He invented the OHSwing, and named it the American Swing. If you use it, show respect.

Am I missing something here or was love destroyed by the WOD?

"Hi fellow crossfitters,just to report on the sad break up of Neil and Ellie. Had a big burst up last night and now we are no more. 'Fraid it was mostly my fault as I couldn't get it together with the WOD .The worse I got the more Neil got frustrated and the more he shouted and the more I went to pieces. I'll put my poor performance down to familly problems and starting the Zone Diet (I think I overdosed on protein powder).Anyway I'll miss him terribly as he's a very special person and I love him big time. He's also a very talented and knowledgable tainer and always more than willing to answer any queries regarding fitness.Hopefully he'll soon manage over to visit the croosfit gyms and I'm sure that all parties will benefit from the exchange of knowledge and ideas. Look after him for me.Yours in fitness,Ellie.

Dr. Phil could help them work things out.
Or maybe FatCat could.

Contrary to popular IGX belief, anal rape is not a panacea for romantic problems.

Just read in today's comments that some dude is 6'1" and 125 lbs!!!!!

He doesn't need Xfit, he needs Arbys.

There's a reason for this.

I don't want to go into it though, since I think I'm done with the topic, but there is a definite reason.

He's going to be ok. He talks about starting to take creatine soon.

Phenomenal!

Let's see.

Point #1...yeah it's a better position.
Point #2...bullshit...a pathetic statement that has no basis in fact.
Point #3...hard to say, on one hand, laden squats are great for osteoporosis, but on the other hand, both Grimek and Starr had hip replacements.

Also, point #4...looks like he's twisted to one side. Fix that too

Pavel's done significantly better squat corrections in less time. At our RKC they took a 60 year-old who couldn't squat to parallel and had him dropping into a full squat with decent arch in something like 10 minutes.

Shafpocalypse Now · Post by **Shafpocalypse Now** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:09 pm

Yeah, Pavel does some good stuff. I've seen some of it on his tapes.

Fat Cat · Post by **Fat Cat** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:10 pm

Pavel is a professional liar.

DARTH · Post by **DARTH** » Mon May 07, 2007 8:24 pm

Cat, that has not been proven, maybe it looks that way, but proof is needed, and I have a million problems with DD and the RKC and a few with him. Many who are hanging him now, were virtually sucking his dick 2 years ago.
Cotter, Mahler, Maxwell all have legit beefs with the RKC, Pavel and JDC for many reasons, but the reality is it's over buisness and personal shit.

I have seen him watch people and fix their problem on the spot many times. Steve Maxwell said that he is amazed by how quick P could analize and fix peoples little problems.

He knows his shit, training wise, but he hooked up with a Douchbag con man.

Are you talking "Master of Sport" lying or "Tree-swinging Traps" lying?

The tree swinging traps wasn't a lie, I got mine. But if I had published five books with "Master of Sport" on them when I had never received that ranking, I would feel like I had deceived someone. And the bullshit story he spun afterwords through JDC just made it worse; that's like saying "I did all the classwork but didn't pass the official tests, but I am still a doctor. Trust me."
