Only found your channel today and watched part 1 and part 2 of stop training like you 25. And I'm 43 and I realised I wanted to be able to pass the fitness test I did when I was younger and a soldier. Now I'm older, work in civilian life, so a lot of sitting on my ass in an ambulance. But I try get in an hour a day. Some weeks I'll only get 3 days in. But you made me think of what I've been trying to do vs reality.. thank you.
Thank you very much for your effort and videos. I started with CrossFit last year in August after a stomach surgery in June and lost around 60kg so far. I will turn 45 this year and your videos inspire me so much I think about becoming a CF Masters Athlete myself. Thank you Jason!
Thanks a ton for that masters wisdom! Just turned 46, have been doing CrossFit for almost 2 years, but really want to take it to the next level, and I have really enjoyed your content. Keep it coming!
Love this series. I'm 40 and started boxing again. Everyone in the class is half my age. I have to spar less, and not train every day like I used to when I was younger. I might take a week off to recover. I used to feel guilty about taking breaks, but at my age, my body needs the rest.
Heck yes it does... and with the right rest, training and eating... I'm still hitting PRs in the gym. I PR'd my Back Squat, deadlift and strict press a few weeks ago!
40 is still very young and Im certain you will recover a lot more quickly once you get used to it again. Im 45yrs, and sometimes box 6 times a week (only 30min per session) along with other sports I do (60-120min per day, every single day of the week).
Thank you for this.I’m 34 and been doing CrossFit for 5 months.I have basically been injured for 5 months for one thing or another I needed this to make me realise how important warming up/down is.keep up the great work💪🏻
As a 42yr athlete trying to brake though in Europe I like this video. you keep it simple an honest and you do not try to sell toe spacers 🧐 and i Think everyone should follow this even the 20yr old athlete. Sleep, food and quality training. Keep up the good work. Morten from Denmark

Thank you Jason for being so transparent. You have the best content for CrossFit masters. I will be 52 this month and you are an inspiration! Praying you win the games again this year.
@@JasonGrubb Hope your training is going great for the games. I did your warmup routine prior to each workout this past weekend at the live event qualifier at Holly Springs, it helped me land a ticket to Mayhem! Hope to meet you there in December. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Just found your station... This is a very helpful video I'm 64 there should be more videos on warm up & cooldowns for workouts... After your warm-up you said you do a met con before your workouts..
I agree about warming up and recovery. I usually do a met con (metabolic conditioning) as part of my workout routine. Where it falls in the course of the workout depends on how it's programmed for me.
I really need to improve my sleep, that is biggest area that I can improve on. As a 40 year old who just started doing CrossFit this year in January, I really don't know if I am training like I am 20 years old as this whole journey is new to me but I have taken my time to scale things to keep my chance of injuries reduced but still trying to get the volume of the workout in. After 7 months, I am at Rx for most workouts now and although I am somewhat sore during the days, I definitely feel better now than when I first started. Thanks for putting out the channel, it definitely helps bring some knowledge.
Thank you for all the information Jason. I have never been to a CrossFit gym but have been doing your recommended workouts in the garage and absolutely love it! When you get a chance, can you do a video on what a typical day looks like for you in terms of the volume of work? Thank you! 🙏
What programming do you do. I’m 73 yet I’ve done Bodybuilding and Powerlifting. Started lifting weights at 10. Your absolutely right about training. Programming now is geared more for the younger folks..thanks young man
Amen amen amen. When I started following Mayhem master programing the warm ups were awesome and long. Now 30 min warm up is SOP everytime non negotiable. And the fueling and the sleep! Great video JG aka the Champ.
That movement is called a Bird Dog. The Dead Bug is where you lie on your back and slowly bring your left elbow and right knee towards each other while the other limbs are extended, obviously alternating each time. Good luck in the Games and with the channel.

Hi Jason, gonna be 58 in a couple weeks and I agree with the warm up and prep bar work. I did this during the 2024 open and made it to QFs. This is now part of my daily workout. ...... New Sub: I will be competing soon at a venue that will be any where between 15-20 degree hotter than where I live. Do you have a link on how to eat, hydrate, prep for hot weather comps? Thanks! Appreciate you!
I don’t have anything specific for hotter weather comps. But I’d recommend a larger focus on hydration with electrolytes like LMNT - drinklmnt.com/jasongrubb
Totally appreciate the video, I have let my weight get away from me last couple years. 267# I have lost 45# since Jan 1, but I also started crossfit and orange theory last 60 days. Great advice!
This has been a gr8 series!!! There is too much on the younger athletes bc there will be a time when the masters classes will be the main draw at boxes!
Great video. I really have to get after my warming up since I'm 46 now, little overweight and trying to get in shape, with tight glutes and hammies and lower back with a facet joint that might be bothering me. Going to redefine what I call a warm up. Thanks.
Jason, where can I find the Grinds Coffee (Not the Grinds pouches, the actual bag of Grinds Coffee) you show in the video…..”work hard…..coffee hard” ? Thank You, found your vid’s a couple weeks ago and have watched a few when I could, good content, thanks !
Such an informative video! Quick question: do you determine your daily calories based on your Garmin? I have the Garmin Forerunner 945 and find the feedback very helpful. It seems high on the calories but 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks!
Hey Lauren... I don't use my garmin to determine my caloric requirements, nor my whoop. Even through they both give me recommendations that are within range. I've done quite a bit of testing with my macros/calories to find the sweet spot for me.
Half hour warmup...that whooshing sound is my soul dying. In truth though, this is what I need. It reminds me of something I read by Dan John about ten years ago, "The warmup IS the workout".
First of all, congratulations!!! A quick question, I'm 42 and I started CrossFit a few months ago. I go 3 times a week, how many times do you recommend for my age?
iam 2 years into my masters crossfit journey and have improved every year so far but,like you said.....iam not 20 or for that matter 30 so i should train appropriately
Hi Jason, great content and journey. I’m 47 training usually with 30 yr olds. Mainly an Rx athlete except for muscle ups at the minute. Can’t get the movement down. What would you recommend as the best way to improve your base fitness… thanks
Base fitness... Is it's all about building your engine. So, to increase that... you'd be looking at a good amount of rowing, biking, ski erg, running... at all distances and intervals. Building that capacity creates a solid foundation to build weightlifting and gymnastics on.
Just found your channel Jason it’s really informative some top content , can you do a video on nutrition and how much you should eat if your following a CrossFit programme
Ash... that is a good question and depends on a lot of variables like: how active is your lifestyle outside of crossfit, how much do you currently weigh, how tall are you, what is your athletic goal, etc. Basically... You need to eat just enough to support your performance, lifestyle and training.
@@JasonGrubb thanks mate , I definitely need to do some research into it sometimes I train twice a day and there’s no way I eat enough to sustain that , great videos btw really informative , good luck this season mate 👍
What about doing the CrossFit classes? What’s your opinion on this? and a workout xtra session later in the day. I do 20-30 min warm up and 30-40 mobility after and 20 stretch before bedtime.
Hey Craig... I think that's a great plan, if that works for your life and schedule. Sounds like you get a solid warm up for both class and the second session? Plus mobility after?! That's great!
Love the content brother! I will be turning 40 next month, and like you, started late (when I was 38). I did fairly decent in quarterfinals this year and that lit a fire to see how far I can get. I have been doing HWPO programming, but your latest video really made me question if that is appropriate for me. So I’ve been digging into master’s programming and think I like either Mayhem Masters or PRVN Masters. I was curious if you’d be willing to give me your input to help me choose a direction? Keep kicking ass brother!
Hey Brad... I haven't tested PRVN, but I have been with Mayhem for nearly two years. Here's my review of Mayhem specifically: ruclips.net/video/cnqvjHqlb6U/видео.html
@@JasonGrubb Thank you my man, just watched the video… I was already leaning towards Mayhem Masters because of Burgeners Strength, but you definitely sold me the rest of the way! Here’s to some intense training, and I’ll see you in Madison 2023 😉
It depends on your current fitness level Ken... but having an active lifestyle and solid foundation means you could train 5 days a week. I like 3 days on, 1 day off, then 2 days on, then one day off!
Awesome video. I have a question as a masters athlete. Going to the box 4-6 days a week, trying not to cherry-pick the programming. How can you work with the programming since it’s generally created for the best athlete. I have been modifying some workouts but I am also afraid not doing enough and maybe limiting progression. I hope this makes sense and thank you for all your work
Matthew... It all depends on your goals. For being a competitive athlete in the sport, I recommend following competitive programming. And if you're just looking to be a super healthy and fit dude, trust your gym programming and scale when appropriate. Ask your coach specifically about the stimulus of a workout, and then chose the weights/movements appropriate. For example... If you're doing the workout, FRAN. It should be a 2-5 minute sprint workout. If you can't move that fast with 95# thrusters and pull ups... scale to lighter thrusters and jumping pullups to have a speedy time in the 2-5 minute range.
Love the video bud! You touched addictions like nicotine/tobacco and you've said multiple times in the past that you have been casually drinking a few beers every night. How did you managed to quit drinking? Any tips, cause i'm struggling with it? Good luck on semis!
Hey Andrey! Good question dude!!! It's hard... but for me it's all about replacing the habit with something else. When I quit alcohol completely last year for 100 days.. I replaced drinks with Topo Chico sparkling water and/or Zevia sparkling water. I drank a lot of them at first to deal with the desire to have a drink. But they helped replace the habit.
Cool video, great info! Question for you bro, are post-workout shakes recommended as a master? I use to take "musclemed secret sauce" a couple of years ago. Now that I am back on training in my 40's not sure if it's something that should be on my daily diet and which one could be cook to take. Crush it this weekend champ! 💪🏻
Hey Ademir - post workout is lots of water and sometimes a whey protein shake... I also talk about this quite a bit in my supplements video (I have a recovery water that I make for myself): ruclips.net/video/zcpqjsXGiuI/видео.html
Great content. I'm 62 and still train like I'm 20. I don't feel like I get enough time in the gym even though I work out one and a half hours every other day. My problem is sleep. I can be nodding off to sleep about 10 pm and when my head hits the pillow it sometimes explodes with obsessive thoughts about my day. I write a lot and it seems like my mind wants to think about one small part of what I wrote over and over and over again. I have a dark cold bedroom with two floor fans and a ceiling fan to create white noise. Could you explore better sleep methods? I've tried Wim Hof's deep breathing exercises. That works sometimes but not all the time. I need more tools to get my sleep rankings up. I've only scored Good on my Garmin maybe once a month, fair and poor are the most common sleep score. Thanks
Hey David! I actually struggle with my thoughts exploding too... I created a vide on this with some tips that help me! ruclips.net/video/mYPVbjt2u5E/видео.html
Will doHey Daniel! Yes... it's a ton of calories. For a specific breakdown for you... shoot me a message. (you can find my phone number in my Instagram profile)
That's all good if you've got the time Jason. Up at half 5am for a 6am class and then straight back home to get ready for work and kids ready for school etc.. I'd be allover if I didn't work full time. 😂
@@JasonGrubb ah nice one Jason. Thanks for taking the time out to reply to my comment. Your wife must be very understanding! 😂 Anyway, keep the great content coming. You've got alot of fans in my box Crossfit (sweatbox) Dundee. 🏴🏴🏴
With your Garmin, I'm assuming you are watching your body battery. What kind of recovery do you get on any average night? 50-60 points? What do you drive the number down to on a normal training day?
I don't really pay attention to the body battery - as I use a Whoop to track my recovery. But as the training week goes on, my recovery tends to drop. Then rebound on recovery and rest days. Especially if I'm eating enough.
Hi Jason, great Video thank you. In the supplementation area, you should consider also some testosterone supporters. I could recommend you to try Fadogia Agrestis and Tongkat Ali complex. Both show significant improvement in the testosterone levels. I know you are not a fan of TRT (nor do I) those are natural boosters.
Hey Nikolay, I appreciate the recommendations... but I really believe that I can get all that I need for my health and performance through quality food and very minimal supplements (as I outlined). But I appreciate it brother.
Have to ask?! You mentioned Metcon prior to start your work out with Mayhem Training. Why? Does that not destroy your strength and energy prior to lifting and gymnastics? Also, how many calories are you burning a day to feed 3000+ calories? Lastly, you mentioned 195lbs, how tall are you?
Good questions!! 1. I'm 5'8 2. Not worried about how many calories i'm burning. But my whoop and garmin caculate between 2000-3700 calories burned a day - depending on the day. 3. Mayhem does program metcons before lifting (sometimes) and lifting before metcons (sometimes). You'd be surprised, some of my best lifting days have come after the metcon. My body is primed and cns can be quite activated and ready for solid lifting after metcons.
@@JasonGrubb thank you for the insights brother and congrats in the back to back wins. I want to compete but currently out with a herniated disc. Been back this past month doing metcons and some lifts but can't hip hinge much. Have you ever had disc injury? Would love to learn more about your programming and nutrition once I am a little further along in rehab as I see you work with folks. I have gained some weight with the injury and have dropped 8lbs this past month training crossfit again and currency 205lbs at 5'10. So calories in and calories out are important to me right now a I want to be sub 200lbs for gymnastics. work.
I've been taking CBD lately to help with my sleep. I've been seeing far more green days than before, as well as only one red day since I've been taking it. About a month. I usually see 3-5 red days a month. I'm retired military, and my sleep is screwed.
Aiden... yes... your sleep is messed up... Thats fair. But keep experimenting. Find out what works to help you get better sleep. A colder room, better nutrition, more sunlight, etc.
@@JasonGrubb since I retired from the navy, life's been an experiment...lol. Nutrition is getting pretty dialed in. Bed time has become a thing, as opposed to being all over the place. Room is as cold as my wife will let it get. Lol Just changing little things at a time. Thanks for the tips. My next one is to spend a bit more time in nature. Considering I own 6 acres of it, shouldn't be too hard I guess.
The advice on protein intake in confusing. I've read it's about 1.2g per kilo of body weight and not pounds and I've read visa versa. And somewhere I found info it's lean weight, i.e. if you're 100kg with 20% body fat, you calculate on 80kg lean weight.
For athletes... I like to keep it simple. 1g per pound of bodyweight. So simple. So for me... around 200g. You can't really eat too much protein (it's really hard to get that much protein anyway). But your'e right.. there is a lot of debate out there. A lot! For me... this has worked great!!
I will attest that Jason does reach out - He did to me , I wish I could take some of his courses but the economy and inflation is kicking my ass. I know and feel that Jason is a good guy and really wants to help people .I want to pay attention to his madness .I am in my 50’s and struggling to stay fit , although I certainly go to the Gym at least 4 or 5 days a week - My gains are slow and recovery is horrible . I am often very sore - My Sleep , well with young kids and a crazy family I can only average 4 hours every night - that’s every night for the last 13 or so straight years and that’s kicking my ass also. Anyway I do hope to make that 20 min call .
Thank you!!!!! And... I just made some changes to the courses by the way. You should take a peek at the new pricing. I want to. make this doable for anyone!!! www.jasongrubb.com/ Talk soon!!!
I m 42 93kg cant get weight no matter what i eat.. Pretty fit for my age playing basketball almost all my life mostly weight lifting and running. Having 2 babies now got so much difficulties in my routine but the most annoying thing in my life is the lack of sleep due to work. I m working 24hours swifts and staying all night long until 5.30 am... As a a result i might not recover the next day with 3,4 hours of sleep or even the next day if i have a full day with the kids... I work one day 2 days off.. Dum this is such a problem for me cant solve
Whew... that's a bit brutal!! Really challenging schedule. Have you ever follow a specific nutrition plan? Something that truly helps you get enough food in a day?
@@JasonGrubb to tell you the truth not really.. The past year i ve been trying to get some weight but as always i m stack at 92kg, 192 cm.. Its pretty decent for a 42 year old but cant get big can't get onto schedule. I trying to eat as much as i can and pretty clean like eggs chicken, protein etc like you.. In the end of the day i m ok with size and weight.. The problem is the sleep.. Most of the times after work and 24hours i get the kids to school, sleep from 8 to 12 and them hit the gym!! After i m dead... Kids come back from school and all hell breaks loose 😂
Don’t u think CrossFit should have a weight class? U say 195 lbs is a sweet spot for u and that goes for every athlete that has ever won the CrossFit games there between 185-195. No athlete has ever won at 160 for instance or over 215. Maybe one I don’t know but the normal is the 185- 195 weight range. I really like CrossFit but they need weight classes it’s just not fair great topic to debut
I know... Angelo. And agree... I actually competed in a local competition a few years ago that was based on your weight. it was called Pound for Pound competition. So much fun and it felt like it leveled the playing field with weightlifting workouts.
I don't understand why you need so much protein. Optimal intake is 1,6g of high-quality protein per kg bodyweight, so you should be perfectly fine with 130g/day, which is totally achievable with one pound of meat/fish plus whatever low-quality protein comes in through pasta/bread/legumes/nuts (rule of thumb: 2g plant protein roughly equates 1g of high-quality protein), so you shouldn't need that much whey protein supplementation, if at all.
Hey brother... there are various theories on the need for more or less protein as an athlete. The nutritionists I love and learn from recommend close to a gram per pound. Everyone is unique - but this is what works for me.
Train exactly like me here: www.bolderathlete.com/ (Daily and Competitive Programs available)
I’ve watched a lot of RUclips videos about CrossFit and these I must say have really been some of the most helpful. Great job and good luck!!

Appreciate you!
I don’t have anything specific for hotter weather comps. But I’d recommend a larger focus on hydration with electrolytes like LMNT - drinklmnt.com/jasongrubb
Totally appreciate the video, I have let my weight get away from me last couple years. 267# I have lost 45# since Jan 1, but I also started crossfit and orange theory last 60 days. Great advice!
Dude that’s awesome!!! Congrats on taking your health back!
This has been a gr8 series!!! There is too much on the younger athletes bc there will be a time when the masters classes will be the main draw at boxes!
Thanks Chris!! Totally agree!
Of course I hope to be one of the masters in the future but right now- I have to lose my fat! LOL
Great video. I really have to get after my warming up since I'm 46 now, little overweight and trying to get in shape, with tight glutes and hammies and lower back with a facet joint that might be bothering me. Going to redefine what I call a warm up. Thanks.
Absolutely! The warmup is essential for us masters athletes. Hope a change to that routine helps!
Loving the content, you've got a fan in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks Matty!
Great info!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome, Thank You
Thanks for watching!!
Yes I been to do that now at 39 now 👍🏾
You've got it Robert!
Can’t wait for the part 3 ;)
Thanks Sam!
I’m 38 and I don’t jump in either. My training partner used to complain I take too long and I’m the one injury free. 😂
Ha ha!! You're the one injury free!!!
Jason, where can I find the Grinds Coffee (Not the Grinds pouches, the actual bag of Grinds Coffee) you show in the video…..”work hard…..coffee hard” ? Thank You, found your vid’s a couple weeks ago and have watched a few when I could, good content, thanks !
PK... still working on this... they send it to me, but I don't see it on the website.
Such an informative video!
Quick question: do you determine your daily calories based on your Garmin?
I have the Garmin Forerunner 945 and find the feedback very helpful. It seems high on the calories but 🤷🏻♀️
Thanks!
Hey Lauren... I don't use my garmin to determine my caloric requirements, nor my whoop. Even through they both give me recommendations that are within range. I've done quite a bit of testing with my macros/calories to find the sweet spot for me.
Good stuff Jason!
Thanks Tony!!
Half hour warmup...that whooshing sound is my soul dying. In truth though, this is what I need. It reminds me of something I read by Dan John about ten years ago, "The warmup IS the workout".
So necessary!!!
First of all, congratulations!!! A quick question, I'm 42 and I started CrossFit a few months ago. I go 3 times a week, how many times do you recommend for my age?
Depends on what your goal is… for general fitness 4-5 days is a great goal to have 👊
@@JasonGrubb thank you for your reply !
iam 2 years into my masters crossfit journey and have improved every year so far but,like you said.....iam not 20 or for that matter 30 so i should train appropriately
Truth Lorenzo!
Jason! What’s programming do you use and how often do you workout? A “day in the life” video would be sick
Hey!!! Here's my programming: ruclips.net/video/cnqvjHqlb6U/видео.html
And I'll create a day in the life for sure!
Hi Jason, great content and journey. I’m 47 training usually with 30 yr olds. Mainly an Rx athlete except for muscle ups at the minute. Can’t get the movement down. What would you recommend as the best way to improve your base fitness… thanks
Base fitness... Is it's all about building your engine. So, to increase that... you'd be looking at a good amount of rowing, biking, ski erg, running... at all distances and intervals. Building that capacity creates a solid foundation to build weightlifting and gymnastics on.
Just found your channel Jason it’s really informative some top content , can you do a video on nutrition and how much you should eat if your following a CrossFit programme
Ash... that is a good question and depends on a lot of variables like: how active is your lifestyle outside of crossfit, how much do you currently weigh, how tall are you, what is your athletic goal, etc. Basically... You need to eat just enough to support your performance, lifestyle and training.
@@JasonGrubb thanks mate , I definitely need to do some research into it sometimes I train twice a day and there’s no way I eat enough to sustain that , great videos btw really informative , good luck this season mate 👍
@@ashcannon3066 Thanks Ash! Happy to help on the nutrition side of things if you're interested! www.jasongrubb.com/nutrition-coaching
Great video! I learned a lot! Thank you!
Thank you Kyle!
What about doing the CrossFit classes? What’s your opinion on this? and a workout xtra session later in the day. I do 20-30 min warm up and 30-40 mobility after and 20 stretch before bedtime.
Hey Craig... I think that's a great plan, if that works for your life and schedule. Sounds like you get a solid warm up for both class and the second session? Plus mobility after?! That's great!
Hi jason your videos get better by time can you show some trainig programs to increase weightlifting
Hey Ozgur - I would recommend Mayhem Programming ruclips.net/video/cnqvjHqlb6U/видео.html
Love the content brother! I will be turning 40 next month, and like you, started late (when I was 38). I did fairly decent in quarterfinals this year and that lit a fire to see how far I can get. I have been doing HWPO programming, but your latest video really made me question if that is appropriate for me. So I’ve been digging into master’s programming and think I like either Mayhem Masters or PRVN Masters. I was curious if you’d be willing to give me your input to help me choose a direction? Keep kicking ass brother!
Hey Brad... I haven't tested PRVN, but I have been with Mayhem for nearly two years. Here's my review of Mayhem specifically: ruclips.net/video/cnqvjHqlb6U/видео.html
@@JasonGrubb Thank you my man, just watched the video… I was already leaning towards Mayhem Masters because of Burgeners Strength, but you definitely sold me the rest of the way! Here’s to some intense training, and I’ll see you in Madison 2023 😉
@@bradjudd7295 See you there!!!!
Excellent video 👍😁 how often should you train at the age of 60?
It depends on your current fitness level Ken... but having an active lifestyle and solid foundation means you could train 5 days a week. I like 3 days on, 1 day off, then 2 days on, then one day off!
Awesome video. I have a question as a masters athlete. Going to the box 4-6 days a week, trying not to cherry-pick the programming. How can you work with the programming since it’s generally created for the best athlete. I have been modifying some workouts but I am also afraid not doing enough and maybe limiting progression. I hope this makes sense and thank you for all your work
Matthew... It all depends on your goals. For being a competitive athlete in the sport, I recommend following competitive programming. And if you're just looking to be a super healthy and fit dude, trust your gym programming and scale when appropriate. Ask your coach specifically about the stimulus of a workout, and then chose the weights/movements appropriate.
For example... If you're doing the workout, FRAN. It should be a 2-5 minute sprint workout. If you can't move that fast with 95# thrusters and pull ups... scale to lighter thrusters and jumping pullups to have a speedy time in the 2-5 minute range.
@@JasonGrubb thank you brother
subscribed. thank you
Thanks for the sub!
I'm looking to find something to track my training but can't decide between the Whoop or Garmin. Which do you find works best?
I like them both!!! LOL So much! But I think the Garmin is more accurate. The Whoop has been really flaky lately (the whoop 4.0) .
Love the video bud! You touched addictions like nicotine/tobacco and you've said multiple times in the past that you have been casually drinking a few beers every night. How did you managed to quit drinking? Any tips, cause i'm struggling with it? Good luck on semis!
Hey Andrey! Good question dude!!! It's hard... but for me it's all about replacing the habit with something else. When I quit alcohol completely last year for 100 days.. I replaced drinks with Topo Chico sparkling water and/or Zevia sparkling water. I drank a lot of them at first to deal with the desire to have a drink. But they helped replace the habit.
Cool video, great info!
Question for you bro, are post-workout shakes recommended as a master?
I use to take "musclemed secret sauce" a couple of years ago.
Now that I am back on training in my 40's not sure if it's something that should be on my daily diet and which one could be cook to take.
Crush it this weekend champ! 💪🏻
Hey Ademir - post workout is lots of water and sometimes a whey protein shake... I also talk about this quite a bit in my supplements video (I have a recovery water that I make for myself): ruclips.net/video/zcpqjsXGiuI/видео.html
I'm 57, been working out for over 40 yrs. I always warm up, do mobility for 30 mins. these last 5 years. if I don't I get injured.
Nice Tommy!!!!
Great content. I'm 62 and still train like I'm 20. I don't feel like I get enough time in the gym even though I work out one and a half hours every other day. My problem is sleep. I can be nodding off to sleep about 10 pm and when my head hits the pillow it sometimes explodes with obsessive thoughts about my day. I write a lot and it seems like my mind wants to think about one small part of what I wrote over and over and over again. I have a dark cold bedroom with two floor fans and a ceiling fan to create white noise. Could you explore better sleep methods? I've tried Wim Hof's deep breathing exercises. That works sometimes but not all the time. I need more tools to get my sleep rankings up. I've only scored Good on my Garmin maybe once a month, fair and poor are the most common sleep score. Thanks
Hey David! I actually struggle with my thoughts exploding too... I created a vide on this with some tips that help me! ruclips.net/video/mYPVbjt2u5E/видео.html
I’m 47 , 250+ lbs out of shape. Is there any hope lol
Of freaking course dude!!
Love it!
So glad!
love this !!
🙌
Hi. Great vid. 3500 is a lot of calories. Please can you give a break down, or even do a video of what exactly you eat to achieve this. Thank you
Will doHey Daniel! Yes... it's a ton of calories. For a specific breakdown for you... shoot me a message. (you can find my phone number in my Instagram profile)
That's all good if you've got the time Jason. Up at half 5am for a 6am class and then straight back home to get ready for work and kids ready for school etc.. I'd be allover if I didn't work full time. 😂
yeah... I work 40-50 hours a week, just around my training schedule which is about 3 hours a day in two sessions.
@@JasonGrubb ah nice one Jason. Thanks for taking the time out to reply to my comment. Your wife must be very understanding! 😂
Anyway, keep the great content coming. You've got alot of fans in my box Crossfit (sweatbox) Dundee. 🏴🏴🏴
@@stephenwilliamson8879 Thanks brother!!!
With your Garmin, I'm assuming you are watching your body battery. What kind of recovery do you get on any average night? 50-60 points? What do you drive the number down to on a normal training day?
I don't really pay attention to the body battery - as I use a Whoop to track my recovery. But as the training week goes on, my recovery tends to drop. Then rebound on recovery and rest days. Especially if I'm eating enough.
Hi Jason, great Video thank you. In the supplementation area, you should consider also some testosterone supporters. I could recommend you to try Fadogia Agrestis and Tongkat Ali complex. Both show significant improvement in the testosterone levels. I know you are not a fan of TRT (nor do I) those are natural boosters.
Hey Nikolay, I appreciate the recommendations... but I really believe that I can get all that I need for my health and performance through quality food and very minimal supplements (as I outlined). But I appreciate it brother.
@@JasonGrubb Both are plants (roots) so consider them as a food 😉
Have to ask?! You mentioned Metcon prior to start your work out with Mayhem Training. Why? Does that not destroy your strength and energy prior to lifting and gymnastics? Also, how many calories are you burning a day to feed 3000+ calories? Lastly, you mentioned 195lbs, how tall are you?
Good questions!!
1. I'm 5'8
2. Not worried about how many calories i'm burning. But my whoop and garmin caculate between 2000-3700 calories burned a day - depending on the day.
3. Mayhem does program metcons before lifting (sometimes) and lifting before metcons (sometimes). You'd be surprised, some of my best lifting days have come after the metcon. My body is primed and cns can be quite activated and ready for solid lifting after metcons.
@@JasonGrubb thank you for the insights brother and congrats in the back to back wins. I want to compete but currently out with a herniated disc. Been back this past month doing metcons and some lifts but can't hip hinge much. Have you ever had disc injury? Would love to learn more about your programming and nutrition once I am a little further along in rehab as I see you work with folks.
I have gained some weight with the injury and have dropped 8lbs this past month training crossfit again and currency 205lbs at 5'10. So calories in and calories out are important to me right now a I want to be sub 200lbs for gymnastics. work.
I've been taking CBD lately to help with my sleep. I've been seeing far more green days than before, as well as only one red day since I've been taking it. About a month. I usually see 3-5 red days a month.
I'm retired military, and my sleep is screwed.
Aiden... yes... your sleep is messed up... Thats fair. But keep experimenting. Find out what works to help you get better sleep. A colder room, better nutrition, more sunlight, etc.
@@JasonGrubb since I retired from the navy, life's been an experiment...lol.
Nutrition is getting pretty dialed in.
Bed time has become a thing, as opposed to being all over the place.
Room is as cold as my wife will let it get. Lol
Just changing little things at a time. Thanks for the tips.
My next one is to spend a bit more time in nature. Considering I own 6 acres of it, shouldn't be too hard I guess.
@@Jordy-927 Yes - get out there in the nature!!!!
Ask siri to play “bring sally up workout” follow prompts doing air squats. Legs are warm.
Oh... for sure. Such a good one.
@Jason Grubb Hi! What’s your take on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for recovery? Thanks..!
Glad I got to answer that in the live last night. It's something I might have to look into!
The advice on protein intake in confusing. I've read it's about 1.2g per kilo of body weight and not pounds and I've read visa versa. And somewhere I found info it's lean weight, i.e. if you're 100kg with 20% body fat, you calculate on 80kg lean weight.
For athletes... I like to keep it simple. 1g per pound of bodyweight. So simple. So for me... around 200g. You can't really eat too much protein (it's really hard to get that much protein anyway). But your'e right.. there is a lot of debate out there. A lot! For me... this has worked great!!
I will attest that Jason does reach out - He did to me , I wish I could take some of his courses but the economy and inflation is kicking my ass. I know and feel that Jason is a good guy and really wants to help people .I want to pay attention to his madness .I am in my 50’s and struggling to stay fit , although I certainly go to the Gym at least 4 or 5 days a week - My gains are slow and recovery is horrible . I am often very sore - My Sleep , well with young kids and a crazy family I can only average 4 hours every night - that’s every night for the last 13 or so straight years and that’s kicking my ass also. Anyway I do hope to make that 20 min call .
Thank you!!!!! And... I just made some changes to the courses by the way. You should take a peek at the new pricing. I want to. make this doable for anyone!!!

Dead bug is the same but laying on your back
Yep!
Most likely im not eating enough. I feel like im always hungry, especially close to bed time.
Yep - you're probably not eating enough. It's super common!
I m 42 93kg cant get weight no matter what i eat.. Pretty fit for my age playing basketball almost all my life mostly weight lifting and running. Having 2 babies now got so much difficulties in my routine but the most annoying thing in my life is the lack of sleep due to work. I m working 24hours swifts and staying all night long until 5.30 am... As a a result i might not recover the next day with 3,4 hours of sleep or even the next day if i have a full day with the kids... I work one day 2 days off.. Dum this is such a problem for me cant solve
Whew... that's a bit brutal!! Really challenging schedule. Have you ever follow a specific nutrition plan? Something that truly helps you get enough food in a day?
@@JasonGrubb to tell you the truth not really.. The past year i ve been trying to get some weight but as always i m stack at 92kg, 192 cm.. Its pretty decent for a 42 year old but cant get big can't get onto schedule. I trying to eat as much as i can and pretty clean like eggs chicken, protein etc like you.. In the end of the day i m ok with size and weight.. The problem is the sleep.. Most of the times after work and 24hours i get the kids to school, sleep from 8 to 12 and them hit the gym!! After i m dead... Kids come back from school and all hell breaks loose 😂
@@JasonGrubb by the way i m from greece and i appreciate so much your reply and your time
Don’t u think CrossFit should have a weight class? U say 195 lbs is a sweet spot for u and that goes for every athlete that has ever won the CrossFit games there between 185-195. No athlete has ever won at 160 for instance or over 215. Maybe one I don’t know but the normal is the 185- 195 weight range. I really like CrossFit but they need weight classes it’s just not fair great topic to debut
I know... Angelo. And agree... I actually competed in a local competition a few years ago that was based on your weight. it was called Pound for Pound competition. So much fun and it felt like it leveled the playing field with weightlifting workouts.
Why are using Whoop AND Garmin. The newer Garmins give more data than Whoop ever could. Trying to understand.
I like to have as much data as possible... it is redundant, but I like to see if there are discrepancies in the reporting.
Nice Job Champ Champ Champ! Crush it next weekend!
Will do Adam!!!
I don't understand why you need so much protein. Optimal intake is 1,6g of high-quality protein per kg bodyweight, so you should be perfectly fine with 130g/day, which is totally achievable with one pound of meat/fish plus whatever low-quality protein comes in through pasta/bread/legumes/nuts (rule of thumb: 2g plant protein roughly equates 1g of high-quality protein), so you shouldn't need that much whey protein supplementation, if at all.
Hey brother... there are various theories on the need for more or less protein as an athlete. The nutritionists I love and learn from recommend close to a gram per pound. Everyone is unique - but this is what works for me.
Jason.. subtitulos en español ¡¡¡
done!
