#181 - Crash Crucible, No Sugar, Trash TV & WWE w/ Lydia Fish & Sam Stewart

How should you balance your training priorities during the weeks of a qualifier like WZA, FOTC, the Open, Quarterfinals, etc.? On this episode TTT Coaches Brannen and Kyle give their best advice on how to navigate training during those weeks.

On this episode of the podcast we're joined by CrossFit Games athlete Sam Stewart from Dublin Ireland and CrossFit Semifinals athelte Lydia Fish. They are both in town preparing for the 2024 Crash Crucible.

On this episode of the Corpus Animus Podcast we're joined by our on-site Physical Therapist and Coach Kyle Habdo. Kyle found CrossFit after a dark chapter in his life where he found himself addicted then rehabing from drugs. Fastforward years later and he's serving athletes in the community by helping them navigate and prevent injury. We ask him to share some of the common mistakes athletes at various levels make when trying to come back from being injured. Enjoy.

You've seen coach Brannen in our videos for years... but who the heck is this guy? Today we dive into his story. We touch on his random love for cruise ships, his past history in politics, the only album he ever owned, his time in CrossFit, how he joined TTT, and a football injury that had him seeing Jennifer Aniston. Enjoy.

In the sport of CrossFit, peaking for the main CrossFit Games season is relatively straight forward. But how should atheltes who plan to peak for that approach peaking for off-season competitions, or the occasional one-off local competition? In this episode we share some mistakes we've made along the way, and try to help you better understand the purpose of a peaking and tapering phase of training, and how to navigate that during the off-season.

Last weekend, we journeyed to Birmingham, Alabama, for the 2024 CrossFit Masters Games. The venue was setup with three competition floors, each running simultaneously to accommodate the various age groups. We had 19 athletes competing across all divisions, and by the end of the weekend, 3 of them were proudly standing atop the podium. In this episode, we'll share our experiences from this Masters Games, the first ever organized by The Legends in partnership with CrossFit. - Get our Masters Competitor Handbook here: http://www.trainingthinktank.com/mast... - Get our online programming for competitive CrossFit athletes (Intermediate, Rx, Masters, and Elite) at http://www.trainingthinktank.com/cros...
