LMFAO @ Brendan the Xfit laughing stock with the town slut. How do you like Severn's sloppy seconds? Get down there and work that thing and let us know what his dick tastes like.

Chump.

Severn hosed her ass. He won't taste his dick unless he licks her butt. Allie digs it up the ass. Seriously, bitch goes bat shit crazy when you get some stink on your dick.

I think its funny that every time some authority in strength and conditioning world opines on crossfit everyone is quick to dismiss it as of course crossfit isn't the best for specialists thats the whole point. What lyle claimed was much more substantive then that, he claimed, that crossfit was not the best way to get good at anything including crossfit. Here are the points I extract from his posts.

1. Aerobic Base is not developed effectively over the long run by interval based conditioning. Elite athletes including power athletes spend significant time in low intensity exercise base building.
2. Strength Work is Primary in GPP strong athletes adapt to crossfit quickly the converse is not true.
3. Traditional strength and conditioning methods are have been successful for a 100 years we know largely what works crossfit has not produced anything new.

I think these are fair point and ones that he has some data to back up himself up with particularly on the point about strength. The problem with it is most people do not have time to do hours of tempo work on top of hours of strength work on top of hours of skill work. The appeal of crossfit is the idea you can get most of the these benefits from 5-30 minutes 5.5 days a week plus warm up and warm downs.

Crossfit + Zone/paleo works for most people purposes, losing fat, feeling fit enough to accomplish most daily tasks and adding a bit of muscle. It is not clear to me that the potential for injuries and adrenal fatigue that come with the program are necessary to attain those benefits. As far as developing elite fitness or performance I think crossfits claims of achieving that are underwelming, I would listen more to coaches who have produced and work with olympic and NFL/NBA major sport league level athletes for how to achieve that.

Tony,

So, what you're saying is that this workout has been programmed for quote some time - as part of a progression right? It's just a coincidence that it is the exact same workout as that of one of the Missouri sectionals?

Please elaborate how this workout fits into the overall progression of this month/quarter/cycle.

Thanks!

The douches are arguing that the photograph does not fall under the fair-use act of the TM law. My argument, which someone on the wiki supported was that the image comes from a freely distributed document (the PDF for RRG), that the image is being used for educational purposes (as part of the wiki), which should under the fair-use act allow the image to be used.

Also noted is that the douches are arguing that we here at IGX are in a war to discredit the couch and cite this thread as proof. Pussies.

Comments are welcome, valid case law or knowledge preferred.
