Good morning, PT on Ice Daily Show. Welcome to the PT on Ice Daily Show and the best day of the Fitness Athlete Division of the Institute of Clinical Excellence. Super happy to be with you here this Friday morning. fitness athlete footwear. And that's a little teaser there. Hopefully you get excited for that. Before I start jumping though, I want to say anybody headed to Reno, Nevada, in Reno, Nevada for the ice sampler, have an awesome time. Have an epic time. A little bit of FOMO not being able to be there, but hope you all have a wonderful time. Take so much out of that weekend. It's such a great weekend. So much to learn. So many to learn from. And I've done this topic in the past. I've talked about my shoe recommendations for fitness athletes, whether it be the Rad One Trainer, the Strike Movement Trainer, the Nano, the Metcon. I've gone deep dive almost too long into episodes with that in the past. And today's actually a more of a, let's call it a response, a response PT on this episode, discussing why we don't, or why I don't personally recommend barefoot in the fitness athlete, whether it's the level one or the live course, we get asked, hey, what are your thoughts on barefoot shoes? Or why aren't you recommending minimalist shoes to allow the foot and the ankle to naturally do what the foot and ankle should be able to do? And this is where we're going to dive into, right? This is the topic I'm discussing because we know there's different shoes out there, right? I have somewhere in front of me right here. This would be a minimalist shoe, right? This is a zero drop shoe. it allows the foot display so a really nice wide toe box. It allows the foot to move naturally, allows the ankle to move through a broad range of motion. Why is that foot, why is that shoe wear not something we recommend to the majority of fitness athletes? to explore that full, broad range of motion that we wanna see with squats, squat cleans, wall balls, air squats, you name it. Why is that? when we look at shoe wear, we know that there's aspects to it, right? There's the forefoot, there's the midfoot, there's the heel, and we have something called a heel drop. And the heel drop, essentially, I'm gonna grab another pair here, is the amount of drop a four millimeter heel drop from the back of the shoe to the front of the shoe. That means that when I put this shoe on, my heel is lifted up just a little bit, just about four millimeters difference. What that does for me as an athlete, when I am squatting, is that it gives something we like to coin a dorsiflexion buffer. on board so that when I squat, I have maybe a little bit more available ankle dorsiflexion range of motion for me to squat with. When we take that away, when we go into that minimalist where we have a flat, fully flat shoe, if I am limited at all in ankle mobility, ankle dorsiflexion, that shoe is not going to allow me to have as much anterior transition to that tibia. it's then going to reduce the depth with which I can get into my squat, or it's going to push me into some more funky motor patterns, what we call the immature squat pattern, where my shin moves forward, but then it stops, which means my hips can't go any further without me losing balance or falling backwards, which means my torso needs to dive much further forward, which leads typically to a significant increase in stress on the posterior We're going to increase the loading, uh, the, the, the, the torque on the hips and the posterior chain when we significantly limit that anterior translation of the tibia. We know that from research, right? We know that it's no longer recommended or should be recommended to teach to restrict amount of increased stress to the lumbar spine, the posterior chain, and the hips when we do that with a very minimal decrease in stress to the knee. If you look at the data from the research, it's about a 53% decrease in the knee. 1,000% increase in torque to the low back, hips, and posterior chain, right? That's a huge trade-off. Whereas if we allow that tibia to translate forward, that knee to move forward, it allows for a more upright torso, a more vertical descend into that squat, and improved motor pattern there. So all that to say, when we give minimalist footwear, and we don't know what the individual's mobility is like, or we do know, like, hey, I know this person has really stiff ankles, And what we see both anecdotally and pretty much everywhere is that the ankle is one of the most difficult joints in the body to create mobility. And it can take years to improve ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. If you don't believe me, you can talk to our COO, Alan Fredendahl, uh, who's been working on ankle dorsiflexion for darn near a decade now, probably. And he's, he's doing much, much better now, but it's, it's been a journey for him to try and improve his ankle dorsiflexion. that athlete's ability to sit deeper into that squat with that more mature vertical squat pattern. And when we're talking about CrossFit or fitness athletes, that means that we're limiting the squat, including the back squat, the front squat, the overhead squat, squat cleans, squat snatches, pistol squats, wall balls. There's all these movements where we want to have a vertical torso, a more upright torso when we're performing it or receiving And when we take away mobility from the ankle, we restrict that motion because we're saying you need to go barefoot at all times to really work on it. You need to work on your mobility. Okay, you're not gonna go to depth until you can have better ankle mobility. We are significantly reducing that athlete's ability. to improve, strengthen the knees, strengthen the hips, strengthen the trunk because they can't load that barbell as much. We're reducing fitness level because now they're doing less work in the same amount of time as maybe their counterparts in the same classes or following the same programming and such. So we use the shoe to allow for that dorsiflexion buffer to allow for a deeper squat. We also recommend TO Slide a pair of VersaLifts, of heel lifts underneath the insole, they sit in there. Now instead of a four millimeter, maybe they have more like, I believe VersaLifts are eight millimeter or so. So it'd be like a 12 millimeter, which is, it's pretty high up, right? But it gives so much more mobility in that ankle to allow them to sit deep into a squat with good mechanics, with good motor pattern, and really, really hit the deep ranges that are gonna allow them to train a greater amount of the glute max, a greater amount of their quad to a broader range of motion, right? powerful hip extender that most people don't realize only really gets targeted when we're hitting those deep ranges below parallel to the squat. Again, this is not me saying barefoot or minimalist shoes aren't for nobody, right? There are individuals who have fantastic mobility in their ankles, great mobility in their hips. By all means, if they want to wear a two millimeter heel drop like Vans or Chuck Taylors, or do you want to wear a New Balance Minimus or the, I think the Xero, X-E-R-O, whatever those are. Those are fine for those individuals if they have the adequate prerequisite mobility in their ankle, their hips to be able to perform these movements are really good quality patterns. But for those of us who might have a limitation in the hip or limitation in the ankle, we have should be recommended. right? The two I have right in front of me, right? The strength movement, his trainer, four millimeter heel drop. This is someone who maybe has pretty good hip mobility. Um, and they can make up for a little bit of lack in ankle mobility with that, but they still have more than like 10, 15 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion. Um, me personally, I have like 30, 35 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion. I have decent hips. These work really, really well for me. These are my favorite training shoe for They fit more true to size than they used to. This has, uh, the rad one trainer, um, has a seven millimeter heel drop. Uh, and it is much larger. It's different. The heel is really good for lifting. It's good for Metcons. I have a lot of people at our gym who love these shoes. Uh, really high recommend these for those who maybe need a little bit more ankle dorsiflexion buffer or limited in their ankle mobility because of that. And one I don't have with me right now, if you have more of Um, and you don't like your toes display a whole lot, uh, tier T Y R their tier one trainer has a nine millimeter heel drop. So the biggest heel drop and they just standard training shoe that you can find. And that is the one I recommend to my individuals who like, Hey, I have horrible ankle mobility. Um, I always struggle to hit squatting full depth without my either my ankles kicking in or my going up on my toes. What do you recommend? Um, that's uh that's tier one trainer um excuse me first ones are called oh i'm sorry these are the uh strike movement haze trainer strike movement haze trainer so there is a strike movement right there uh strike movement without any vowels in the movement um so the haze trainer uh good quality shoe really really solid uh great for med cons i love them for weight lifting as well um and again nice and like a wider toe box not too wide but not too narrow at all either so really comfortable i love these for So hopefully that answers your question. And if you're looking for the evidence, right? Like, oh, well, like you gotta be able to use your feet. You gotta be able to use your ankles. In 2022, a study from the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research came out on the effects of footwear and biomechanics of the loaded back squat to exhaustion in skilled lifters. So these are people who are already lifting, who probably already have really good mechanics and strength and everything on board. And they made one group lift barefoot or minimalist as barefoot style shoes. One group had to lift in like heel elevated shoes. And what they found was there's no difference more in like a novice athlete or beginner athlete or maybe people who maybe don't have that same mobility but in these skilled lifters people have been doing it for a while there was no significant difference in that either shoe reduced joint loading or improved joint range of motion for them they already had the adequates on board so the reason I even always emphasize, more than anything else, in the level one, in the live course, when people ask about shoe wear, about are we going to restrict someone from squatting until they have adequate ankle mobility, do we give them a shoe like this, is this okay, or do we give them a minimalist shoe right away, and if they can't do it, do we let them do it? It's always and, not for. I'm going to recommend something like a Rad1, and if they need it, a Rad1 with a heel insert, a VersaLift in there, while they work on ankle mobility, while they work on their hip strength, to work on their squat, to continue being a part, a participant in their CrossFit class, in their group fitness class, without needing to worry about scaling every single time, without needing to worry about modifying every movement every single time, and then they are also going to continue working on their ankle mobility diligently to get to a point where maybe they can take that heel insert out and they feel really comfortable here, and they can move to something like this, and then they can move to minimalistic. That is their end goal. It's always and, not, or with this type of If you want to learn more, if you want to ask this person live and really have a debate with me one-on-one, we have courses coming up where you can meet us on the road, where you can talk all things shoe. Like I love talking shoes. I love talking footwear, worn them, almost all of them. Love doing it. SUMMARY But we have courses coming up. Our CMFA online level one just sold out. So if you've been looking to take an online level one course with Fitness Athlete, we are not having another one until fall of 2024, but you can sign up for that now. So if you want to register for that now, this course always sells out. We always sell out before we start the course. We have a course in the fall. You can sign up now. You can wait until the summer to sign up whenever you want to. Our next level one one if you've taken the live course and you just have the level two to finish up your CMFA cert or if you just want to continue down the path of that CMFA cert we have CMFA level two starting up in September uh on to a year. So again, if you're looking to get that certification, if you're looking to learn more about Olympic weightlifting, programming, modification, even some business type things, check out the level two CMFA course on September 3rd. That one also always sells out before it starts. So if you're looking to take that, sign up sooner rather than later. If you want to hit us up on the road, you're looking where we're at. CMFA Live is going to be on May 18th and 19th in two different locations. Proctor, Minnesota. I believe Joe Hnisko will be leading that one up in Proctor, Minnesota. And then that same weekend, I'll be hanging out with Mitch Babcock in Bozeman, Montana. That is, again, the weekend of May 18th and 19th. And that's all we have right now in May. And then June, on June 8th and 9th, you can hang out with the barbell physio, Zach Long, in Raleigh, North Carolina. And then on June 22nd and 23rd, we have the first ever annual Fitness Athlete Summit. You're going to see every single faculty and TA and every member of the fitness athlete crew. You have Mitch, Zach, Joe, myself, Kelly, Jenna, Tucker. We're all going to be coming together in Fenton, Michigan at CrossFit Fenton for an epic weekend, more fitness and fun and sweating and learning than any course you've ever done in your career. So we would love to see you at the Fitness Athlete Summit on June 22nd and 23rd. I believe it's about 45 minutes, an hour, something like that away from Detroit. null: So quick flight in. You can also SPEAKER_00: to fly into Flint, I believe, which is a shorter, even shorter drive from there. But we would love to see you there and have you join us for the Fitness Athlete Summit in June of, June 22nd and 23rd. Gang, thanks so much for tuning in this morning. Have a wonderful weekend.

It took me a while to realize, but CrossFit metcons are not the secret sauce for maintaining a lean physique. Today I'll cover six reasons why. The rush from high intensity is real - but ditching metcons can actually make your training way more effective - especially when you build more muscle along the way.

Have you ever hit a brick wall in the way you train, and know you're ready for a new approach? Only letting go of your past identity is scary. And trying new things is scary too. What if it doesn't work? These were my exact thoughts when I dropped all conditioning but walking for several months recently. Here's what happened - and what I learned.

In episode 72 of the Legion podcast, we discussed translating improvements in weightlifting technique into actually getting better at weightlifting in conditioning workouts. Improving your positions in a non-fatigued state doesn't always translate into better lifts after you've been running around the block and doing a bunch of double-unders. This isn't just an issue with weightlifting movements, though. We see the same thing with muscle-ups, handstand walking…and even grunt work movements like wall balls and dumbbell snatches. In this episode, Todd and Luke develop some general strategies for bridging the gap between skill work and conditioning work. While some athletes can just throw their weaknesses into metcons a few times per week and see consistent progress, others need to be much more deliberate with how they design their training. How do we bridge the gap so athletes can actually improve their skills in conditioning workouts — not just in drills and warm-ups?

Your favorite side dish talk on their preferred workouts to hit. From EMOMS to Metcons, and Strength, the Peas let us know which are the worst.... and which ones they enjoy staying mediocre in. If only they were a bit better at this... there'd be more on the list!

Our good friend Paul Oneid dropped by to share his experiences with some his experience in using some unconventional client nutritional strategies. Paul works with powerlifters ranging from those getting their feet wet to elite level lifters at the highest levels. As an elite lifter himself, he has experience lifting in a range of weight classes at world class levels. He walks the walk and talks the talk.   Recently, mimicking his own journey from Incredible Bulk to To Bruce Boner, he has started to utilize the principles of flux to help drive max muscle and minimal fat in his powerlifting clientele. The results are undeniable. People eating into their competitions and not starving to make weight. Gaining useful mass and not just fat for weight's sake. Being actual athletes with increased movement quality and increased health.   We really enjoyed this episode and there are some great bits in here for trainees and coaches alike.

Pacing is important in just about any workout, but it’s particularly crucial when there’s a heavy barbell looming. If you don’t have a good understanding of how quickly you can move with different weights in conditioning workouts, and if you don’t understand how long you need to rest between heavier attempts, you can end up getting chewed up pretty badly on these kinds of workouts - even if you’re strong enough to move the weight. How can athletes best learn to pace themselves on “heavy metcons” - and how do they actually get better at lifting heavy under fatigue? If you're not already subscribed to our newsletter, head over to www.legionsc.com and get with the program. You can follow us on Instagram as well for regular training tips and crunchy tactics: @legion.sc Show Notes: [00:15] How to pace for battery workouts or “heavy metcons” – and how to get better at them. [06:53] What do you need to think about to improve your battery? Hint: It’s not just about getting stronger. And, how should people who tend to be more explosive train their battery? [13:15] Why experience is one of the best teachers for pacing in “heavy” workouts – and how to train so that you can learn as much as possible. [20:39] Is there a difference between women and men in ability to do heavy weights in conditioning workouts? [25:16] How do tests of strength usually appear in CrossFit competitions? And – what should people do in their training sessions or in their next “heavy metcon” to get better?

“Are Metcons good for weightlifting?” Yes, Metcons are good for both weightlifting and powerlifting? The IWF has “sponsored” Nike Metcons as being the shoes for weightlifters (International Weightlifting Federation). The function of a metcon (according to the IWF) is to protect the foot of a weightlifter from the hazards of falling weights; something that I can honestly say is truly a hazard.

In this podcast, we’re going to break down how to effectively design conditioning workouts so that you can actually get better at doing the things that you struggle with under fatigue. Struggle with pull-ups? Do a bunch of metcons with pull-ups in them. Struggle with heavy squat cleans? Do some EMOMs! Unfortunately, it's not always that simple.

Your conditioning workouts should have a goal, and shouldn’t be thrown together haphazardly. [04:56] The mistake that many athletes make when thinking about training for a competition vs training to get better at something. [12:03] Training isn’t linear – don’t expect to improve immediately from each training cycle. [18:31] They key to designing conditioning workouts that are appropriate for your skill level [25:25] Why some athletes can get better at CrossFit just by doing a strength cycle and focusing on “heavy metcons” – and why that’s a disaster for the wrong kind of athlete.

Breathing Series: Breathing for HIIT, Metcons, Cross Training   After discussing the Valsalva Maneuver last week, you may be wondering, “Nicole, what other breathing techniques are available for sports aside from heavy lifting?”   Well, in this episode we will be breaking down four more breathing techniques for various physical activities.  But first, we will review your foundation for breathing: normal diaphragm breathing. From there we will differentiate between the other techniques and what they are best suited for.   In this episode we will discuss: Biomechanical breathing commonly used for strength training Anatomical breathing most often used to relax into movement.  This is great for mobility exercises and running. System breathing most often seen used by those participating in crossfit Box breathing, or tactical breathing, which is best for meditation and relaxation   Don’t forget to check out the YouTube channel for videos demonstrating each of the above-mentioned techniques.   Did you enjoy this episode?  Take a screenshot to post in your IG stories and tag us! @mobilityathletes   Join our Free Facebook Group here!   Connect with Nicole: Mobility Physical Therapy Website Instagram Facebook YouTube   Other resources: https://oxygenadvantage.com/ https://opexfit.com/podcast/

In this week's Hump Day Q'n'A I go on a bit of a rant about one of my training pet peeves, people using Plyometric variations for their HiiT and MetCons..In the Episode I discuss:- Why you shouldn't be using Plyometrics for HiiT and MetCons.- What Plyometrics should be used for.- Why Plyometrics, especially the landing part, can put you at risk of injury.- What are the better and safer options you can use for your HiiT and MetCons and the considerations you need to make when selecting the best exercise(s) to maximise your session.

In this episode, I answer common training and nutrition questions. The questions I go over on the show - How to increase bench press arch. Training priorities to focus on. Nutrition priorities to focus on. How to prioritize conditioning or Metcons while on a strength program. Should you avoid "trigger" foods while dieting?

  Chloie Jönsson joins us on the show this week to talk about the magic of poptarts, tattoos in your 30s and jumping your game by switching modalities. When your metcons aren’t creating gains, it might be time to stop wodding and just lift heavy shit for a while.We also got into the cesspool of internet comment threads, her interactions with CFHQ and becoming a representative for a community even if it wasn’t the plan.

This week on Barbell Shrugged we have the pleasure of welcoming the big man, Aja Barto back to the show. In case you missed it, make sure to go back and check out his last appearance on Episode 76. It’s always a great conversation.    We caught up with Aja at the 2014 USA Weightlifting Nationals in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our chat came before his turn on the platform, but I knew he was going to put up some large numbers. Just look at his recent training. At 6 foot 5 inches and 220 pounds of bodyweight, Aja has put up a 250 pound strict press, a 520 pound back squat, a400 pound squat jerk, just for starters. That’s very impressive. I wasn’t surprised to hear that he later snatched 310 pounds and clean and jerked 352 at the meet. Hey, not too shabby for a Crossfitter, right?   It actually might be more accurate to call Aja a Weightlifter, at least for the time being. He made news earlier this year when he decided to sit out the 2014 Crossfit season in favor of pursuing Weightlifting full-time. His reasoning was simple, “I just decided I wanted to see what I could do if I completely dedicated myself to it, without having the interference of burpees and box jumps.”    Interference might actually be too strong of a word. The truth is that Aja has made a really strong run in competitive fitness for several years in a row now, ascending from Crossfit rookie to three-time Games athlete in relatively short order. But despite that success, he ran into the same problem that just about every other athlete comes across eventually - Progress started getting really tough. The easiest gains were long gone.    As Aja saw it he had two choices. First, he could spend another year beating himself up with tough METCONS in hopes of moving up a spot or two at the Games, but he’s the first to admit that it probably wouldn’t have made that much of a difference. The alternative was to switch gears. Instead of another year of the same old thing, Aja decided to commit himself to getting really strong, to refining his technique, to seeing just what he’s capable of on the platform. It’s a wise move. He’s definitely stronger, and will probably end up being much fitter in the long-run, should he return to competitive WODs.    Between you and I, I do hope he does make a return. He’s just too much of a beast not to. But the return might come in some other sport all-together. Sure, he could do proper Crossfit again, but I was thinking he should try something a little different this time. Something a little more powerful, shorter in duration, and befitting a behemoth of his size. Yeah, I was thinking he should actually give the NPGL a try. I guess we’ll see, right?   For more from Aja, make sure to check out Behemoth Crossfit. You can also follow the man and his monster lifts on Instagram, Twitter, and YoutTube. Aja, it was great to see you dude. Take your time with the Weightlifting. I don’t think we’ve seen your strongest work yet.    Cheers,    Chris
