Watching 30-40’s legit do things well is inspiring for the rest of us (who have real jobs and are not young dudes working at a gym). As a business owner - cheering those older age groups and making them look and feel important is great for the marketing of crossfit. Putting them someplace else says “you are shit who cares” to the people who really pay the bills - 30-40-50’s with money to spend on the expensive sport called crossfit
The shoe comment related to point 1 feels like an insane take. I wear dress shoes to work. I wear Romaleos to lift in. I wear Nanos to do metcons. I wear Hokas to run. Changing the brand of any one of those is not going to jeopardize my structural integrity when I’m used to wearing a variety of different footwear throughout my day anyway. Maybe if there was an accident at the glue factory and my foot was stuck in a Reebok all day for 6 years but that’s about it.
Agree with it all except the last one. Only counter I have is, how many times have you had a member tell you "damn coach I really didn't want to come today, but I'm glad I did, thank you." I do see your point, not all people are like that, and some don't wanna show, half ass the workout, and complain about half ass results....those ppl, yeah you can stay home or try something else you enjoy. Keep it up Hiller!
I think you actually agreed with the point then. Member didn't want to go in but then did. They didn't drive halfway and turn around, they didn't get to the gym and make an excuse to not do the workout. They "do" it... or "did" it lol
💯 I learned this from goggins haha you have a 10-miler scheduled but you really don’t want to do it so you tell yourself you’ll do an easy 5 miles just to get your ass running and then once you’re moving, you’re like eff that and put out
Watching a Hiller video is probably comparable to riding in one of those things that pilots ride on that spins around in a circle really really fast to test G force stamina………lol. This was a good one.
I feel like your first point should be, “Don’t *constantly* change your routine.” Shoe brands redesign their shoes all the time and I can’t just stock dozens of pairs of one shoe to not change my routine. We do constantly varied because our body responds to change in routine. I think the actually point is don’t just follow what influencers promote, even if you also mention diet. Even diet should adjust based on goals, age, season, etc.
Look at the age of the Mr. Olympia winners since 1999. There have been winners over 40! Perhaps nobody wants to watch anyone over 30 do CrossFit. Hmmm?…Eyebrows bouncing…Hmmm?
@@Mr_Bob_LoblawIn terms of peak athletic performance in most sports, most athletes peak in their 20s. Sure we have exceptions like Lebron James or a Tom Brady, usually they are either physically gifted or got a good team of PTs. Bodybuilding is not a sport tho. Sure they can lift but flexing and showing muscles is different than running, lifting, or throwing.
Female athlete. Hormones dictate a lot for us. As Dr Sara Sims says “females are not small men”. Some days we have to try. But it always feels better after! I never regret my effort.
I’ve been doing crossfit for years, but I just started paying a lot more attention to the quality of my reps (using video) and realized my reps were not all legit. I recently did Murph and made sure that every rep was legit and it was way harder and my time is way worse than previous years so to Hillers point I finally have a real benchmark to work against and measure myself. I wish somebody would’ve told me that my reps sucked before. I doing this for everything now and I went backwards on my numbers but it will be worth it in the long run. Thanks Hiller!
“Don’t change your routine” Been thinking bout this in relation to Bill and his Achilles injury. Genuinely raves about R.A.Ds, only wears R.A.Ds… Becomes an “Adidas Athlete” and then the first time he’s seen wearing them he pops his achillies off.
Been wearing those creepy toe shoes for over a decade….my body is one with my creepy toe shoes. Sorry to everyone that has to look at my ridiculous footwear choices 🤣. I do wear lifters when maxing out my Olympic lifts.
Today was the day I became a hiller fan. I’ve always glossed over your vids. I’ve always opted for the positive , romanticised vlogs of other content creators. They make me warm and fuzzy. The ones with the formats that are in and amongst the action and not sitting ranting at a screen. But, I’ve been missing out. You’ve just sat spitting bars for 16 minutes. The way you broke down the murph piece. You spoke every reason why murph has lost all meaning because of the way in which it is done by so many. I love this sport and rejected when people complain about it and rant ( which is how I once viewed you ). I realise now it is valid, we just want peace not problems 😂. Big up Hiller.
and that bit about using PEDs before a certain amount of training maturity is soooooooo true. like it really isn’t worth it until you’ve come near your genetic potential. and that only comes after years under a barbell and eating right. that’s why old man strength is really thing.
Someone needs to tell Hiller that 90% (probably higher) of the people doing Murph every year don’t come close to movement standards. Yeah, in CrossFit gyms too. And: “IT DOESN’T MATTER!” Because it’s not about them. Or you. Part 2: Vivek responds: How many multi-million dollar businesses have you built, Hiller? What’s your net worth? Are you even trying?
Y'all think Hiller has like a notepad and pen in a drawer in his kitchen and when he gets out of the shower with some idea that popped into his head, he jots it down before he forgets? And then when that list of ideas reaches 10, he makes a video?
This all seems self explanatory to me Andrew. But I am around other people and hear and see them and they clearly don't get it. Or they don't get what it takes to be really fit. At least as far as CrossFit definitions and methodology. I think a lot of people don't get past the surface and feel like if they wear the gear and 'do' classes (however they make it through the workouts because it definitely is not RX) that that is all it takes. What good is wearing a whoop if you don't actually use the data and track the performance? Why change shoes if they don't help improve your full squat position or your single leg RDLs or rope climbs or whatever? The cheating thing is crazy to me as well. Why get everything together and drive to the gym and show up and half ass everything? It's like they say, don't show up at CrossFit and complain about having to do CrossFit. Run every last meter and do every rep! Yes it is scalable. It is Scalable so you can participate. But there should come a time as quick as you can get there that you kill yourself trying to do 95lb thrusters, you have to start manhandling the 50lb dumbbells, swinging the big KBs, doing actual pullups, etc. If all you try to do is what you can already do, then that is all you will ever be able to do. Ninja out.
Unfortunately I believe a lot of non-CrossFit gyms are doing poor Murph movements. At least they are attempting Murph, but they don’t have anybody showing them the proper techniques.

Yeah, one day that was me. I didn't want to be there. But putting in a full effort got my mind right and I was so glad I showed up.

Totally agree. One thing I don’t like when someone is giving feedback on a rep is they use the word “better”, I prefer just a good or bad
“Don’t change your routine”
Been thinking bout this in relation to Bill and his Achilles injury.
Genuinely raves about R.A.Ds, only wears R.A.Ds…
Becomes an “Adidas Athlete” and then the first time he’s seen wearing them he pops his achillies off.
Interesting
I wear different shoes everyday when bodybuilding for muscle confusion. So I guess you are wrong 😂😂
🤣
Lol no other athlete has ever changed brand affiliation!! So silly
Been wearing those creepy toe shoes for over a decade….my body is one with my creepy toe shoes. Sorry to everyone that has to look at my ridiculous footwear choices 🤣. I do wear lifters when maxing out my Olympic lifts.
😂
great vid
Just received my L1 today so I feel like this is pretty well timed
How do you body build. Simultaneously with traditional met-cons, or its own block?
2. *Diet
Truth! 💯

Those Cicadas are super loud!
Noxplode is the shit! Might go buy some again now.

Fair play 👊
Tia will literally be 31 at this year’s CrossFit games. What are you on about.
“There are always exceptions to the rule”
I loved the “no no no no no” clips
so much truth
Picking dandelions in the forest, highly underrated.

What watch are wearing?
What shoes do you wear Hiller?
The cicadas….holy cow they’re loud in the video!
07:21 whatever you did to the sound, keep doing that, no echo
good catch
Point 2 = i'm a piece of sh*t! Ahahahaha
Lets go
Ironically I think Hiller would really get along with Vivek
Might disagree on a few things, for instance Hiller is a flat earther but that’s a minor fact lots of people disagree on.
Yeah I was thinking mainly that they are both very opinionated and truth focused. Didn’t know Hiller was a flat earther lol
@@christopherjeremiah60where did you hear that Hiller is a flat earther?
Probably cuz he’s friends with sevan who believes in taking away women’s rights and trump MAGA
Which are the top 3 coaches for Elite athletes in the CrossFit sphere?
Rich Fronning

Diet is temporary, Debt is burdensome, but Det is forever. See timestamp 2:35
#5 :( I post in the FB group!!
9 and 10 FTW.
Wait, goruck now has a shoe?!? Wow I'm out of the loop. I love my metcons and will never change... never! 🤔
When the go-rucks dropped everyone and their uncle vomited 😂 the comments on Instagram are hilarious

No one is reading this dude
Aren’t you still at the helm of CF…
So kinda like how Taylor Self is wearing R.A.D shoes but switches up to Born Primitive on Taylor vs the world? 😅
I was thinking along those lines too!
No bull (shit) , I can lift in jandals. The only things I wear special shoes for are ballet & ice hockey
Not interested in people’s Murph times. Very interested in people’s Murph videos.
Do or Do not do. There is no try 👏 👏 👏 (we said do do 💩 😆)
Routine is the enemy, my man!
Who the heck are Joe and Bob, sorry... I'm an idiot
He does know Pat and Brent are over 30 right?
Unfortunately I believe a lot of non-CrossFit gyms are doing poor Murph movements. At least they are attempting Murph, but they don’t have anybody showing them the proper techniques.
The CrossFit aren’t either. Many of the rx

Am I the only one who is surprised he’s 32?
Did you think older or younger? I’d have guessed older. Not much older, but a little. Like 35-37.
So yes, i am a little surprised.
Don't eat sugar.
"puts your skeleton at risk from the ground up" I want to see the science on that one.
