How do the champions manage their diets? What do you need to eat to achieve your goals? It is crucial for athletes to avoid undereating as it provides the necessary fuel and nutrients to support their training, optimize performance, and promote muscle recovery. Insufficient calorie intake can lead to decreased energy levels, impaired recovery, compromised immune function, and hindered overall athletic progress.

Jason Grubb, a three-time Masters CrossFit Games champion, shares his nutrition and training routine. Weighing in at 203 lbs, Jason consumes 3400 calories per day to fuel his performance.

He starts with his signature bulletproof coffee, a blend of half-caf @BlackRifleCoffee, butter, MCT powder, creatine, and cinnamon.

For breakfast, Jason eats eight egg whites and two full eggs, scrambled, along with two cups of white rice. He also includes in-season fruits for a high carbohydrate intake.

Lunch consists of either chicken and rice or zero-fat high-protein yogurt and bananas.

After intense workouts, dinner includes a pound of ground beef or fish/chicken. The ground beef is made into four hamburger patties, served with cheesy rice.

To meet his caloric needs, Jason occasionally has another meal after dinner or indulges in a small bowl of ice cream.

Whether you’re at home, on the road, or just do not have access to workout equipment, this Physical Friday is just for you. Today we go over the COUNTDOWN WORKOUT. Often called 11s or 21s, all you need for this workout is two exercises!

• Start by doing 10 push-ups. After those 10 reps, do 1 squat.

• Then you will do 9 push-ups and 2 squats.

• Next do 8 push-ups and 3 squats.

• Repeat these steps until you finish with 1 push-up and 10 squats!

If this is too easy, increase the reps to something more challenging (11, 21, 31...)!

In this episode I talk about how to workout when on the road with a little bit of equipment. This workout was borrowed from Dan John, who has a 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge! This is a modified version to get 500 swings in a shorter period of time.

To accomplish this, do the kettlebell swing (Russian or American version) + a pressing exercise. For example: 5 rounds of 10 swings, 1 pushup, 15 swings, 2 pushups, 25 swings, 3 pushups, 50 swings with a 30 second break.
