A huge mistake IMHO. The two things most important for greatness, talent and desire, are not significantly impacted by the weight room. But you can damage those things very easily in the weight room and i would argue Iowa S+C did just that. In the weight room first do no harm. Second, fix the harm somebody else did(from bad or nonexistent technique to muscle imbalances to complete lack of squatting ability) Third, help them get stronger and that is the most important thing for both bigger and stronger. Spare me your skinny strenght BS. You do not need the programming of Robert Roman to get a 20 year old college kid stronger. It has more to do with consistency than anything else.
If my kid was in that progam me and the coach would be behind closed doors right now and we would be loading the U-haul right afterwards.
After all, Crossfit Football still has "crossfit" in front of it.
The marketing draw is worth it. I didn't know any kids who got rhabdo from football. I never knew any guys who got rhabdo from rugby. I did know one guy who got rhabdo by doing a 1000 bodyweight squats on a dare.
This group of clowns is trying to blame supplements for the Iowa football Rhabdo cases even though nobody knows if they were taking any supplements.
Some of the comments are funny and there are a few enlightened souls who reference @fit.
People are really going full retard on trying to associate this with supplements or PEDs.
Couch, you obviously need to step up your rhabdo awareness campaign and remind people that only @F has the power, on its own, to disable and hospitalize this many young males at once.
Anyway, was gonna wise-ass post at other site about the positive effects of rebreathing.
You put a plastic bag over your head, duct tape it around the neck and go for a run.
Then, I thought better.
Age is ruining my life.
You gotta be careful with that shit, Gary. Some asshole will try it and somehow survive. The next thing you know, there'll be $1,000 certs and Rogue will be selling official gaymes bags and tape.
