is an advantage when time gets short - The skill work I cut first for time-limited CrossFitters - Two supersets that don't fight each other, and the pairing Ryne never uses in a strength phase - Where Ryne and I disagree on adding intense breathing to strength days - Why two 45-minute sessions beat one 90 - What "you have to earn the right for it to be metabolic" means for your training - How Jake Berman won a 200 wall ball workout doing smaller sets Full episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PoeZmyVVJ59itwKV9nixA Written recap with the workouts: https://kyleruthcoaching.com/fieldnotes/training-with-limited-time Two corrections from the episode: Fran is thrusters and pull-ups (I said chest to bar), and Elizabeth is cleans, not power cleans. Questions and pushback in the comments. If there is a topic you want us to cover, put it here.

appreciated this episode so much! great practical stuff and such a good window into how to adjust approach to maximize athletes' individual circumstances. and how to look at constraints (e.g., time) as opportunities - vs. limits to overcome. thanks, guys!

3 Tips for Better Legless RC
Filmed these on a whim today - I’ve got a lot of athletes prepping for the Games / live events right now so legless are a big component of training. This doesn’t cover the kip touch or basics of leg drive … just 3 things to implement that make I’ve found make a difference. https://youtu.be/pm_wqSQTdj0?is=Yt77hPl6LpOn8tTY

@Kyle Ruth Curious, if you'd be comfortable sharing! Watching Alexis's Semis videos -- do you prefer as a coach to *not* judge your own athlete during qualifiers? More to be gained coaching, assessing, etc, vs. being the one to judge reps?

@Kyle Ruth great insight -- much appreciated and sounds like more coaches should consider taking the same approach!

Qualifier filming advice?
Hey friends! Wondering if anyone can share go-to best practices for filming qualifier workouts. New to this, and daunted by the possibility of a good performance being overridden by a shoddy video if I don't set up properly. PS Also, any favorite (and affordable) tripod recommendations, if it's worth investing in one?

@Kyle Ruth Indeed - taking note! And speaking of getting good at it... guess who whiffed big-time yesterday and forgot to capture the floor judge on-camera in Workout 1? Redo coming up Monday...!
