In this episode, Dr. Dan sits down with return guest Sam Burns to discuss "Relative Intensity in Fitness".
Intensity is a key term in the definition of CrossFit (constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity), but making sure each athlete hits the intended stimulus of a workout at the correct relative intensity can be tricky.
Throughout the discussion, they hit on some key points including:
- using weightlifting percentages or repetition maxes as a gauge
- appropriate scaling to maximize intensity
- and they recap results from Coach Sam's proposed workout from Episode 2
