HillerCast

The discussion centers on the role of Zone 2 training in CrossFit, highlighting the debate about whether low-intensity cardio is necessary for improving performance. While Zone 2 helps build an aerobic base and aids recovery, critics argue it's less effective for the high-intensity, fast-twitch muscle demands of CrossFit. Athletes with less cardio experience may benefit from Zone 2, but others with strong aerobic foundations should focus more on explosive strength training. Additional topics include the importance of addressing weaknesses, balancing cardio with strength, weight loss benefits of Zone 2, and common awkward moments experienced by new CrossFitters.

Key points covered include:The origins of the "CBG" idea, connected to the fitness world and a friend named Taylor.A debate about sugar's role in diet, where Justin emphasizes calories in, calories out as the main factor in weight management, while Andrew leans more towards the negative impact of sugar itself, particularly in relation to diseases like cancer.They touch on the CrossFit nutrition philosophy and how it is perceived by the general population and athletes, with a focus on moderation, nutrient density, and caloric intake.They also explore concepts of nutritional periodization, the role of protein in weight loss and muscle retention, and how athletes need to balance their diets according to their training cycles.There is also a discussion about Reddit criticisms of CBG and how misunderstandings on social media can affect public perception.Toward the end, Justin encourages people to focus on balanced nutrition and offers information about his nutrition coaching services.The conversation is a mix of personal anecdotes, professional opinions on nutrition and fitness, and differing views on the impact of sugar in diets.

Phil Toon came to his Instagram story with an explaination of his failed drug test at the 2022 Granite Games. I read it and had my own opinion. I wanted to do more. So I reached out to Dr D. I just recently met Dr. D on an episode of the Sevan Podcast. With his help we get a better understanding of what is happening with Phil Toon's failed Druge Test.Hope you enjoy-Coach Andy#Crossfit #fitness #crossfitgames

https://andrewhiller.wodify.com/OnlineSalesPortal/Home.aspxLink to my online programRemember Reddit. You wanted this.I just made a video on reddit letting all of them know that if it were not for them, there would not be this. That is true. For as long as I have been doing this I have not wanted to talk about my program. I did not want people to think that I was doing this to make a quick buck. Programming and my workouts are however something that I am very proud of. I have been doing it for ten +years  and I really enjoy it. I will be joined by Travis Bellinghausen who has been remotely doing the program for 2 months and Natalie Heading who has been working with me for about 7 years. I hope that you can get a great persepective of everything from the two of them.

I have been going on tirades on Instagram and Facebook. So I figured I could extend that to my Podcast. This was completely off the cuff. No notes, no nothing. So I did my best to keep it linear and to the point. Topics covered include...General warm upExample warm up for a dayWarm up toolsStretching methods, times and protocols.Minor language lol

My attempt at trying to explain how training solo is as good, if not beter than, training with others. This was prompted by a text message I recieved about motivation lacking in a solo training enviornment, and how I have alway looked at my own solo training. Examples include : those who are begginers, well versed in fitness, and competitive athletes.

Welcome my first guest!I have know Aldo for about 5 years now. I wanted to have hime on the show because he was the FIRST person to question me about me program. So I figured it would only be fitting that he be the first person to talk with about what it is I love to do the most!I hope you enjoy what is also the first episode that breaks the 1 HOUR MARK!!!!

Know what you are capable of....-Genetic Limit-Sports history-Time to work?-Winningness to work?Realistic vs unrealistic-Body Anthropotetrics-Know what it is that you CAN do-Know as much about yourself (and others) as possible-Don't be afraid to push (be stupid)Between the ears-When push comes to shove, you have to get it done-All the talent, none of the guts-Are you a mental midget?

Yes i missed the boat on this one, but I still wanted to share my thoughts on the whole thing!What the Open does....First Real Open in 2 years1,2,3,4Workout 1 being first vs Workout 4 being first??

Many do not know what they really want, which means you do not know how to get there. Many BELIEVE they know how to get there, but are often misled, and this is NOT YOUR FAULT.The answer is always easy (Almost as easy as how to make your dog lose weight)

Myself just talking for a minute to see how everything goes. That is, before I actually dive head first into this thing.
