    Z, what type of cardio (metcon whatever you want to call it) are you doing these days? I know when you trained for SEALfit camp you were a cardio fiend.

      Nick prepping for SEALFit was a totally different animal

      Currently, thanks to all my running and bad mechanics w/left foot I am cleaning up some achilles, ankle and foot issues

      But a CFF met con might look like this AFTER a heavy lift:

      CrossFit Disco

      10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, reps of:

      Power Cleans @ 75% of body weight
      Pull Ups

      Or, something like this:

      9 Minutes x MAX Work of

      A) Sled Sprint x 100 ft
      B) KB Swings x 10
      C) Double KB Clean & Press x 5
      D) Sledge Hammer Strikes x 20 (switch top hand after 10)

    Really liked this- i had not heard too much about Crossfit Football. Something tells me this would be a safer investment to open then a solo (non affiliated) warehouse gym- piggybacking on the CF brand.
    Thoughts?

      Jeff I think what’s important is that this is a training system, NOT a business system

      CrossFit IS MAIN stream now and although ea box is different, sure, U have haters but ya gotta do what you believe in vs following a herd for the sake of being a sheep

      What do YOU believe in?

    Great Interview BiG Z! Last year I had a football coach mention it and that his guys liked it so I looked into it for training. Interesting stuff. It isn’t exactly like the way I train, but pretty close. That made it a very easy transition from the Crossfit Football system to mine.
    I really enjoyed his intensity!
    The “Bodybuilding” world and everything about it made me laugh! So real, and so funny!

        Always! Are you doing Level 2 certs or has that been moved to mentorship?

    Got a lot out of this one, Z!
    We definitely are a strength-based gym, but want to keep overall athleticism up as well.
    Most of what I was not good at was due to not being strong enough for certain movements and exercises.
    I am passionate about building strength and developing impeccable technique. Strength drives all human movement and I like how John incorporates strength-building.
    I refuse to run a “cookie cutter” gym doing what everyone else is doing.
