Pendlay announced she's part of the MDUSA team. I don't know if that means she moved there or not.

It's a shame. A woman winning the games with sound strength coaching would do wonders for Glenn and real sport science in the eyes of @fitters.Shafpocalypse Now wrote:Just reviewed, I guess you're right, still training under the Christian Rock LimpBizkit clone douche.
When I met her, she took instruction well, wanted to test her limits, but the douchebag held her back. I wonder when she'll realize that he's just using her for his own kicks.

Re: The couch thread
I would love it if all the "I never worked out before" people would just come out and admit that "I never worked out before" means "I never played a non-professionnal or relatively advanced sport before".

I had someone tell me a few weeks ago that they were going to open up about a bunch of stuff, but held off. I don't know if this is the same, Jay.

Some study looking at what happens when you take some novices and put them on Crossfit and paleo for 10 weeks. Results: novice effect + diet effect, so they lose fat and gain muscle. Yay. But 16% drop out from injury. 16%! In 10 weeks! From overuse injury. And this was with supervision and whatever. In fact, very good supervision:

Anybody here read exercise science literature and can tell me what a typical dropout rate for injury is in a 10 week study? Not just injury rate, dropout due to injury.All of the workouts were performed at a CrossFit affiliate under the supervision of a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and an ACSM certified registered clinical exercise physiologist.

But most studies they only do leg extensions and shit.
