Moxy Monitor is a wearable NIRS device (muscle oxygen monitor) that measures the balance of oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization in the muscle non-invasively. Interest is growing about the potential to use this technology in sports like CrossFit in order to better monitor intensity, individualize training and educate athletes. In this conversation, I talk with Sebastian, Damien and Assaf about the potential utility of Moxy Monitor for CrossFit training and coaching. I begin with a QUICK refresher on Moxy theory and practice. If you want something less rushed, watch this :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9glY_uokKU. We then delve into how to test conditioning with Moxy, how to interpret the results, how to train with Moxy Monitor in a CrossFit context (for both specific and general testing) as well as respiratory training and coaching philosophy. This was a very fun exchange! I hope to have more of this kind in the future. If you agree, please leave a comment below to support the channel!

This entire Thoughts On was inspired by listening to a presentation James FitzGerald did on "Core Training for Mixed Modal?" at the Training Trunk Stability course I recently taught in Scottsdale, AZ. ~ Enjoy!

James FitzGerald is the founder and president of OPEX and an all around systematic thinker and pattern matcher who has developed some pretty impressive insights into what makes people successful in mixed modal fitness. He’s applied this insight into winning the CrossFit Games himself in 2007, coaching multiple other CrossFit Games athletes through OPEX and Big Dawgs, and developing continuing education through the OPEX CCP and the more recent Mixed Modal course. In this conversation, I wanted to dig into how James systemizes his thoughts and updates his mental models based upon experiences and new information - and how he knows when his pattern matching is going off the rails and when he’s developing new insight. Check out more from James, OPEX & Big Dawgs here: Instagram: @jfitzopex//@opexfitness//@opexfitness//@bigdawgsathlete Website: www.opexfit.com///Mixed Modal Show Notes [2:03] Special Newfoundland pronunciation of vowels and consonants – and how to build and extract systems from reality and reason from first principles. [9:27] How James builds and updates his mental systems based upon both thoughts and experiences – and how to build the metacognition to “notice your noticings” [15:37] How James goes about confirming or disconfirming his beliefs. And one thing that James has changed his mind on over the years: the role of muscle endurance in mixed modal sport. [24:11] The role of chaos in mixed modal sport – and how to systemize mixed modal sport as a whole in terms of monads, diads, triads, etc. [34:03] How to pattern match in a chaotic environment like mixed modal sport – and finding the appropriate amount of variance in the skill acquisition process for mixed modal sport [48:13] How do you know when the patterns that you’re seeing are real? What is the application of something like peer review in fitness? What incentives would pull people out of silos as far as best practices in fitness coaching? [56:54] When did system building behavior start for James? And what resources have helped him in building mental models and systems? [01:05:38] How does James approach content consumption? How does he balance consuming content for fun vs trying to solve a specific problem? [01:13:24] The balance of giving people what they want vs what they need – especially in the context of fitness vs sport [01:19:09] What is happening in individuals who are resistant to fatigue in mixed modal sport? What would the process look like to truly do research on the various fatigue models for how people utilize fuel in a mixed modal setting?
