Hello Performance Based,
First time poster.
I have read your posts and logs and you seem to have a completely different mentality in comparison with most people here regarding training specially when it comes to efficiency, workload tolerance, overtraining etc.
Your training looks like a well- structured CrossFit session blended with athletic training AND bodybuilding plus taking measures for making your body more resilient.
Could you elaborate a little bit more on your training philosophy, if you were always trained like this, if you ever did classic bodybuilding training and what made you change your mind and become "performance based" etc?
Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the forum mate - Have to choose my wording fairly carefully here. I guess first let me preface with this, I do not consider bodybuilders athletes - I would say they are artists for sure but their physical capabilities are typically woefully developed (I would almost say hindered in all sincerity by their undertaking).
My given profession requires an exceptionally high level of all around athleticism, the past few years I have been fortunate enough to work with some really fantastic coaches and have really honed my knowledge or at least begun a path that has allowed me to become data driven focusing on metrics that in my opinion really matter.
When you look at a well rounded athlete they need a few things:
Muscular size (not on the level of a bodybuilder) but enough musculature to support a level of strength, plyometric ability, and "durability" to avoid injury
Muscular strength - Neurological connection and the ability to handle stimulus
Aerobic base - ability to perform steady state activities at a fairly high level for up to two hours consistently without the addition of caloric intake nor micro nutrients
Neurological Load - The ability to perform at a high level multiple days in a row without a degradation in performance, also proper movement patterns and general kinesthetic awareness
Metabolic Functioning - the ability to process metabolic waste at a higher level to include lactate as well
I had a large surgery in 2013 and I went from a more traditional bodybuilder/runner to straight power lifting due to physical limitations, that only really lasted a year (maybe a little bit longer).
You mention various things such as efficiency, workload tolerance, over training - these are in all sincerity bodybuilding concepts to maximize the accrual of lean tissue. They have in all sincerity no place in metric based outputs.
