Was just coming to say this. I’m still a huge skeptic, but after engaging with Alex via social media kinda hope they do better than I think they will. He doesn’t come off nearly as cocky as she does.
Agree with this 100%. Based on the comments about him, viewing some of his social media and the pictures people posted of him here, I had a pretty bad preconceived notion about him. I’m also a huge skeptic.
But I have found some of his commentary yesterday and today to be much more engaging than I expected and have turned a bit.
He also addressed the “deadlifts” talk and basically snuffed that out. Which is good.
What do you mean he sniffed out the deadlift talk?
She posted pics of herself doing deadlifts this AMAZING
This is what he said:
“Alex Viada Yeah, that was not well represented in interviews. The “lifting” is going to be some band activation work, light work focusing on the upper back, then perhaps some lower body light circuits along the lines of body weight lunges and lightly loaded abduction and clams. The objective is to keep blood flowing, hopefully keep some of those muscles that have been cramped on the bike and more or less immobile during the run working and loose. There’s going to be no heavy deadlifting or squatting at any point during this event.
Hopefully I get to address this in the blog, because that’s something I’ve been slamming my head against the desk about”
At least it’s less crazy talk than the idea she was going to be dead lifting like an Olympian.
