No, I didn’t say that. It would just be counterproductive for anyone to attempt to gain muscle size through hypertrophy training unless they really want to. If you’re referring to my body weight, I have an eating disorder and can’t pursue weight loss because I would relapse. But if I was a competitive athlete without an eating disorder then it would be beneficial to be lighter. That’s irrelevant though because I will never not have an eating disorder.
@ I never have and never will mention your bodyweight, that’s your business not mine. It just seems that you’re dialling down hard on gaining muscle when there’s obvious benefits to it.
To the question of Carrying extra muscle. Yes there are disadvantages to being too muscle bound depending on the sport. Look at sprinters vs marathon runners. In regards to progressive overload it must be in conjunction with S.A.I.D principle. Where you get better at what you specifically train for. Like training wrestling you get better at wrestling. Same applies to Hyrox training. SPECIFIC ADAPTATION TO IMPOSED DEMANDS. A body building program doesn't benefit a cardio based multi disciplined event. Too much muscle is a hindrance.
Unless you’re severely under-muscled it wouldn’t benefit race performance to gain muscle. You can gain strength without gaining muscle size (as long as you have some muscle) you increase the amount of motor units each muscle has which means the muscle stays the same size but outputs more power. If people want to gain muscle size because they like the look then power to them. But muscle size and muscle strength don’t directly correlate. So it’s better to train specifically for the sport (strength and muscular endurance) rather than hypertrophy which is more aesthetics focused. I assumed the reference to “adipose tissue” was a reference to my body weight as I didn’t mention it in the video.
I found this very helpful. I wouldn’t enjoy the pace of Hyrox training as it’s so cortisol inducing - I prefer controlled hypertrophy movement followed up by sprint intervals. But you’ve helped me to cool my jets on critical thoughts I sometimes have in the gym when seeing what other people are doing. (No one needs negative thoughts in the gym - nor I suppose in the YT comments selection 😊).
The S.A.I.D principle applies to every Sport and discipline. When you train specifically for Hyrox eveents then you get better at those movements, skills and disciplines. Although building muscle for strength is important however it can't supersede specific training that helps you adapt to that sport or discipline. For example if you train BJJ you get good BJJ. Training boxing doesn't help you improve BJJ even though they are both combat sports. Great content Beth 💪💪💪♥️
"Hyper trophy" lol
Without the space but yes?
@@Penny-s5t British English is different to American English. Hyper-trophy verus hypertrough-y
Oooooh thank you for explaining!! I’ve been getting so confused!
Hyper 🏆
I don’t understand why I’m getting comments like this that’s literally how you say it 😂 do you say it differently in the US or something?
If in doubt always remember the English invented English 😉
@@sportybeth It's like how you say atrophy - I think you're just saying it differently.
So carrying excess lean muscle mass is worse than carrying non-contractable mass / adipose tissue ?

Hope that you watched my last video about Hyrox as well😂. Btw great tips! 🙌
Ooh I haven’t yet, I’ll have a look! The one on doubles? I really need to try a doubles race! Thanks!
