For what group exactly is being "fully oriented while inverted" essential? For me and Sam Fisher, this in an indispensable part of our arsenal against Eastern European terrorist opponents: [img:661:1000]http://www.clantemplates.com/renders/gallery/data/media/107/Splinter-Cell-1.png[/img] ...

I thought Moses was supposed to die before he ever reached the Promised Land.

Are you still with us, Foxy? Or does that angel emoticon mean the soul's left the six-pack?

Don't flatter yourself too much, guys. This thread doesn't even come up on the first ten pages of google entries.

I think people just come back here hoping to be amused. So if this thread proves anything, it's that clueless hope springs forth eternal.

LOL, a Pubmed study has been posted to Irongarmx. The end is most definitely nigh. Although I know that everybody followed the link and pored over the info studiously with pencil in hand, I'll cut and paste it: Non-linear relationship between O2 uptake and power output at high intensities of exercis...

I'm familiar with this, xfit boy. Men who can't squat 300 fucking pounds have no business arguing with people about what may or may not be the best training methods. Run on back to the xfit board where 290 lbs makes you a big leaguer. Shit, a few more lbs and you can be elite maybe. And take fuckin...

The expert on the back squat breaks his silence at last!

If ya'll spent more fucking time squatting instead of pretending that your scientists, MAYBE your max squats would actually exceed 290lbs. Rick If this is directed to me---- Have you seen my train? Do you know how hard I train or how frequently I train? I can count on the fingers of one the hand th...

Jason, You're right mathematically. Nafod contended that useful data can be gathered from measuring power output, and that XF works because it is a system that purports to increase power output, and it increases power output. I'm arguing that power output is not useful data and that insofar as XF an...

Dazed, Are you serious ? WORK equals FORCE x DISTANCE. I doubled the distance because I did TWICE as many reps. Here's an easier example: 1 lap around a standard track equals 400m. I run 1 lap in 1 minute. Now I run 2 laps in 1 minute. I have doubled my workload since I moved the same mass twice th...

OK, I'm not interested in the XF-bashing circle jerk, but I really think that using power output as a measure of workout intensity is misguided. Cross-posted from XF: Discussing instability, IMO, misses what is most problematic about the use of power as a metric. I think you are referring to efficie...

Again.

It's the eternal return of the same...

Yes... Irongarmx:

The classy.

this is a good one. a couple of @fit geniuses who probably pull around 225# get bitchslapped by a teenager.

It's rather pandemic.

LOL. I don't know Mark Rippetoe very well, but my guess is that making the cover of GQ is not his number one priority.

The WFAC is a damn good gym.

-Front squat is no better or safer than back, wide stance, or SSB squat. I wondered about this, myself. I'm not very strong, but I find that at loads that are high for me, it's much more tempting to break front squat technique (let the upper back round) than it is to break back squat technique (let...

! What happened to you, GDG? Bah. Without entertaining the entire @fit community with my symptoms, let's just say I have a really weird vascular problem of unknown cause. Over the past year I've been poked, prodded, scoped, scanned, sampled, and cultured in ways I really didn't need to know existed...

What happened to you, GDG?

LOL!


Regardless of whatever one might think about the argument, you've elevated this to an art form, Jack.

I caught a glimpse of it somehow.

True knowledge.

I have a feeling that I really don't WANT to see the above picture, but can anybody tell me why it just comes up on my browser as a big space with a question mark? This happens a lot. It's Safari, if that makes any difference.

To drop the pin back on the ol' broken record: Isn't a snatch basically just moving a pretty heavy weight really fast? And isn't this a good thing? One could argue about the unique value of the squat under and the successive pulls, and compare these to the unique value of band training, etc., etc......

Super-Secret Agent K, Maybe I took your post the wrong way. My point was that, even though 'Hard Style' does sound like the name of some brokeback nudie mag, it might be the case that GS saps strength, since athletes who were anything but push-overs have suggested that this is the case. Maybe I'm re...
