Re: Weeks off

Might just mean that you need the rest. Constant consistent training causes microtears and fatigue that should be given their due time to heal.

I like taking a full two weeks off every 3-4 months in addition to Easy weeks. Might do a little easy activity like hiking or swimming at the beach.

Re: How many HIC

The way I understand it is 2-4 HICs per week during Black. Use a template that does the thinking for you, or adjust within those numbers to fit your training goals.

Re: GC 9 question

And by work capacity I mean they're like Crossfit WODs. If not explicitly stated then you do GCs for time, i.e. get through the workout as quickly as you can.

Re: GC 9 question

I'm not sure what you don't understand...sprint 100meters 10 times. There's no RI because it's work capacity. Walk back to start and sprint, or rest briefly until you're ready to go again. No need to overthink it.

Re: Making your own GC session

Magic 50 is my favorite Ross workout hands down, but with kettlebells instead of dumbbells.

Re: Working sets

I do the same circuit style thing after reading KB's recommendation. I can usually get away with it because I use the gym at work which isn't super busy. Sometimes I'll back-n-forth between squat & bench, or squat & WPU depending on what's open. Then I finish off with whatever 3rd exercise i...

Re: First Foot-Pursuit Post TB

Love hearing this. I'm just itching for a foot pursuit since starting TB. I guess my only relatable experience so far was kicking in a door my trainee was unable to get. Once inside we found out it was braced by a 2x4. Damn I hate that feeling when the door bounces in place. Yep....instead of the b...
