| 0:00.0 | What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the Jeremy Scott Finnis podcast and radio show. |
| 0:03.5 | Coming to you hot this Saturday afternoon. |
| 0:06.2 | On something that's vital to all of us, rest and recovery, we know it. |
| 0:10.5 | A lot of you guys know what to do, but it's just putting the pieces into play. |
| 0:14.2 | As we always say in our space here, easy in theory, harder in application. |
| 0:19.0 | And kind of fitting I'm doing this right now as it just |
| 0:21.4 | finished up a brutal, a five-minute workout that I actually stole from Bobby Maximus, and it's called |
| 0:26.7 | a triathlon. It's a 500-meter ski, 50,000 assault bike, and a 500-meter roll. All of that |
| 0:32.7 | completed from start to finish and under five minutes or less. It took me 547. I think for most people, |
| 0:39.4 | honestly, even if you're pushing it, probably seven minutes is more realistic. I went bike first, |
| 0:44.7 | took me a minute 31. Next, I hopped right on the ski, took me 140, I think, and then quick |
| 0:51.1 | transition into the row, strap my feet in and got me 141. I did it that way just because the bike is the hardest for me. The row is the easiest. And if I keep coughing on this podcast, you guys, it's because I still have the kind of, excuse me, the bike cough, row cough, metcon cough going on here. And the point of that is it's to test your limb. It's not just physically, but also, you know, mentally. I laid on the ground for about 15 minutes post workout in the fetal position wishing for a quick death, which drags me into the recovery aspect of it, knowing, you know, what your body's capable of. You know, obviously training hard and training smart. Now, I can't do that workout every single day. And to be honest with you, I might not ever do it again or it'll be at least multiple months before I try it again. It'll be a house record here. But recovery is an important key to that. And I had a hard training day yesterday. I wasn't sure if I could get it done today, but I figured knowing myself, I'm really good at anything under probably about six minutes to go all out, no matter what I did |
| 1:45.8 | the day before, what I have coming up. It's the longer stuff that I personally struggle with, |
| 1:51.0 | the things I get into the 45 minute range or an hour and beyond. So I want to touch on rest |
| 1:55.5 | and recovery because you guys know it's a crucial component to your life and a successful |
| 1:59.9 | training program. And most of us, you guys, honestly, these little metrics are just fun little challenges. For a lot of us, our competing days are over. I'm never going to play in, you know, another meaningful basketball game other than the one day a year. My friends and I get together. But really, there's only probably like seven of us that are still fit. So it's not as competitive as it once was. And yeah, I still want to win. I still have that kind of Michael Kobe killer mentality, even though I say I'm going to take it easy. |
| 2:02.0 | Within 5.5. fit. So it's not as competitive as it once was. And yeah, I still want to win. I still have that kind of Michael Kobe killer mentality, even though I say I'm going to take it easy. Within five minutes, I want to fucking crush everybody. That's just kind of how I'm wired. But even what that said, we're on a group text and everybody's jack to play. And I'm more excited about the reunion to see my friends, honestly. And my two messages were one, don't die. And two, don't get seriously hurt and that's kind of how I look at training in general. So the rest of recovery is important for that because RPRs, a lot of them, they don't really matter other than to us. You guys even out there who do CrossFit, most of you guys listening to this, you're never going to go to the games. Excuse me, not as a team, not as an individual. So you're doing it for yourself. You're doing it for sheds. You're doing just for, you know, you're competitive in a non-competitive environment. So the point for most of us is just to train as long as we can, as safely as we can, and feel as good as we can every single day. And your rest and recovery is a crucial part of that, obviously, and any training program general and i think it's also probably the least you know planned and the least you know |
| 3:12.7 | utilized part of people's training and most of you guys you're not really aware how to implement |
| 3:18.1 | recovery in a proper way and so what i'm breaking down is it for you guys who train a lot and to |
| 3:23.0 | me training a ton i don't just mean like bullshitting time with the gym and driving there and hanging out with your friends, but actually training. A lot of people, eight to ten hours a week is a shitload. Most of the people I see in my space, they're probably training about three hours per week, which is plenty for most people. You guys who are extreme, it you know, to 10 hours total. And that extra time |
| 3:42.6 | is basically anytime you're not in the gym, which averages out to probably like 158 to 160 hours per |
| 3:48.5 | week. And so my question would be is like, what are you guys doing with that time? And, you know, |
