PhD researcher and WOD Science creator Gommaar D'Hulst joins the Brute Training Podcast to break down what science actually tells us about CrossFit training and where the sport is still flying blind.
We dive into power output, movement efficiency, zone two training, recovery, and why heart rate does not always mean what CrossFitters think it means. Gommaar explains why functional fitness is harder to study than endurance sports and how biomechanics and physiology drive performance more than most people realize.
If you are a coach, competitor, or CrossFitter who wants to understand training beyond vibes, this episode is for you.
