It has become a well-accepted idea that breathwork can improve health, enhance athletic performance, and even help those with mental health issues. There are so many protocols and devices that it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. The idea of Respiratory Muscle Training is the foundation of them all, and it's what Breather-Fit does best. Like training any other body part in the gym, the stronger and more within your control the muscles responsible for your breathing are, the more capable you will be to use them in the way that suits you and your goals best. The Breather is the world's first drug-free, evidence-based Inspiratory/Expiratory combined Respiratory Muscle Training (cRMT) device, used by children and adults interested in health, wellness, and human performance.

How often should you be Training vs Competing? It seems that most of the time when we are in the gym, we see people competing with the person in the lane next to them. But is this the best way to grow and improve as an athlete? Of course the element of competition is important, and can lead to incredible moments, but how often should you be doing it? What is going to lead to the best adaptation, and what is going to reduce the chance of injury or overtraining? •••• This episode is sponsored by Assault Fitness.

This is a somewhat polarizing topic within the functional fitness space. We posted about it recently on our social media and got a large response from both sides of the aisle.

Our guest is Dr. Craig Heller, a professor of Biological Sciences and Human Biology at Stanford University. Dr. Heller made an incredible discovery several years ago surrounding the mechanism that drives fatigue and limits physical performance. Since then he has developed a tool that has allowed professional athletes, special operation soldiers, and a host of others to recover faster, and increase performance, almost like they were on steroids. Behind it all is the concept of localized temperature increase in the muscle, and how Dr. Heller has managed to cool it faster than any other.

Today's "movement focused" episode revolves around the skill of spotting. We believe that this truly is a skill that is all too often discredited or overlooked outright. As a coach, having the ability to spot someone correctly serves many purposes. Obviously creating a safe environment is primary, but even at higher levels, the ability to spot an athlete through a movement so that they can feel what their body is supposed to be doing with proper form is so incredibly important. Usually what we see is someone failing rep after rep of a movement while losing ideal body position and technique. This will only serve to engrain that poor technique. Learn to spot properly, and learn to use spotters liberally. Your technique and body will thank you for it. •••• This episode is SPONSORED by: https://victorygrips.com/ Victory grips are the standard in hand protection plus they just launched their new Gym Affiliate Program.  As affiliate owners, they understand the demands of gym owners.

We cover everything from the challenges of parenthood while having two professions, his training, the differences between the Games and Rogue, his involvement in the PFAA and the CrossFit season, and what his thoughts are on what separates the top athletes from the rest. This was a fun one. Enjoy!

Dave goes into depth regarding what the new plan entails, and what you will get out of it. Specifically, this plan will take an athlete who can Handstand Walk in a straight line and develop their skills such that they can walk in any direction, over and around any obstacle, and do it will more speed and control then before.

We welcome back today one of our favorite people, and wealth of knowledge when it comes to the nutritional sciences: Dr. Mike Molloy, owner and founder of M2 Performance Nutrition. Today we had a very specific topic that we wanted to discuss with Dr. Mike. Training for Performance vs. Longevity.  Recently we have become more and more interested in what it means to eat and train while keeping our future health in mind, not just whether we can write a faster time up on the board. We realized that this is a huge topic, with a lot of nuances to it. We delve into some of the low hanging fruit in this episode with Dr. Mike providing some actionable steps that people can take.

Megan was a world class athlete in maybe one of the most insane sports there is. Imagine flying head first down a sheet of ice at speeds of up to 80 MPH, on essentially a baking tray. That is the sport of Skelton, and Megan was one of the best in the world at it. There is no surprise that it takes a special mindset to subject yourself to such risk, and to do it at such a high level while managing the undeniable nerves that goes into such an event. Which is why once Megan retired from the sport of Skelton, she found herself drawn to the field of sports psychology, and mental performance. Today Megan is a reputable mental performance coach, and this is where a good portion of our conversation with her centered today.  Megan's IG: @thesavagemeglet •••• This episode is sponsored by Assault Fitness.

We recently had the pleasure of working with both Emma and Jack at a Power Monkey Course in their home town up in Canada. We already knew that both were incredible athletes, Emma having just been crowned the 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth at the 2023 CrossFit Games as an 18 year old, and Jack having put on a show winning the Olympic Total event, also as a young 21 year other athlete. What we didn't know, and since discovered about them was that they are both quite humble and willing to learn and be coached.  They didn't take an "elite athlete" Power Monkey course, they took the same foundational course that the rest of the gym members did. It is this attitude of always looking for ways to improve oneself, even if it means taking a couple of steps backwards to unlearn old ways and create new better habits that we feel sets the best athletes, and people, apart from the rest. We hope you enjoy this episode, we sure did. We can't wait until our paths cross with both Emma and Jack next.

We enjoyed having Brian on the podcast so much last time, that we invited him to come out and spend a week with us at our Power Monkey Camp this past September. And surprise! We loved having him there as well! Brian specifically requested to come back on the podcast because he wanted to talk with us further about his experience at Camp just a few short weeks ago. But what surprised us even more was just how in tune and connected he was with everything that we were doing that week...a feeling that we are sure you will notice when you hear him speak on this episode about his time in Tennessee with us.

If you are like us, we are big fans of Cody Anderson. Not only is he an excellent person, but being on the smaller side when it comes to CrossFit Games Athletes, Cody is capable of simply incredible lifts. When he was competing at the Games, he was at a bodyweight of 150-160 and could Clean and Jerk 320lbs on top of being known as the "King of the Muscle-Up" due to his impressive gymnastic skills. These days Cody is retired from CrossFit competition, but he has turned his sights toward The Tactical Games, which brings with it another set of challenges, where athletes must perform events centered around heart rate raising "Grunt Work" workouts while maintaining composure so that they can accurately discharge a firearm for score. Cody has a lot of things going on between competition, family, and running a successful gym. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down and chat with him.

We talk about what changes Brent implemented over the past year in his training to result in such a large improvement at the Games, as well as his feelings around the programming and how that potentially influenced the overall outcome.

Last week, a team of 12 Monkeys (Great movie by the way), descended upon Portland Oregon to tackle a legendary 200-mile relay race from Mt. Hood to the beautiful Oregon coast. They ran straight through the night. There were laughs, there were tears, there were...moments of delirium. But all in all, what transpired was an incredible 36 hours of overcoming physical and mental adversity, team building, and strengthening of already incredible bonds. This episode brings just a few of the 12 members on to chat a bit about the experience as a whole, and to highlight a few moments that stood out. The bottom line is that we ALL should periodically seek out opportunities to challenge ourselves both physically and mentally. It is a healthy act that will not only fortify your resolve but will elevate your happiness, confidence, and sense of purpose as well. •••••⁠ ⁠ This episode is brought to you by Bubs Naturals -⁠ ⁠ We are so thankful to have them as a partner of Power Monkey Camp this year - they brought the GOODS:⁠ ⁠ Collagen Powder, MCT Oil Powder, Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies, Coffee, and their newest electrolytes, Hydrate or Die,⁠ ⁠ It's packed with 2000mg of electrolytes which is 5 times more than other sports drinks, there's no added sugar, it's NON GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan...you name it, they've covered it with their powder. ⁠ ⁠ USE code "POWERMONKEY" for 20% off your first order of BUBS.⁠

Miguel is a fascinating athlete. His background was initially in gymnastics, where he was dominating. Eventually he grew tired of the rigid nature of the sport. Growing up in Brooklyn, Miquel found himself exposed to the world of Break-Dancing. With his foundation of gymnastics, he took to it and excelled immediately, earning him the nickname "Gravity" for his explosive moves on the dance floor. Now, as the Olympics are set to introduce Break-Dancing as one of the newest sports in the 2024 Paris Games, Miguel "Gravity" Rosario is posed to not only be one of the first Breakers ever to compete in the Olympics, but he could be one of only two athletes competing who hail from NYC, the birth place of Break-Dancing.

In this special pop-up episode, we are intentionally limiting the discussion to 10 minutes. We are doing so to celebrate Dave's accomplishment of finally chasing down his 8 year goal of holding a 10 minute long freestanding handstand! And we couldn't be more proud of him. This comes after Dave finally decided to put a structured plan in place to get him from her previous record of 9 minutes and 1 sec, to that 10 minute mark. He thought that this final minute was going to take him 6 months to a year to reach, but it came much quicker, as a reminder to us that consistency and intention in your training is everything.

Fresh off the week of the 2023 CrossFit Games, we have Dave, Mike, and our good friend Jason Leydon, owner of CF Milford and Conquer Athlete, here to chat about how the event went down. Specifically we get into conversations around what we did and did not like about the programming, as well as breaking down some of the technical aspects of the new movements introduced. Additionally, we highlight some standout performances, and who in particular really impressed us.

The 2023 CrossFit Games begins THIS week, and we are excited to have the man behind all of the event programming on to chat. Adrian Bozman is one of our favorites, and not just because he is incredibly talented at what he does, but he is also one of the best humans that we know. We are grateful that he took the time just before flying to Madison to chat with us about the upcoming Games. Of course we wanted to get all the details about what to expect this week, and obviously THAT was off the table, but we did chat about the new more aggressive cuts during competition that are being implemented this year, as well as what its like having THE Dave Castro back to lead the Games team. Mostly though we chatted about Adrians overall philosophy regarding programming and the mindset that he feels an athlete must have to reach their absolute best, not just at the Games, but in life. We were stoked to have Adrian on again, and we wish the entire Games team all the best this week as they undoubtably will be putting on another incredible event.
