Where's the subforum where Michael Boyle discusses Michael Boyle's Stool Samples?

His forum reminds me of the "Maestro" Seinfeld episode where George starts using the 3rd person.

"George is getting angry!"

Exactly. When I do a x-fit workout I use it for conditioning. I don't see how it can be used for limit strength training. Last month one of the WODs was to do 7 sets of weighted pullups shooting for the 2RM. That was not a conditioning workout, and in fact was in common with Boyle's approach, where...

Doesn't this imply that he's separating strength training and conditioning? X-fit by design does not. Using the WOD as an example of a workout program following the xfit approach, in August, of the 21 WODs listed, 9 were strength workouts, i.e., no time component. That's probably on the high side f...

Jack, did you read Boyle's last article on T-nation? As an actual S&C coach, I thought he was pretty rational. Not only does he not use anything remotely like X-fit, his priorities actually exclude the possibility of training like X-fitters say they do. He took a lot of crap for it there, but w...

Um, have you watched the videos - their form SUCKS. (one of Mark's many splits from CF) Mark, who I've had some of the most interesing and intense discussions of fitness with I've ever had, has a very different view of Elitness then Couch... I agree the form often sucks in the videos of the WOD whe...

Nafod, Given that Crossfit (tm) (c) is the Ultimate Fitness tool, where are the world class competitiors that Crossfit (tm) (c) has produced? Your words not mine, but what's your point? That eating right, doing full body oly lifts and KB swings etc with a strict adherence to form, doing high intens...

Do your reading. I have defended CF here and at DD, and I'm one of the few, although not only, people who have really done CF "as RXed", as they say, for long enough to speak from experience. I have also written articles for Rob Wolff's mag (CF Norcal) on alternative "black boxes&quo...

So seeing someone who, as far as has ever been demonstrated or seen to my knowledge, diss guys that are REALLY STAYING HARD year after year is complete bullshit. Your argument has emotional appeal, but from a logical standpoint it is weak. A mixture of circumstantial ad hominem and poisoning the we...
