Small laugh at those who still believe the HQ vs. Wolf throwdown was caused by a disagreement over diets.

It's like he just types three syllable words without caring if they make any fucking sense.

LOL at Appropo.

Barry, if you want to use smart person words, get an actual smart person to proofread your post before submitting.

A blast from the past, but I remembered Dave Castro being the guy behind this elite workout:

He seems proud of his Level 1 Battling Ropes certification. I wonder what deep secrets of tossing a rope around you can pick up at the level 2 and 3 certs?

That's a good question, and it speaks to the difference between so-called innate or native knowledge knowledge and scientific knowledge with replicable methods and results. Why do a quasi-blinded randomized experiment? I can think of about five reasons. 1) Removing preferences and biases. 2) Establ...

Decent technique is automatic if you row without straps.

They're going to run 100 miles never running over 50? I don't bother following CFE much, Twight's claim that the you lose the adaptations for ultra-endurance work slowly, and that it negatively impacts performance eventually is propped up quite a bit by Issurin's work. This page gives an overview o...

Two, I get the idea that the RRG is not going to even consider settling a rhabdo case (for fear that it will encourage more rhabdo suits and settlements). I think this is one of the main ideas behind the RRG. Faced with a rhabdo suit, a real insurance company would just settle for a few bucks, then...

If you've read any of Caviston's stuff on the Concept2 forum, you'll know that he's not afraid to wade into an argument, and he can back up what he says with real knowledge, both book stuff and personal experience. Glassman better hope that Caviston takes the high road, or he's about to get the emot...

I mostly gave up on the PM after the thread on the dangers of chewing sugarless gum.

Notice how these guys get their dicks in a twist because of an argument about fat people walking. Entirely too high strung for IGX.

It's always been Glassman's goal to get thousands of people doing CrossFit -- whether they want to or not.

Since the military has chosen not to turn their entire PT program over to him, look for couch to make high school coaches his new focus.

The very last image in that Word document shows the user logged in as George Mounce. Does he nurse a hidden grudge?

The author says the NTOA do not (sic, moron go back to high school and retake English) endorse CrossFit. Maybe they ought to read the NTOA Journal which has written in their Journal one of the most complimentary pieces on CF I've seen. Writing Tip: If you're going to call someone out for making gra...

GPP is the most neglected aspect of athletic training, especially in the elite athlete. Isn't this self-evidently true? Of course elite athletes neglect general conditioning -- they have limited time and energy, and they spend it doing specific training for the thing that makes them elite. If you'r...

But can Mark Rippetoe and Dave Tate coexist in the same organization?

Will everyone who asks a question about barbells now be told to do Starting Strength for 3 months, then switch to Westside?

We need to beat down "work capacity across broad time and modal domains." This is classic Glassmanian pseudoscience. It sounds like a good, rigorous measure, but really, it doesn't mean anything and you can't measure it anyway. Calculating mechanical work for exercise movements is notoriou...

fitness is best defined as work capacity across broad time and modal domains

Because squatting 500x1 is the same as squatting 100x5 really fast.

kitosho wrote:the words "efficacy" and "neuroendocrine" repeated many, many times

Don't forget "modal."

Waterbury probably e-mailed Shaf just to keep him updated.

My wife and I have had this DVD since last year and it's been our primary yoga source since we got it. The main feature is the "Yoga Matrix" that allows you to sequence any of the routines in any order. Most of the segments are 5-15 minutes in length and focus on one particular family of p...

CrossFit dating scene: brief, intense, constantly varied.
