Rox Lyfe - The HYROX Podcast CrossFit Games Athlete Coach Talks HYROX (Big Bad Bobby Dee)
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast my guest is Big Bad Bobby Dee (www.instagram.com/BigBadBobbyDee)!
It’s hard to know where to start with telling you more about this amazing guest. From a HYROX perspective, he’s just done his first races at the events in Australia, completing the Melbourne race in the Men’s Pro division in a time of 65minutes at the age of 43 and weighing in at 98kg. He’s done a LOT in his lifetime! He’s ex Australian special forces, played rugby to a very high level, he’s been a bodybuilder, he’s competed in Australia’s strongest man and has worked for several years as a CrossFit coach with many top athletes who have gone to the CrossFit Games. In particular, he has worked with James Newbury, who I recently interviewed on the podcast, as well as Brent Fikowski (who has been to the Games several times, finishing on the podium twice).
We cover so much ground – discussing his CrossFit coaching experiences, his training, his upcoming Ultras (where he plans to complete a fairly astonishing amount of distance in a week), we discuss nutrition, his mindset, his running and amazing strength numbers and lots more. It was a great chat, with a seriously impressive, inspiring athlete and coach and I hope you enjoy it.
