S02E16 - David Syvertsen - The 2021 CrossFit Open is done. Now what? Part 2

Sam Rhee: [00:00:00] Welcome to another episode of Botox and burpees. I'm Dr. Sam Rhee plastic surgeon and CrossFit coach host of this podcast where we talk about plastic surgery, CrossFit, and everything in between. You can find more information at our website, botoxandburpees.com. And make sure to like, and subscribe wherever you listen to our podcast.

I think when I see the really good conditioned athletes, there's a couple things that they do well, they know their pacing.

Yep. They know their conditioning. Yep. And where they're aware of their condition and the better they get at it. It's one of those chicken and egg things. The better you get at it, the better you get at it. And then they can come back again and again, and work out more often because they can recover better. Which means that they're training better, which means it's snowballs.

David Syvertsen: [00:00:55] Yes. Huge snowball effect. And to the build off that. We, I have a debate with this sometimes with some of my like very fit friends and they're, I don't want to act like I'm right. They're wrong, but I do talk about a pace within a workout.

And I think I'm going to start doing this at bison, where we do a workout. On a Tuesday and the next Thursday we do the same exact workout. And I will take your Tuesday score and tell you to beat that score, but build the pace. Like we just did a 10 round workout on Friday. It was three clean and jerks on the heavy side, six chess bar, nine bar facing burpees.

If I make the gym do that two weeks again, two weeks ago, sorry. In two weeks. And I said, Hey, this was your time. I want you to build a per round paced off that score and beat it. And now you don't need to beat it by two, three minutes, but I want to ask you this right? My, my time in that workout was let's say Aaron was around 15 minutes.

All right. So that's about a minute 30 per round. I can almost guarantee his first round was done 50 seconds. And then you started right away on a second round and it, you get this misnomer in your head that. I am working hard because I'm breathing really heavy. I'm working really hard because I feel like crap mid workout.

And this is something I'm working on with my coach right now. But if I let's keep it to Aaron, if I said, Aaron, do that workout next Tuesday. Every minute 30 start a new round. He might get the same exact score. Which way do you think he'll feel better doing? Yeah. The second way. Absolutely. So what happens when you feel better?

You move better. It's safer, less chance of you getting hurt. And also lastly, it makes you push at the end. Yep. Like you can you can really go after man, I have a lot of extra juice in my legs. Last two rounds. I'm going to sprint to the finish line rather than crawl myself out of the gym to get to the Bay door so I can take off my mask and take a fresh breath of air. So that's the thought I want people to think about in relation to conditioning. And it's not only getting your heart rate up as high as you can, and trying to fight through it and hope that you're going to get to the other side.

Okay. It's thinking about your paces and think about how long certain things take and how do I train that? It's about your approach, like how do you approach a workout mentally prior to starting?

Sam Rhee: [00:03:04] And that's again, a lot of this, some of these things we're talking about, you can do on your own, but some of them you're going to need a little bit of assistance.

David Syvertsen: [00:03:10] Absolutely. Yeah. And again, it's, like right now, like I have a coach right now and it's not because I can't program for myself. It takes a lot of pressure off you to plan it out. Like I'm thinking about doing this, I'm, I don't know when this podcast is going to get released, but I'm thinking about reprogramming that workout from Friday next Tuesday and writing down on the whiteboard.

If you were this time, this is how long your rounds took. If you were this time, this hairline, and I want you to follow that per round until the last three rounds. How do you feel at that point then? Can you push forward from there? Like I'm not going to do that for every member every day, but like at some point you need that kind of, that kind of like the outside voice, the unbiased voice to help you out. And that's where yeah. Extra programming can come in or honestly spend more time on it at home before you come to the gym. How about you spend five minutes less on Instagram and just think about your workouts if you actually care about it that much know.

Sam Rhee: [00:04:06] No, it's funny because that's what we were doing for these open workouts. A lot of them are pacing. A lot of them is per round. Yeah. Calculations. And I saw these athletes so much better once they were like, okay, I want to start this first round and finish it, not in 50 seconds, but a minute

David Syvertsen: [00:04:24] there's not one elite athlete and CrossFit does is not having a very specific pace for each round of the workout. Not one. Hey, if you're trying to get to the games, go for it, have fun. Good luck. We'll help you out. But I'm not saying you have to have that mindset to take in that approach. But why would you not take the practice? The idea of the approach of someone on that level and put it into your own practice?

Because at the end of the day, you're trying to be here, the fittest version of yourself, the healthiest version of yourself, some of you guys, the most competitive version of yourself, there is not one elite athlete that goes into a workout without a pace plan, not one.

Sam Rhee: [00:05:00] All right. So then let's talk about the thing that it seemed like the open tested least, but.

Strength is the strength.

David Syvertsen: [00:05:08] Yep. So that's common, right? Like after the first two weeks, all of our big lifters are like and we're going to get a bar back, no barbell yet. No, no heavy weight, which I get trust me, because there have been a couple of opens in the past where at some point you're moving some serious weight.

Yeah. And I'm going to say this about that. Strength is important. And I do think, and I'm going to give you guys some, subjective my opinion metrics that you should use with the barbell. If you want to make that top 10%, if you want to be a top 10% quarterfinalist I think you need to clean and jerk over two 25, right?

Come in any day and be like, Hey, go clean and jerk 225, go get warmed up and do it. I think you need to snatch over one 75 and one 85. Ooh, these are big numbers here. And I think you need to. I think I don't want to go into the back squat yet, but I would say the Dell, you need to deadlift three 15 for reps, be able to pick it, pick that thing up, back and forth, up and down.

Not because I think they're going to be tested year to year. I have no idea what the tests are going to be a year, but I think all that goes into getting those numbers there.

Sam Rhee: [00:06:11] How about the women's side? Can you give me some numbers for the women?

David Syvertsen: [00:06:14] A good point. So the clean and jerk one 55 for girls. You should be able to get that weight above your head again, not just like on your optimal one, right? Max day. Like any day, if I told you to come in and clean and jerk that you should be able to get that there.

Sam Rhee: [00:06:25] And all these women listening are like,

David Syvertsen: [00:06:28] yeah, I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. And again, if you're not there, you're not screwed.

But you need to be really good in somewhere in some other area. If you can't clean and jerk one 55 women, you need to be able to go bang out. I would say 10 muscle-ups in a minute. Or be able to do, 25 burpees in a minute, rest a minute, and then do it again, like the ability to recover conditioning.

Conditioning-wise and again, you could probably say, Dave, you're making these numbers up in your head and I am right. But it's based off my experience with athletes that I've worked with that have made the top 10%, or, yeah. Numbers that I've seen, people not be able to get. And they on the outside looking in

and I will say this, these numbers seem unattainable to some people, and maybe you will never achieve them, but their goals, you can keep working,

pushing yourself towards you.

Sam Rhee: [00:07:14] You'd be surprised if you can't clean and jerk one 55, how close a lot of athletes could actually get to that. And be like within shouting distance. And that's fine.

David Syvertsen: [00:07:23] It is. And again, if you're close to these numbers and you're good in other areas, you can, again, that's where the CrossFit model is. But again, let's stick with this, right? The one 55 for the. So the women on the clean and jerk the snatch, I think you need to approach one 25. Okay. All right.

And then the Del, if you're approaching two 25, okay. Those are the numbers. I would think Hey, if you can move that kind of weight, that means you're strong enough to be in the top 10%. It's not a rule that you need to lift those. But I'm just saying, if you're not, you gotta be pretty good. You need to make up for somewhere else, right?

Whether it's gymnastics and our engine. You need to have muscle ups. You need to be able to string together. 10 Chessa bars, 10th toes war. I can't do any of that. You're getting overwhelmed right now. You know what? The people that are in the top 10% this year, they couldn't do it at some point either, right?

Sam Rhee: [00:08:09] Yeah. All of the clinics and progressed

David Syvertsen: [00:08:12] up to, and we, w within this sport, There's things that are going to always get exposed. And part of it is luck of the draw. And I don't ever want to come across as someone like that. I have all this, right? This year, if there was a high volume pistol workout, I might be screwed.

Like we all have our weaknesses and they might get exposed in the open. So if you're out there being like, I can't lift those weights, maybe it doesn't, maybe it's not a big deal this year. Honestly, it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. If you were really good at moving your body weight this year, you were good at double unders you were good at gymnastics, a crappy lift at the end of the open, you probably still would have been fine, but I still think these are numbers that you should have in the back of your head.

That if you can become well-versed with those barbell numbers, you can do it. So again, we're talking about the strength component of cross it right now. We already talked about conditioning. We already talked about moving your body if you want to be competitively strong, those are the numbers I think you need to do.

Sam Rhee: [00:09:07] You also mentioned, we talked about this before the workout or before the podcast getting more comfortable at moving medium weight. So that's what everyone can do, right?

David Syvertsen: [00:09:16] Exactly. Like a 95 pounds, 95, 65 thruster. Some look at that as I'm going to get buried by that's a medium weight. So just know I think it's, it helps a CrossFitter to know what is a medium weight for each lift.

All right. And again, ask a coach. If you're around a seasoned coach has been around this for a long times. They can tell you what a medium weight is for every lift they should be able to. Right now, there are, again, this is getting how you're built. If you have, if you're a slow Twitch dominant, you're. More likely to be able to move 80 to 90% of your weight for multiple reps over and over.

Where if you're more fast twitched dependent, you would have a really hard time moving 80 to 90% example from legends. Let's talk about that kid, Dustin, right? That kid cleaners are three 65. He got buried by two 25 thruster. And that happens right where I bet his one Rhee. He can't move.

Heavy thrusters back and back over and over again when he's tired, but he could probably move a one rep max weight. He's a fast switch dependent athlete, right? Where a lot of CrossFitters in this gym are a little more slow Twitch where you get to the point where you can move 80 to 90% of your weight over and workout.

That's more important in the sport when it comes to the open. So

Sam Rhee: [00:10:31] let's pose your. A woman who has sees 65 pound thrusters program. And you're like, I can do them, but I'm not going to cry. Get time capped on this. Yeah. I'm just going to go with 65 or 55. I know. I'll go quickly. I can get through it.

Should I start thinking, you know what, I'm going to challenge myself and move myself up in weight?

David Syvertsen: [00:10:51] Yeah. Yeah. I, and again, it really depends on the person the time of year. And what the workout is, but I think that if you're in this crossroads of should I RX this workout or not? And it's designed to be a medium weight, I would always say push on the heavier side, get comfortable with that weight.

Okay. But also throughout the year, try to get as strong as you can, don't skip the squat day because you don't like squats. Don't skip the squawking day because tomorrow is a really high pace energy. It, this is where it becomes an individualized situation, right? If I had. If Susan had a goal that she wants to bang out 65 thrusts over 65 pound thrusts or workouts all day, any day, whatever the workout is, I'm going to bang those out.

My approach with her would be different than Dave Boak, who can do the 95 pound thruster with one arm without thinking anything about it.

Sam Rhee: [00:11:43] I'm just thinking of a lot of the women who actually have very good strength capability. But because they want to get through the workout quickly, right?

You don't want to get time caps. So instead of doing 95 pound hang cleans, there'll be 85 and they'll just get through it quickly. They get a bunch of rounds in and they get a decent score as opposed to going heavy because the guys tend to go heavy anyway. Yeah. Yeah. He goes so forth. Yeah. It's the women that I feel are very capable.

Absolutely. But because of either confidence issues or what they're afraid will be put up onto the whiteboard. It doesn't really matter. It's scaled if I can't hit 115 clean and jerk anyway. So who cares if I do 85? Yep.

David Syvertsen: [00:12:30] It's so when it comes to moving barbells. Again, this is so individualized.

Like I'm trying to think about five different people in our gym that right now that are in this situation. And I really do think it's got to come down to the individual and what their goal is, right? If your goal is this top 10%, and we just gave you some numbers that you need to hit, and if you're being legitimate, Hey, this is my goal.

I want to hit. I want to get to the top 10% next year, two years, three years then. And if you're not strong enough to hit those weights that we talked about, your training should be strength biased. No, like we're giving you the minimums. We're not giving you the maximums. We're giving me the minimums.

If you're not at the minimum yet you need to hit those strings. You need to start hitting those strength numbers. So yes, when you have, when you're at a crossroads, You should go on there on the strength bias side, not the fast time side, not the conditioning component. All right. And I think there are a lot of people in this gym.

I've been reminded by several women in our gym that this is a chick gym based on how many women made the qualifier and the men did not. Man, there's a challenge for you next year. But, and again, is this a gender issue where like guys like to go heavy on girls that go to lighter? I'm not going down that rabbit hole.

But what I do think is you need to know what is your goal? This is where I, whether it's next level or bison or my friends I want to know your goal. I really, I passionately I want to know what your goal is. If you don't tell me what you want to do. We had one of our youngest members come up to me.

One of our youngest, one of our 10 youngest members come up to me about, I'd say about four weeks ago. It says, Hey, I want to do this with this sport. What can I do to get there? And we're talking about a three-year project. All right. Not your January 1st new year's resolution. I hope I have this shit by the open.

All right. That person right there is going to get there because of that approach. But it's also because she came up and told me it's really hard to tell someone your goal sometimes why. Because you're embarrassed that if you don't get there, someone else is going to know that you didn't achieve something that you want to achieve.

And that's I've noticed that as a coach, that I actually liked to tell other people my goal, because it makes me stay accountable and it scares the shit out of me. I get embarrassed sometimes, but I want the person to come in Hey, this is my goal. If your goal is to get to the top 10% and you're not strong enough, the numbers we just talked about, you have, you need to strike bias in your training.

Sam Rhee: [00:14:51] You also mentioned non barbell strength. Yep. So describe to me a little bit more about that.

David Syvertsen: [00:14:57] So when we talk about strength it's always associated with the barbell, the dumbbells. What about Shrek? Pull-ups shorthand, sand pushups, dips. Like we do those, I would say we're in a strict in Nasonex mode.

I'd say on average, once every two weeks there are stretches where it is every week. And I can tell you right now, It's frustrating because you're trying so hard and you're not moving. I'm talking about, some people on the shirt pole, they, they get up there. It takes them forever, and they can barely get up there.

And it's not fun. It's agitating someone next to you is moving fast. And then you're like, you know what? Screw that. I'm going to go to the ring Rose. That is strength training right there. Your midline, when we do this hollow rocks, the way did hollow rocks, the arch holes, even our warmups, right?

If you don't have gymnastics strength, You're not going to get better at muscle-ups. It's not like muscle ups is not, you just trying harder, kicking harder, pulling harder, like you gotta get your position stronger. I really think that strength training goes so far beyond the barbell. But it's not as fun and it's not as sexy and it doesn't look as cool on social media.

And you don't get these big numbers next year, that next year name on the whiteboard that it's overlooked, but I'm telling you right now, we have some strong athletes in this gym that can move big time, weight, that they don't have enough. They can't move their bodies well in gymnastics and it's because they don't put the same thought intensity into those movements.

And Hey, I'll also take the responsibility as a coach and programmer. I need to do a better job at programming work for them or giving them some help. I think every coach should feel a little bit pressure. I

Sam Rhee: [00:16:33] will say this. I feel like most athletes cause you do program enough. Strengthened my mind that the non barbell type strength, if you actually come to the non-fun yeah. Wads, where you're doing the dumbbell rows and the strict pull ups and see depressed and all of those. If you do that over the course of a year. Yeah. You're going to get stronger.

David Syvertsen: [00:16:57] No, it doesn't work. Starting it in February. Yeah, a month before the open, it doesn't work.

No. Long-term project it's and this is why we're doing this podcast. The timing of this is crucial guys. If you're at, if you're at home right now, listening to this and you, this is speaking to a little bit. You're 10 months from now. There are, there's so much good. That can happen in 10 months, but it's not going to happen if you wait till January, February.

So I, I want everyone to know that's where we're coming from. Sometimes when we talk like this, I don't ever want to come across as condescending, but it just won't work if you wait until January, February. So

Sam Rhee: [00:17:29] then what are some of the plans that you might make now? Say, you know what, I'm going to come to more Wednesdays.

Yeah. I'm going to make sure I don't skip this type of workout that I know I need.

David Syvertsen: [00:17:39] So right now, like it, the, again, this is individualized. I would say this, if you're, if one of those topics spoke to you, move your body get better conditioning, get stronger, right? The one that speaks you to the most or the one that you know, is the one that you struggle with the most, you have to get to the gym on the days where those are tested, are trained, I should say, not tested.

And that means you should also like if you're already moving those weights that we just talked about with ease, I'm not going to tell you to not get stronger there. Always stay on top of it, but I better not see you on those days and not see you on the ones that you struggle with, because that's that's just like a sign that you you just want to, you just want to chill.

You're happy with where you're at. You're content, and if you are good for you, but again, we're talking to people right now that want to take their game to a higher level. Hey, I'm on the outside looking in the top of 10%. What do you struggle with, I know. Of a guy right now.

Like he destroys everybody, weight, workout, every running workout, every jump rope workout. He walks in with this demeanor on those days. Like he was going to dominate the gym right on the strength days, slouching quiet. And I'm not telling you that. I don't want to tell someone how to act. I want to help you approach the workouts, the correct way.

Be excited about the days that you struggle with, because that. Is the door that you need to open to get to the, whatever your goal is for the, in regards to the open. If you don't walk through that door, you're not going to get, you're not going to get there. You're gonna be filled with hope. I hope it doesn't work.

Sam Rhee: [00:19:10] It speaks to me in the sense that when, you come to the gym and you put yourself through it because you want to get better. Of course we should enjoy our strengths because we all have absolutely. Ultimately how much better are you going to get enjoying your strengths versus right.

Shoring up and working on your

David Syvertsen: [00:19:29] CrossFit performance is your goal, right? And this is something we'll dive into down the road a little bit like health, first health verse performance. But if you want to perform better you can't ignore the weaknesses. You can't ignore what you're bad at because it's always going to be there.

It's just always like those strengths list. It's going to pop up every year. I told a few guys here already, since the opening, I was like, Oh, you want to get to the top 10% a year? All let's work on it. That lifts needs to be better next year. It has to be. And that might take you a full year of strength training, or other people like, Hey Rhee, I really want to get to the top 10%. All right. That wall walk, workout. You have to get better at that stuff. If you hope something like that, doesn't pop up, good luck and.

Sam Rhee: [00:20:11] I know a lot of people will be motivated just to get to do the T to try to attain the top 10%, just for the sake of getting to be at the top 10%.

But I will tell you this, just shooting for it will make you a healthier person. Absolutely. I, if you believe in the CrossFit methodology, which I do, you do being a better CrossFit athlete makes you. A healthier person, absolutely. A top an awesome runner does not necessarily make you a healthier person

David Syvertsen: [00:20:40] than the bike

Sam Rhee: [00:20:41] Or any of these single powerlifter you know, single modalities.

And so if you're a great runner, you're great at gymnastics and you suck at, lifts then, How are you going to be a healthier person by running better by doing gymnastics better? Yeah. It's working on your weaknesses because that's not just going to help you shoot into the top 10%.

It's going to make you a stronger, healthier person and vice versa. If you are awesome lifter and you have problems with body weight movements or with your medium to long aerobic capacity, right? Is a power lifter who deadlifts 600 pounds. Super healthy person. Yeah. Not particularly not if that powerlifter can also run a mile within a decent time.

Yeah. Can do Murph. Yeah. And we have great lifters, but they can also do bar muscle ups and they also have greater aerobic capacity. Are they healthy? Absolutely. They're healthy. And those are the ones that are going to shoot for the 10%. Yeah. How do you keep the passion or the fun? In training because we're talking super serious, right.

In order to enjoy it for the whole year. Yeah.

David Syvertsen: [00:21:46] No, this is a side gig for pretty much everybody. This is a very small part of a life. Even though you come here every day or four days, we fight it, we're, I'm fully aware this is a side gate for most people. This is not something that they're thinking about the way I think about it.

Or you think about it, how do you keep the fun in it? Find people that you enjoy being around. I think that's why we're at bison. Yeah. Yeah. Find people that you can, you don't have to be friends with them. You don't need to text each other all day. But there are people that I come here and I like working out with them.

I wake up at times. I don't want to wake up at, because I want to work out with them and It keeps like the fire lit, like I know like when I'm really struggling, it's usually because I'm working out by myself too much and that's part of what I had to do right now. But I know that if you can find some people that, and it doesn't have to be this one person to be both of, you can find some people that you can relate with and you work hard when you're around them, make that, we try to make some fun events here, whether it's the open, the bison bowl, some local competitions I think it's really smart for people that have a competitive goal such as the top 10%.

To find a local comp once or twice a year to keep the fire burning, put yourself in an uncomfortable environment and just, it makes you stay honest with your training. And at the end of the day, like we are, this is a pretty serious conversation that this is supposed to be fun. And I think that's partially on the coach's responsibility to make sure it's not too drill Sergeant , but also, joke around and talk to each other.

But. Just know that nothing about this really defines you. If you get to the top 10% or not no, one's really going to remember in a couple of years, I think it's something for you. But I think you are going to remember, and you are going to feel how healthy you are two, three years from now and just know this is an all encompassing thing.

I think you're right. It's a side gig for most people, but we as coaches care a lot about every athlete. Yeah.

When I say side gig, I'm talking about the members, coaches okay, it's just the coaches like that is their job.

Sam Rhee: [00:23:35] For the athletes here they're coming in just to work out. Yes. But they should take comfort in the fact that the coaches absolutely are taking everyone's performance versus seriously.

David Syvertsen: [00:23:46] I almost want why we talk this way. Yes. And I wish we could, I would never, but I wish we could show some like messages that we have between each other about us and also the other coaches, our coaches, text chain about just people that like, if we didn't care about you guys, like we. Things would be very different here.

And I think we want their success as much as they want it. If not more.

Sam Rhee: [00:24:09] And success means improved improvement. Yes. Improved health. That's why I love the 6:00 AM class that I go to most regularly. You're right. I don't necessarily hang out with them every weekend, but when I see them and we're like working out next to each other, it's awesome.

David Syvertsen: [00:24:24] I had someone, the other, I had one of our top athletes here. Tell me the other day. He's thanks for putting me next to this person. It like, it made a huge difference. And you don't even this is what we talked about. Saturday partner workouts. Some people don't even realize like how much thought goes into that, who you're next to, who you're across from and how much it impacts, how hard you work.

And that's, it's fun. And you walk out of here with your head high and be like, dude, I just did something that most people can't do.

Sam Rhee: [00:24:51] Absolutely. And I know this is a really serious talk. But if you care about your fitness, we care about your fitness and you want to do better

David Syvertsen: [00:25:01] than it's going to happen. It's going to happen.

Sam Rhee: [00:25:03] It's going to happen with the community that we have. This is where we dive deep. And if you take it half seriously. Yeah. We'll see how much progress you can make and using the open, using your goals for the open. Yep. Starting your plans now. And like you said, it's just as much about. Putting a little bit of thought into it. Not cherry picking your workouts. Being coachable. Yeah. All those things and which most of our athletes really do. Yeah, absolutely. And I think we've seen a lot of progress with a lot of our athletes in terms of open year to year. Absolutely. It's a little different this year because of how it was set up, but that means it clarifies our focus because now you're right now, we have the opportunity for these, all our athletes to make it to the top 10%. So of course, we're going to be pushing our athletes crazy hard to try to make it's going to make them better. It gives them something to work on, if if they take it half seriously, they can do it.

David Syvertsen: [00:26:03] It just might not be next year. It might not be the year after, but there's no question. I'm looking at some of the people that made it this year. If you told them three years ago, like you could make top percent. I wouldn't believe it. They wouldn't believe it.

Sam Rhee: [00:26:14] I would remember my first year cleaning 135 was a big f-ing deal. Yeah. Big deal.

David Syvertsen: [00:26:20] As a real life example, you don't have some like professional sport background that like, you just worked hard and you stayed consistent. We try so hard to come up with all these detailed strategies to help people out.

Like it's so simple, stay consistent, stay dedicated and pay attention to what you're doing outside the gym. That's why I think the top 10% is so attainable for literally every single person. You just don't get to decide when, but you do get to decide if it's going to happen. And that's it.
