Hey team, Is anyone currently regularly using VBT prescriptions with remote clients via an app such as METRICvbt or Qwik? I use enode in my gym regularly with clients and want to expand the systems to more remote clients and I am curious if anyone else has followed suit. Personally i'd most likely just take the hit for the subscription cost and allow clients access to the "team". My questions are: Does anyone here regularly use software only based VBT tools. (which one) If yes do your clients utilise them and do you feel they see it as a value add or pain in the ass What use cases do you use VBT regularly or irregularly with your clients

I'm curious as to what methods or intentions people have used to help athletes improve their machine paces in metcons. Assuming the athlete can go long and sustain on a machine, and can sprint on a machine, and can do intervals on a machine, how do you then help them translate those paces to mixed fatigue work? My idea is that the required machine paces to be competitive in the sport are not unknown variables. We can watch back footage of echo bike repeat workouts, row cal workouts etc and see the speeds of athletes getting on and off the machine. If a workout has hang power snatch, toes to bar, echo bike, and the athlete is wonderful with their transitions and sets for the hang power snatch and toes to bar, shouldn't you just prescribe the bike pace? So in your notes you would dictate bike pace to be 75rpm minimum, get to pace within 6 seconds of starting the bike. What about for someone that can handle the pace, but not for the full volume? I did a workout the other day that involved intervals of row calorie, handstand walk, and power cleans. I need to improve my row speed in metcon style like that, so I dropped the calories from 20 to 15, but I my intention was that I had to row those 15 calories above 1400 cal/hr. I will plan to be able to eat more and more volume at a higher pace like this over time, which will be how I know that I am improving my fitness here. What do you all think?

A few weeks ago I did a podcast on BFR with my good friend Ed Haynes. We covered a lot of the main protocols that I use with my athletes - if you’re interested you can check it out here. https://youtu.be/6cpM8CVwHlQ?si=FOScsQ413OUfWIOJ

I've never really had a brand or name attached to my services, and lately I've been drawn to make that shift to formalize my services and make advertisement a little easier. I've had a few simple ideas run through my head and i thought maybe i could use the community here to help decide what name will stick! Feel free to comment with any suggestions!

I’m curious about what everyone’s focus is post QF? Athletes: if you’re not moving on to semifinals - what is your plan for the “off season”? Will you compete this year in some in-person events? Dabble in Hyrox? ATHX? Xenom?! (The name 😂) Coaches: what are you preparing your athletes for? What is the primary training focus for your clients as you shift into the off season?
