We went hard on this question, "What is the biggest mistake beginners make?" when starting fitness. Matt and I had similar, but slightly different takes, which then lead us into more life talk... so, overall, another pretty normal "not normal" podcast episode!

We love to chat about what’s going on each week, as well as answer any question you have for us. You can ask those when I post for them on my IG stories or email them to me at getthatfusenews@gmail.com This week’s chat: - catching up - Becca is scared about what people are doing out there - BOLT Fantasy Football Questions We Answered: 1.) I would like your advice on 2 things I'm a 26 year old girl, training 5-6 days a week - most of it is CrossFit style, with more emphasis on strength exercises, weightlifting, conditioning and running, and most of the time I fall between L2 and L3. Lately I've noticed myself getting stronger and more fit, but I still feel very stuck Despite my general improvement, my back squat stays pretty much the same and I have no idea how to improve that, and it makes me lose confidence Another thing I struggle with is getting under the bar in Snatches and OHS. I find power snatches easier, and can't get myself to squat under the bar. I believe it's a combination of lack of confidence in the overhead position along with a mental barrier. What's your advice for overcoming that? I see other girls lifting heavy and in my head I know I could do it too, but then I get in front of the barbell and I just can't I find comparison so irrelevant and silly, but I guess I just want to show myself that I can do what I believe I can 2.) What’s your plan for the upcoming CrossFit season? 3.) Has anyone told you you look like Bjork (when she was younger)? 4.) If you were a fruit, which one would you be? 5.) Crash Crucible? 6.) Coach Jen’s Question of the week. If someone gave you a box of all the things you've lost in your life, what would you be most excited to find?
Ummmm... we didn't get to any of your questions on this episode because we talked about many subjects that are prominent in the CrossFit community at the moment.
Semifinals, competitions, what CrossFit is doing right and wrong, and the BIG one, "why are athletes getting burnt out" and not wanting to compete in CrossFit anymore?

We went down a lil different path this week and asked you guys what skills out there are giving you the most trouble. After talking through some of the most popular answers, Matt and Becca get to the hard truth of what it takes to get these difficult skills and to keep progressing in you training and fitness journey! We also made an exciting announcement on episode 20 of the podcast! Enjoy!
We had a busy busy week! We love to be the busy bees that we are, but everyone needs that mental break to reset and recharge. This week on the podcast, I asked you guys to make me laugh with RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS ONLY!! We had a blast and this one was definitely a silly episode! Questions We Answered: Have you ever been too weak/tired to climb down the rope once at the top. How many chickens would it take to overtake/kill an elephant? How old are you? How much snatch could a Becca coach snatch if a Becca coach could coach snatch? Do you calculate protein/dollar value when buying food? Cause I do How many gummy bears can you stack on your chin? What's the biggest animal you could beat in hand to hand combat? How many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth? Have you tried to dance or sing in workout. Specifically with rowing, assault bikes and ski. Why do you need an appointment for a fortune teller? Ever peed your pants while lifting? In a Royal Rumble style free for all fight between all the elite CrossFit athletes who would win? Squatting and letting out loud farts? They use cucumbers for your eyes at a spa. What vegetables make the best toe spacers? What fictional character to you have beef with?
If you’ve ever wonder to yourself if you got everything out of training or a specific workout, you are not alone. On this episode we dive into this week’s training and how we deal with riding the ups and downs of training. Also, got some big “wanting to become a coach talk” going! Listen to it all on this episode! Questions we answered How do you train before a competition (like the week before)? Tips for wanting to become a CrossFit coach? What does it require to become a full time coach? How do you balance coaching and training and not being burnt out? Got any tips for your first year at the games? I’m 14 and hoping to go this year? Would you rather never be able to eat your favorite food again, or have to follow every meal by eating a bite of your least favorite food?
Another episode jam pack of fun and great training information from rest day to dealing with the intimidation factor of gyms. Coach Jen's gives us another fantastically weird questions and BLITZ still hates the Kazoos! Be a part of all of it on this Episode! Questions We Answered: Hey :) First, thanks for making this awesome podcast!! It’s no chill listening to it and I never thought I could enjoy a podcast this much (never really got over the first 5 minutes of others). It‘s a bit of a longer question because of context. So I‘ve been going to crossfit for about 4 months now and LOVE it!! I did lots of sports prior to this and also played Flag Football parallel to crossfit. I‘ve realized that I‘m definitely capable of keeping a good steady pace in Metcons but I got a question concerning upping of weights. Obviously as I just started, I went to an empty bar (35lbs in my gym, dunno if it‘s like this everywhere) most of the time. But lately I‘ve been realizing that I‘m more towards the top of the leaderboard but I‘m still DEAD after the WOD (like I‘m giving it my all kinda dead). Now I decided I‘m going to lift weights in the next Metcon with barbell movements. Do you think it‘s a good strategy I‘m going for here? So like choosing a weight to be more in the middle of the leaderboard until I climbed it and then rise it again? Or what should I look for when deciding to up the weight? I’m kind of new to CrossFit and have built a routine and been consistent for several months. I went to classes and trained hard from Monday to Friday last week. Then I was so sore everywhere on Saturday morning but still decided to go to the class since I like that WOD. However I was too tired to complete it and can only use light weight and more rest time. So I’m wondering should I still go to the class if I know I will be too tired to finish it strong? Or should I just rest and recover to save some energy for next week?
