(You join online groups, compete against ‘em.) I prefer to hammer hard day after day, not chasing the supreme triumph of Florence, but the occasional top of the surf and jiujisu charts.
On the metric Recovery, he goes hard, multiple surfs when it’s green, does light exercise mixed, called active recovery, a little swimming etc, when it’s in the red. Now it’s all we can talk about after we’ve surfed for six hours,” says Florence. “Before that we never thought about heart rate or anything. When they wake up all they talk about is WHOOP! A man whose approach is effortless and fearless.īy using his WHOOP, Florence has already determined the exact amount of days he must enter a hyperbaric chamber before a surfing contest (“On the third day my recovery would go down and then a day after it would shoot back up really high… I made sure I didn’t use it a day before a heat”) and says he talks to middle brother Nathan “all the time” about his WHOOP metrics. Two-time world champ Florence, who has been using WHOOP for three years, is the last custodian of the old way: talk softly, carry a big stick, surf with power and brilliance. ( The WHOOP recovery algorithm tracks four key baseline metrics-resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep and respiratory rate.) Surf, sleep examine breathing and recovery. I would now apply the John John Florence model to my life. No need to go into details again, click here to read that bonanza of genius, but the realisation that strangling other men wasn’t going to have any real world effect, coupled with shock data from my fitness strap that showed the combat sports of jiujitsu and wrestling didn’t come close to surfing for fitness benefits, brought me full circle. Had I spent six days a week learning to operate a vehicle that was already obsolete? The blissful joys of hypoxia and the realisation that twinks raised on surf can roll with bears!Ĭonfession: I was grotesquely complicity in the demonisation of the vulnerable adult learner surfer but through daily suffocation and strangulation learned to find common ground even empathy for VALS. That story followed three previous stories detailing a year of Brazilian jiujitsu.Įxploring the nexus between the art of strangulation and surfing! Was jiujitsu actually gonna work in a surf fight? The last time we spoke, me admitting a fitness strap had become the fulcrum on which my life now rests, the reader outraged we could pivot so hard to an advertorial-combat sports model, I revealed my latest existential crisis. When John John Florence and middle bro Nathan wake up all they can talk about is WHOOP!
