Summary

Steven Fawcett is a 3 Times CrossFit Games Athlete and Head Coach of JST Compete.

How to become fit and how to use that fitness in a competitive environment are two very different challenges. Many athletes will spend years training and competing to see their numbers stay the same, or maybe even go backwards.

So what's the solution? As a coach and athlete who has seen phenomenal success over the last few years, I figured Ste would be a good guy to ask. Expect to learn how to periodise your training, how often you should be competing every year, why a full break can be one of the best training tools you can use, what Ste's best advice is on competition weekends and much more.

0:00.0	Oh yes, hello friends, welcome back to Modern Wisdom. My guest today is Steve Fawcett,
0:06.0	multiple times CrossFit Games Atherlete owner of JST Compete and Man with a Wiggin accent,
0:14.2	drove down to see him in his Man Cave garage gym and we had a fantastic discussion
0:20.4	speaking about how competitors both local and at the absolute top level of fitness can program
0:27.3	their years. How often should you be competing each year? How often should you be doing qualifiers?
0:32.5	How can you prepare in-between events at competitions? How can you ensure that your progress
0:38.5	is not being beset by constantly hammering yourself with Macons? There is a lot to take away
0:44.0	from this episode. In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by
0:48.6	Da Da Da Da Da Da Da! New sponsor, The Protein Works, have decided to give me my own shopfront
0:56.4	on their website, simply head to theproteinworks.com slash modern wisdom to see everything that I use.

1:38.1	That is The Protein Works.com slash modern wisdom and into the code modern 35% off anything that you
1:46.4	add. But for now it's time to talk fitness, Steve force it, take it away. Oh yeah, PS, some of you
1:53.2	might be thinking, well it's all well and good you tellin us about fitness Chris, but my gyms
1:57.4	shut down at the moment, what am I supposed to do? Well, if there is one takeaway from this podcast,
2:02.7	I would say that it is focusing on the individual elements of your sport to then bring it back in
2:09.8	so that you can use it in a competition setting. And that is what is happening right now.
