Adaptive Athlete Workouts. The Paint Life Crew Trains With Jedidiah Snelson.

[Applause] [Music] hey this is christy idaho painter here on paint live tv today i got a special guest right here at barry barbell and i got jedediah's nelson with me and it's nelson with an s on the front snelson get it right jedediah snelson and he's going to be running luke and i through a workout he's going to be doing a workout so we're going to learn a little bit about who jedediah is and what he's going to be doing with us today right here in our own gym so i've been fortunate i i've been involved since the inception of the very first game adaptive games or our world championships back in 2016. my so i've been a six-time six times games athlete i've been to uh in that i've i've finished no no lower than second place uh second fittest in the world i'm currently the reigning fittest um seated without hip function um for 2021 so that's absolutely amazing pretty impressive so i mean is there i mean seems like you're the best is there anywhere else you can go well um you know it's one of those things you know when you when you reach the top you've always got a target on your back and you never know who's uh who's going to take it so you just kind of keep fighting for it yeah you've been an amazing ambassador for this sport on crossfit just in general and adaptive athletes which is absolutely amazing so could you like share a little bit you know you did have an accident you got paralyzed in that accident how have you managed to stay so positive and work through this and do what you've done uh well short answer um for me my faith god always has a plan and i believe he has a plan for me in a wheelchair and i believe that plan has been encompassing adaptive crossfit and helping others and so yeah that was just my vision i think the other important thing was i know myself and i think the most important thing from when i had this accident was i'm a very competitive driven person and so if i didn't have something to channel that competitiveness like if i motocross was taken away from me and i didn't find something new the world was going to be pretty bleak and ugly but i was blessed enough that i found adaptive crossfit i have that to be able to channel that competitive drive and uh yeah so it's it's it's been a blessing very cool thanks for sharing that now you're going to be putting luke and i through an imam so we're going to be doing that and um we're going to be watching you work out doing grace so that's going to be pretty cool and so um an imam for anybody that doesn't know what is an imam yeah so emom is means every minute on the minute so it's basically just a uh a style of a workout within crossfit where you're gonna have a certain amount of load or reps for a workout so today we're doing skierg and sandbag and so you'll have that amount of work to do within that minute and then if you get it done quicker you have that rest until the next minute or if it takes you the full minute you'll just go right into that next so every you start at the top of every minute with your next set of reps and uh yeah you kind of in in the way it's set up you build your own rest or you you you can choose to build your address depending on how hard you go yep cool so we're gonna watch you list some heavy weights luke and i are gonna uh trash our lungs and smash our lower back so let's get going and put us through this workout are you enjoying the video so far are you finding it helpful hit the subscribe button hit the notification bell that way you'll get notified every time we come out with more of this free content and now let's get back to the video okay um here we go jed is going to be putting us through this workout and it's an imam right jedi so every minute on the minute i'm going to be doing five reps of a sandbag ground to overhead is that correct ground to shoulder um ground to shoulder with a sandbag it's a 50 pound sandbag and we've kind of messed around with this in order to feel like you do and not having any legs bending over and having the ability to utilize my legs which we would be able to which would be a big advantage i've got them extended out no legs i'm going to try to use no legs and do five so every minute i gotta do five here and then um luke's gonna do 12 calories on the row and he's gonna um i would probably have your legs probably extended out too luke so you don't have any advantage outside the bars there of course we want to replicate exactly what an adaptive athlete has to go through and the challenges they have to go through and what um the number one guy in the world right here has to go through so here we go he's got a timer an imam timer and he's gonna be letting us know every minute what um what's next and it's kind of repetitive but let's get on with it luke so um luke's setting up the skier jedi is setting up the timer and here we go so i feel like this is where this is what's going to make that really hard i didn't feel like that was i'm breathing a little bit but i think this is recovering from this that took him 49 seconds to do that so i think i need to start over again come on chris the calories when the first two went off fast for some reason i usually use my legs a lot doing this come on chris i feel like it's i feel like there's a lot of abs and a lot of lats oh my god i think luke's gonna actually beat me on this one oh well this is not good this is not good the heck i get no rest oh shoot oh my gosh i was hitting like this oh my lads and ass all right there you have it luke and i were just put through the legless workout you know by jedediah i gotta tell you when i first started it i thought it was gonna be um not too bad and and the first set of sandbags was kind of easy and it all went downhill from there and oh my gosh um i was not even hitting 12 calories um after about my first um four sets on the rower i was hitting nines and tens and i cannot believe jed and i he was doing 12s in his workout and his imam was i think you said 30. oh my gosh what a stud um i feel like an old man i guess i am luke smashed it anyways if you guys got any questions or comments please leave it down in the comment
