On this episode of the Corpus Animus Podcast, TTT Coaches Max El-Hag, Adam Rogers, Kyle Ruth and Mike McGoldrick are surprised with a topic, the subject of which brought these 4 together and played a large role in advancing the training for the sport side of CrossFit.
This is OG type sh!t. Max did a barbell shrug interview that sparked my love for coaching and I spent a year mentoring under James and OPEX. Two of the smartest guys in the sport.
Bring him in for an interview!
So proud of knowing exactly who they were talking about with AB. 100% remember when OPT came out and the uproar that went around facilities. Black box Summit was also a huge deal. That whole situation was a massive blow up. Ahhh to be in this sport since 2011 and think back on things way back when.
EDIT; lets talk about when HQ fought tooth and nail against Wodapalooza from being able to put on the event.
As an OPEXCCP this would be a good interview! Do it bring him on!
Did the Optathalon many times. Linked up with some OPT folks in 2011 and my life changed forever. Was it CrossFit, or was it OPT? Hard to say, but it was a net positive.
This was a great episode, I current train at OPT in Canada and Michael holds a competition every year called outside the box. Which has a bunch of tests you might not see at a crossfit comp. Example this year they had to do single legged broad jumps with 3 attempts on each leg for a total score.
Funny how these self proclaimed rebels like Glassman don't like people "rebelling" against them (in the case of OPT actually improving the methodology)
Legend. Still got my OPT shirt (and the first TTT shirt). Pretty much introduced me to a scientific approach to CrossFit training instead of just pounding myself into the ground.
This was a STUD. Thank you guys for this - loved hearing all the stories and history.
This is really cool to see. Thanks for doing it.
Great show. I'm new to CF and I'm glad to know that, from the very beginning, there was somebody questioning the Glassman's CF methodology which is far from perfect
You’re new to thinking.
@@TheSevanPodcast at least, unlike you, I have started to think
To be fair, it’s easy to question and harder to create a methodology that actually gets legs. James ideas helped those who chose to train it primarily as sport.
@@CTPCAM I agree. But Glassman created a very successful brand, not a truly new methodology. The problem is that most people don't know the history of training methodology. They think what they see for the first time (or has a new fancy name) is something new. Many essential features of CF methodology are as old as shit. I have studied concepts like crosstraining, circuit training (METCONs are just shorter versions of it) and testing physical work capacity over broad time domains during my degree in Physical Education back in the 80s on textbooks written in the 60-70-80s. Being the prick he is, Glassman tweaked, renamed and sold it as his amazing invention.
@@TheSevanPodcastdon’t be an ass
Great topic CTP!
Outstanding podcast!
enjoyed this convo!
Incredibly fascinating, my coach does OPEX programming and it's really interesting to hear Max talking about tests from the early days of the method that are now bread and butter testing even now.
OPT is still going in Calgary AB Canada
I thought he was down in Arizona? And his brother was in Canada.
You are correct.@@castrodc12
Yeah his brother runs OPT in canada now, James runs opex out of Arizona.
James is a beast
3:00 in and I’m thinking to myself, “where was I in 2007?” And I was in elementary school… that’s crazy
haha shit im getting old.
The dream team of Crossfit 🤩
Does the old big dogs blog still exist somewhere? I’ve looked for it but I can’t find it. Would be interesting to look at the old programming and see how things have changed from then until now.

Does anyone remember The Outlaw Way ?
Yes! and they had the coolest merch :D
Is this considered a round table format? I don't know, but I enjoyed it.
I think he answered a question that main site wasn’t for everyone and that was the last straw. Jolene and even Catie (as an athlete) have been written off too to be fair.
Is the big dogs blog still available somewhere?
You can find some posts from WAY back. I have a few months of the blog workouts somewhere I can send.
Do you have the web address for the blog? Thanks

Who is behind the camera?
I used to love "Being" from Function/Being/Will when he started splitting it up!
Puking Mike, LMAO!
I thought Jason Kalipa was the first CrossFit Champion! 😱
