I have created an algorithm that can predict your "max sustainable pace" for sport-specific movements (like RMU, burpees, box jump overs, light TnG power snatches, etc). I'm really excited about the prospects of this... but I need to gather data. The tests are simple, Day-1 - 1min max rep of the movement Day-3 - 5min max rep of the movement For example Monday - 1min max reps RMU Wednesday - 5min max reps RMU These need to be done in a low-fatigue environment so before metcons / etc within training. All I need are those two data points and I can provide you with some really cool data that you can use inside training and competition. The movement selection doesn't matter as I am (fairly) confident that the formula I've come up with will predict sustainable rep-rates regardless of the movement. If anyone is interested in participating... let me know (1) what you're planning to test, and then (2) just upload your results directly here.

For those that are implementing conjugate like dynamic effort methods in training, how much attention do you pay to the accuracy of bar speed on dynamic effort day? I find it very hard for myself and some of my athletes to hit the 0.8 meters per second with 50% of 1RM without any accommodated resistance. Add bands or chains into the mix, and obviously, bar speed would slow down even more. Previously, I've used the accommodated resistance and dynamic effort work with success and never actually measured bar speed, but I would definitely be working a lot slower than 0.8 . My initial thoughts is paying that much attention to the velocity of the bar is likely majoring in the minors, and attention should probably be applied to velocity or speed loss over the course of the sets, or speed relative to the individual athlete's norm. But wondering if anyone has more experience with this and are we possibly missing the mark by not achieving a certain bar speed.

Hey everyone! I put together a nutrition guide for competitive functional fitness athletes covering hydration, intra-workout fueling, and carb cycling. Before I finalize it I want a few sets of eyes on it. Looking for 2 - 3 people willing to read through it and give honest feedback on: - Content - does anything feel off, missing, or unclear? - Design / readability - is it easy to follow, do the tables and layout make sense? - As an athlete or coach, would you find this useful? It's about a 15-20 min read. Drop a comment if you're down and I'll send it over. Thanks!

Hey team! I have an athlete competing at NCC coming up in just over a month. This will be their first big in-person event out of country. Competing away from home is definitely a challenge in itself, and so i am looking to hear from those with experience for recommendations on how to navigate that experience. My initial thoughts are around nutrition, considering the situation of living at a hotel vs at home, but welcome any other game day tips you want to share! Any tips and tricks that can make the situation less stressful on an athlete is greatly appreciated. Thanks again! @Haley Ruth
