Description

We're joined by our good friend Cole Sager to tackle some of your questions this week! We start by discussing whether Masters athletes, particularly women, can continue to lift heavy and compete in CrossFit well into their sixties, and how to navigate that intelligently. We then dive into the differences between central nervous system fatigue and muscular fatigue, exploring how to identify and address each. Our Workout this week is the value of the CrossFit Open for non-competitive CrossFitters - is it the best test of fitness, or are there better ways to assess our progress? ❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS ? Get all the benefits of a regular sauna from the comfort of your own home with the BON CHARGE infrared sauna blanket, helping you burn calories, detoxify, improve circulation, and relax your mind and body for better sleep and reduced stress.
