Coaching Conversations EP4 - Zone 2 is Over rated
This week Kyle and I started off our conversation talking about the parallels between what Grant House had to say on last weeks Office Hours and what my general disposition is towards run training in the CrossFit space. From there we touch a number of different topics including - Some of the biggest adjustments we have made to our coaching processes - How we use med ball throws and jumps/plyos to develop gymnastics - Why writing a stand alone conditioning session without context isn't good enough Full episode can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6KuXNkFTkDOc0VPBmiLJ4v?si=E7HPvwWTRjWzWVVBFvRnZA Please ask questions, challenge ideas or post thoughts that you had while listening to this. We all learn through discourse

@Ryne Sullivan what would you suggest in place of zone-2 runs for a “power biased” CF athlete?

@Ryne Sullivan good question I was thinking more base building for off season - but I’m curious how you’d structure that or if you’d even do zone-2 work there?
Office Hours w/ Pro Swimmer Grant House Posted!
Office Hours from Thursday is up and posted. For all my clients, this is definitely worth a full watch when you have some time. We covered a ton of topics ranging from the paradigm shift in swim training from high volume --> intentional technical volume (technical work replacing a lot of zone-2 slop), and how we're seeing a similar shift at some level in competitive functional fitness to the biggest things that CrossFitters looking to improve their swimming can do. Clip attached and link below! https://www.skool.com/ruth-performance-lab-1681/classroom/e28b5e16?md=cda22a94b832460ab0feb948c6ff8586

Fix for hip drive in the kipping HSPU
I filmed this video for some clients today to help them with fixing the tuck position of their kipping HSPU. There are a few keys to having powerful hip drive but building strength in this style of tuck will solve a lot of them as it pertains to the kipping HSPU.

(1) This is an awesome explanation video. I have needed something like this to share with clients for a long time. I feel like you explain the kip mechanics extremely well here. (2) I've never seen the straight-leg kip version used for wall-supported k.HSPU, only ever freestanding... that is a really creative way to teach the HIP drive portion of the k.HSPU. Thanks for sharing this dude, this was awesome!
Guest for Office Hours Tomorrow
Tomorrow, professional swimmer and Team USA athlete Grant House will join us for office hours! Grant is a three-time Olympic Trials qualifier, Junior World Champion, World University Games gold medalist, World Cup medalist, and former Arizona State standout who helped ASU win its first Pac-12 championship and finish second at the NCAA Championships. We’ll talk all things swimming, from technique and training to performance at the highest level. Come ready with your questions and we'll dig in!

Programming Software?
Which software do you use writing programmings for your clients? I am using TrueCoach at the moment. But thinking to change to FTRR Client, maybe. Happy to hear your experiences. Thank You!

I've been using CoachRX for two years. I think the client side of the app is pretty awesome and all of my athletes considered it to bo an upgrade once we switched over. They've added some features that I've requested on the program design side over the last few months that have been incredibly helpful to my workflow including -ability to save conditioning sessions / creating a conditioning library -ability to connect conditioning sessions to metrics -ability to copy "blocks" of training from one day to another (rather than just a full day) I do NOT like their template or long-term planner system at all, so I built my own as a chrome extension that lives alongside coachRX (see my screen cap). The other thing I didn't like (and FITRR is worse with this) was that I couldn't see the results for the previous week while I was programming, so I added a floating results window to the chrome extension that shows me any previous session and I can move it around as needed. There is a new piece of software that I'm actually intersted in called CoachLogix that has even better integrated video review systems + the ability to view a week across the screen OR view a single DAY across weeks (super helpful for building progressions). But I'm not convinced I want to change software packages yet since I have built the functionalities I didn't have for CRX.
