Maybe you could have a short video explaining about different Crossfit variants ? What is Mayham Masters? What's different from others like Normal Crossfit? Crossfit Legends? New to crossfit I have no clue what's what. Like a little introduction into Crossfit competition ? I would like to follow some program, but how does one know what should they choose.

@JasonGrubb

Great idea Valdis! I forget sometimes that not everyone knows all the lingo and how to dive into the deep end of competition. A quick answer is that Mayham Masters is specific programming ffrom CrossFit Mayham for older athletes and it has different skill/fitness levels built in. It’s the track I use personally. I’d say normal CrossFit is whatever your CrossFit gym (box) is programming. So depending if you’re training solo or at a gym… looking to compete or just achieve solid fitness… you’d have different options. CrossFit Legends is a large masters competition held every year. Hope that helps and I’ll remember to explain more in future videos!

Thank you for your content. Love the fact you address steroids or drug enhancements and totally against it.

Hey Jason, I watched a few videos of yours. I sincerely believe you love what you do. So my suggestion, not waiting for some authority especially if you are willing to pay for tests as well. For each step in competition, have your tests and put them on somewhere public. And if you want you can open a crowdfunding for clear, honest, fair games. Be a total different layer of inspiration.

Respectfully, I find it hard to believe you are not on dr prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. Which puts you in “normal range” but your levels never crash. Which does make it a PED and is why MMA has banned it. Which I am aware CrossFit allows if you have the medical documentation.

People always find it impossible to believe that if you eat great and workout a ton , you can get ripped. Almost anyone can it just takes work and consistently.

You don't. I've never been in a huge caloric deficit. That's not the way to go.

I"m no elite athlete, arguably, I'm not an athlete at all. I work out consistently and am going to do the Anaheim Hyrox (open division). I'm 69 years old, will be 70 in July and I take 300 mg of testosterone per week as prescribed by my doctor. I have no idea if that would DQ me from crossfit competition or, for the matter of that, from Hyrox. But I'm about s far from being a candidate for testing as can be imagined. I don't know how you'd look at it but at this dosage, my age, and with the prescription, I don't consider that I'm actually using performance enhancing drugs.

Hey Jason. I have never taken anything, but I think there is no problem with guys in their 40s or over who are losing test production and want to take TRT. Some people are blessed with the ability to keep their test levels into their 50s and 60s, but others suffer from depressed levels. I see no problem in them taking test to bring them back to "normal" levels and even compete. Just my 2 cents 😄

Rice is food not supplement

@JasonGrubb

2 жыл бұрын

All food is food... i just think of it as supplemental to the more nutrient dense carbs I try to get through fruit and veggies.

This is either awesome or the most outrageous low character fraud imaginable. Or just a stupid test. Imagine a man who is 47 who believes you, supports you, and thus thinks that if he can simply eat more, sleep enough, and train hard/smart, he can also achieve huge gains. So he follows to a T, and yet falls woefully short given he is not boosting his T and EPO. Then he feels like a total failure, lost. That would be really sad, yet it happens when athletes lie about their use. Yet I understand it; it's war, life or death, sponsorship money on the line, so I suppose you have to say what you have to say, and let it be a stupid test to those that want to believe. That said, Jason, I actually believe you. And this is a revelation. I never thought at this age one could be elite without boosting their levels. You mean to tell me I have a chance?
