Hello and welcome to The Progress Theory where we discuss how to implement scientific principles to optimise human performance. I am Dr Phil Price and in today's episode we have S&C coach and host of Upside Strength, Sean Seale.

I’ve always wanted to know what separates those who reach the podium of the Crossfit games vs the rest of the field or even those that only make the sanctional level. One of the areas that could be underdeveloped is their aerobic system, as this will directly influence their ability to recover and their ability to perform large volumes of training. Also, these athletes, without realising it, could be respiratoryly limited. Well, what does that mean, and how can we train our respiratory system?
