In this video, I explain five different methods to determine your individual Zone 2 training range, from very simple techniques to more advanced lab-based testing. I also discuss the evolving paradigm in CrossFit regarding volume versus intensity and how it affects your mitochondria. If you stick around until the end, you will learn how to use this information to determine if YOU need Zone 2 training based on your CrossFit (or Hyrox level).

    Thank you for your work. I love it! I honestly thought that zone 2 was important for every type of CrossFit athlete. With metcons and high-intensity work, we can improve lactate accumulation tolerance. But how do we improve lactate clearance capacity without training aerobic capacity (cardiac output)?

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science День тому

      Hm, I think you are confusing some concepts here. Lactate clearance happens in slow twitch fibers. They use the lactate as an additional energy source. Lactate is their friend :) The tolerance to 'lactate accumulation' you mention is rather related to the H+ ions that come simultaneously with lactate production (anaerobic system). These H+ ions need to be buffered, otherwise excessive fatigue will build up. Can trained by a combination of low intensity and high intensity workouts. Some supplements such as b-alanine and sodium bicarbonate might help too.

    Hey Doc! Great informative video!! Ive been doing crossfit since 2012 with some hiatus periods, mainly during university (2017-2021). Due to my work and some early bodybuilding injuries, I have some chronic nagging pains. That limits the variety of exercises I can do in my training, so now Ive been more focused on aerobic capacity and improving my ERG capacity. My most recent training plan is based on Mikko Salo's E-book on improving the Mikko's Triangle WOD score. Not sure you're familiar with the WOD but it's a 40min EMOM where the RX goal is to do: Min1 20 cal echo bike Min2 20 cal row Min3 20 cal ski Min4 rest Repeat for 10 rounds How could zone 2 training affect the performance on this workout? Is it enough to improve scores? Are you familiar with Joel Jamieson? He's supposed to be a GOATed coach for MMA athletes, NFL players, NHL... His claims about conditioning and GPP are very based on zone 2 training. I remember watching him talk about a 80/20 split for Low Intensity/High intensity.... and thats for world class MMA fighters... I know the difference between crossfit and other sports is very considerable, but in Endurance sports alone, is this 80/20 split logical? Thanks for your work and sorry about the long text!! 😅

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science День тому

      Thanks for the elaborate question. Yes, zone two could help performance on the Mikko's triangle. Zone 2 will increase your capacity to convert energy aerobically (more mitochondria), which will delay lacate build up at higher intensities (fi during such a workout). The 80/20 split Zone 2 / high-intensity work as suggested is a good starting point.

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science День тому

      I was hoping for this question :). Mixed modal work can be done as zone 2 but only in well-trained atheltes and preferably with a NIRS device strapped around leg and arm. Mainly because such movements are not (less) cyclical by nature which can lead to stronger fluctuations in tissue oxygenation. Basically pushing you over and under the desired threshold continuously. That said, a good starting point would be RPE (2-3) and breathing frequency (talking to your friends) while doing zone 2 mixed modal. FTP can't really be used as a starting point because you do not know the exact watts your are pushing during mixed modal work (there are solutions in the making though, stay tuned!). Better go off rpe and breathing (as mentioned).

      In that specific case you can indeed have some benefit of additional zone 2. The table is mainly for people who want to substitute some of the regular CrossFit volume with Zone 2.

    Great video! I am curious of CrossFit is a good means of improving VLA max. I know VLA max is rarely discussed, but it seems interesting. I’d be curious what physiological adaptations improve VLA max. For example, would training the lactic acid anaerobic system result in improve circulation to improve lactate clearance? Can’t find much info online on this topic, but it seems relevant to CrossFit style training

    • @Lundinvirre
      @Lundinvirre 2 дні тому

      VLA Max is debatabale amongst physiologists. About where it's useful or not. Training high intensity where the anaerobic system contribute more than the aerobic will always produce more lactate than it can be cleared, hence not a good strategy to improve that ability. It's like trying to improve 1RM Squat by putting on 20kg more than your 1RM for a heavy single. That wouldn't work, right? You simply can't train the ability to clear lactate when you put your body in an environment where you have a huge accumulation that exceeds the clearance by far. To train for clearance of lactate, you need to spend time where the production and utilization of lactate as fuel is near equal. It will be around the second boundary that separates the second and third domain (2nd threshold/critical power-speed so to say). Most probably, if you're not a high-level endurance specialist, most will benefit by spending time below that boundary. One method, commonly used, is to alternate between over and under the threshold. So you accumulate lactate spending time above the threshold, and then in interval setup, you lower the intensity and spend time clearing it. Most probably, if you're not an advanced endurance specialist, you will not be able to clear that anyway. So, for Crossfitters, spending time under the threshold will improve the ability to clear lactate because you practicly speaking is improving the threshold itself.

      Roger that, excellent answer. Thanks for clarifying. Had not thought about this interval strategy, have to test it out.

    There's some really good test to detect if all of your training was in aerobic level: Uric acid. Device for 10-20$ can measure it. It's show not current level, but average/integral level of exercise stress

      Its correlated with lactate acid testing

    Hyrox is just CrossFit for people that aren’t that strong. CrossFit is a short lad sport, they program for heavy lifts because they’re a greater spectator event. So short dudes with short levers excel. Hyrox, is for dudes that like run clubs

      Yep, touched on that in the video. You are right for Open-style videos, but for semi-final and Games it seems to be switching in favor for the taller guys. Had to laugh with that last phrase :)

    hey man i like to go the gym 6 days a week. Is it possible to have a high rep interm weight training first 3 days and go for a strenght training the last 3? (3-6 reps heavy weights) thanks!

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science 2 дні тому

      Yep, or alternate? When there is 24h in between, you should be fine.

    Amazing video! Learnt a lot. I’m probably a utilization limited person so will try your suggested training method.

    • @wod-science

      Yes. sprint interval training is hard, but necessary for many athletes. Glad you liked it.

    Love this!! I’m such a nerd for data, this is great. I actually feel better at CrossFit when I’m also doing more aerobic stuff (road cycling/triathlon). Love hyrox too

    Wow! I am so grateful for this information and channel!! There is a lot of information on one or the other type of sports (strength vs endurance), but I am working on the best health possible (so I train for triathlon, doing regular gym workouts and yoga for mobility). This is great!! Thank you! New subscriber here.

    I find it difficult to determine what type of athlete I am most similar to. I think I swim around in some sort of gray area. I am very average in both strength and endurance.

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science 4 дні тому

      Absolutely not to worry. For CrossFit or other hybrid sports, I actually think that is the best starting point as you can improve both at the same time!

  • @gerym341

    Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information. I believe there are some differences when upper body strength training is followed by endurance training, isn't there?

    • @wod-science
      @wod-science 4 дні тому

      Yeah if the the endurance training is predominantly lower body (running, biking), there would be less interference indeed (if upper body strenght is done before). Much more studies needed in that regard though.
