What is kind of your routine and what do you do? It's
47:05
changed a lot over time, I think.
47:08
The biggest change probably is like the strength and conditioning side, as well as like now by supplementing.
47:15
But growing up in the sport, it was always just gymnastic specific stuff and a lot of overtraining to a degree.
47:22
But I think the issue was with the overtraining was there wasn't the soft surfaces to support.
47:27
Whereas now I don't necessarily think the numbers of repetitions were that wrong.
47:31
on some things some of it was too much but there was no you know and in between it was like do everything on the actual floor when the floor was like concrete versus now like you know you still need to do those reps but do them to the pit if you're gonna land short you're gonna be safe in the foam type of thing um but yeah strength and conditioning was a real game changer for me and they started to bring it into program i would say between london and rio um we had a really great snc coach but it wasn't i can't even lie i didn't take it that seriously because the coaches didn't and And our S&C coach was trying to push that they wanted, like, at least us to be able to set up three times our body weight to replicate landings and impacts and stuff.
