Hyrox & Dekafit Training

When I first saw Hyrox, I thought, "This is what I have been waiting for my entire athlete career." I thought I'd be an instant success.
I was wrong.
My first few attempts were humbling.
I went to the lab and got to work, I applied the principles, I have learned in my 10+ years as an endurance coach, CrossFit coach, and personal trainer.
I got stronger, better at the movements, and stayed fast. I added 40 lbs to my squat and deadlift and dropped 7 minutes from my time in just over 6 months, going from 1:07:22 to 1:00:35 and a 7th place finish at the Elite World Championships in Las Vegas.
As a result, I learned what work moves the needle and what is a waste of time. Now I've applied these methods to each workout in this group.
The last thing you should know is this group of athletes is not f#cking around.
Everyone in this group is willing to see if they have what it takes.
This program is HARD and it works.
