The couch thread

[Danny John]

Wait, pulled a 305 deadlift? For a girl, that would put her Number Four on our list at the high school this year. I have always had a tragically altered concept of elite: you should be at least as good as a typical high school athlete to call yourself "elite." We have 790 kids at our school and we are very small compared to most high schools, so I can only imagine that at Hunter High School with Kim Goss coaching dozens of females over 135 and 155 in the clean, he must have an large number with mid 300 DLs.

Seriously, when I see the venom about this form of training and how it develops the premiere athletes on the planet, I just wonder how it matches up with a typical larger high school. Last year, I had a sophomore bench 385 and a senior clean 315 for a double, lifts that are remarkable, yet oddly normal for top end football players. I'm just wondering (out loud, I guess) if people realize that the concept of elite is so much higher than what is going on at the local spa.

Yeah, but you specialize in developing strong, well conditioned athletes and specialization is for insects.

Exactly, Dan. What kind of Fran time are your High School kids turning in?

The guy from the Panu blog (who's a rectum bleeding orthorexic) points out that to the outsider, XF is a business, and the business is selling as many certifications as possible.

A couple of weeks ago, I'm getting some coffee at a non-Starbucks in the Bay Area. Guy has a pierced eyebrow and another one on the side of his upper lip. He is giving me attitude (I keep telling the dumb fuck to look at me when he talks, I be close to completely deaf), so I tired of this shit. Get my change, ask him if he is into 90's retro.

Blank look and asks what I mean. The piercing, stuff, I respond. Went over real well.

Brings us to x-fit, when everybody is doing it, nobody will be doing it.

As for elite, two many from x-fit have their youth soccer participation trophy in a glass case over the mantle.

Oh Gary, you're giving them too much credit. You know most of them would be too big a pussy to actually PLAY soccer.

[Crust Bucket]

We need some sort of purge or at least another cleanse....

I noticed the mention of Ross E's site and books in that thread and it's funny in that I was reading over Full Throttle Conditioning just this morning and will be going back over NG and II shortly as well. Ross and his material is hugely underrated imo. Hugely. His books are outstanding. He gives the scientifical data to back up his exercises and programming, explains it clearly and provides excellent programs and routines. He walks the walk as well and is very humble. Which may be one reason why he isn't a bigger name than he is. But those in the know know.

ross e's blog is the shit.
tons of shit about real world badasses who actually ACCOMPLISH shit.
definitely worth checking out.
dude is the anti-couch, fo sho!

That and unlike the Couch, Ross E actually practices what he promotes and doesn't look like a gin-bloated piece of shit.

DJ. for real. HS twitz aside..I could give a shit whether it's good for a girl or not. she looked really good doing it...so i guess she's making the best case for crossfit that you could hope for.

This. When I was in high school I watched Ben Watson of the NE Patriots raw bench over 400 pounds. He was 17 or 18 years old. I think by the time he left UGA his bench was over 550lb. There's "elite" and then there's elite.
