FGB
It's been a long time since I posted the results of a workout. But I feel that it's time to let you, my faithful readers (reader? anyone?) that I just posted a solid 367 on Fight Gone Bad. Certainly, you may think, that that's not a terribly great score. Solid, certainly no disrespect, but not a score to put n the history books. To which I will reply, "Go fuck yourself." This score comes after strictly strength training for a year, a two week hiatus and working off of the CFFB site for just a couple of weeks. My time modalities aren't 15 minutes of work, rather they are in 15 second range. This is a big deal. This implies, at least through the small test sample of one, that training for strength my be the most important inlier for metcon success. Put it this way: if 75# seems light to you, you can do more reps. If you are used to cleaning 275# then 75# SDHP's are a breeze. This isn't to say that a typical intense workout in the 20 minute range all the way through 180 minutes should never be done nor does it have benefits, but I would argue that increases in strength can't hamper those abilities and should be done more frequently to gain strength and maintain metcon "awareness."
