Generally I notice the same thing. High reps seem to help "teach" the correct form if you will.

So Rip is out of CF.

“CrossFit” and “HorseShit” were not supposed to become synonymous

Re: Supplements

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which ones take quite a few supplements? I know Josh Everett does from his video, but Jason Kalipa said he doesn't take anything at all. I also seem to remember Spealer not taking much if anything, but can't quite remember? Which ones take supplements? I'm not accusing you of being wrong, I'm just interested to know which top level CFers take what supplements.[/quote]

Only competitive athletes have to train to compete against the clock; the average gym client is there to enhance fitness or shape and should reject unnecessary intimidation by a clock or instructor

Meh, no commentary, just had to log into my photobucket account or be dropped, so I did some poking around.

I think that the tips from Tate were spot on. I want to see the reaction to the "arced plan wasting power vs. a straight up and down pull up". he didn't go all the way to kipping is wasted power, but he was heading in that direction. Interesting.

Dave's responses were in fact intelligent; they were just lacking in exposure. I wouldn't fault someone for failing to see at first glance that a kipping pullup is actually the mechanically faster & more efficient path for a core-to-extremities contraction that moves the body up to the bar, back down and back up again.

(That's a complex movement that people always oversimplify -- but up-down is not how the body can most efficiently move. The kipping pullup uses the stronger core musculature first, and the dimensions of the limbs and positions of the joints that must close determines the rest. The butterfly kip is in fact the fastest and most efficient path for the body to meet the bar and return.)

It's unfortunate, at this meeting it doesn't seem like Dave Tate really got as much as he could and should have. He didn't seem to get that fitness is about work capacity and that work capacity is about foot-pounds per second across various time domains. And, that this fitness is most central and most essential to the broadest applications of human performance.
He needs to wake up and realize just how narrowly his specialty applies to human performance, in comparison to the work capacities we develop. He seems like an independent thinker and self-educated guy who really values truth, so in a different context (when he's not in front of a camera, perhaps) he may be able to set his Public Relations face and ego aside and start recognizing CrossFit's mastery of the art and science of GPP.
