"Most Hyrox athletes I work with don't have a weak pelvic floor and don't need to train less."
They have a pelvic floor that's tight, reacts late, or takes all the pressure from a held breath. That's a coordination problem, and coordination is trainable.

I work with Hyrox athletes, postpartum athletes, and men with pelvic pain. Most pelvic floor providers don't train athletes, and most coaches don't know what the pelvic floor does under a sandbag. I sit in the middle. If it's happening below your belt, I've probably seen it in my office.
