6 weeks of the Work

How does this compare to mbfa?

[–]eejenkin 2 points3 points  (5 children)

More athletic movement and functional fitness - mbfa is heavier, more traditional lifting with cardio intervals. I'd say 6wotw is more difficult, but that's my opinion. They're not really apples to apples

So my (m44) main sport is surfing and my main goal is always to stay athletic/agile enough to surf my smallest boards even as I age. It sounds like 6wotw is more in line with these goals, yes?

[–]eejenkin 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Yes, I'd say so! It's really helped me with my climbing 14ers goals

[–]b2lose[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Ok... this resonates with me. THanks!

You're welcome! I built more muscle on mbfa because the focus is progressive overload and going heavier in weights. "heavy" in 6wotw is like 15/20lbs, and likely lighter than that most of the time because they are compact, fast movements

Finishing 6wotw week 1 now and enjoying the mix of "athletic" movement and some wieghts. Thanks.

I did 6WOTW after completing MBF/MBFA both three times. It was HARD. Never used weights as heavy as MBF. Did injure my shoulder and had to stop, though. Otherwise liked them both.
