In a year and that's all he got??? that is embarrassing with those numbers.

Nice progress, bro. Now he's as strong as a high school sophomore.

To be fair:
Bench 250
Squat 276
Dead 305
Press 129

Now, roughly a year later I weigh 213 and these are my numbers

Bench 285
Squat 332
Dead 360
Press 175

He would be fine to play high school football. I would think like a guard maybe...but at 213, we aren't looking for elite here. The press is just so sad in comparison. The Dl is really low but the squat is fine..But, the next level...it's a good discussion of "no."

Are we sure it's a dude... ?

Meh,

Cannot bring myself to crap on anyone's progress who bothers to do the lifts.
Somebody need to let Greg off his leash so we can enjoy this thread again.

This is the second incident in this area. The Brookyn Barbell Club is more commonly known as @fit Virtuosity.

To be fair, they were there before the fucking hipsters moved in next door.

Well that explains why they are so fucking expensive. Two bills a month.
And fuck Williamsburgh. I liked it better when it was a fucking ghetto.

this is about my lack of attention to the Big Girl thread isn't it?

It might be. What's being posted is sub par.

"Today, I saw Quaid the fairtrade coffee drinking, bearded, Grover-bodied gentrifier on his way to deliver a petition to his local congressman signed by 7,000 other Brooklyn-ruining transplants to permanently make Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick car-free zones so that funemployed pioneers can turn the streets into everyday flea markets to sell hand-crafted pickles, penny farthing accessories and paper clip-Cheerios necklaces. So I dragged him by his filthy Converse sneakers to the batting cages and held his face in front of the 95mph fast ball machine until he was shitting baseballs. End of story."

Yes, I do.

Probably been linked here already but a nice write up nonetheless. It's certainly more than the usual "type 3 bad words about @fit and sit back and see the hits come in" post even though that robs us of the brigade trying to counter.

There are some folks who are legitimately weak. A coaches eye would help immensely, but most Crossfit trainers are only concerned about metcon progress, since that's their big emphasis.

Dude could just be an unfortunate who doesn't know how to train.

Me, on the other had, took a 125# soccer mom from an ugly 95# deadlift to 225# in about 5 months.

A massive problem I see with CF box strength training programming is too much emphasis on 'effort' and 'hard'.

I've got a buddy who's a hardcore kool aid swiller. We've talked about improving his strength but every time I tell him he's going to have to cut way back on the metcons he gets that 1,000 yard stare.

Are maxes or working weights?

Look like maxes for a high school sophomore

Bitching about hipsters is almost worse than hipsters these days.

Someone should send him a link to the Stronglifts site.

you guys are too harsh!

some guy added decent weight to his lifts, gained a little strenght, and probably kept decent conditioning while doing so

what more do you want?!

I gotta go with Proto on this one.
I started working with a college prof, 35 yo, and his bench is up to 95 lbs he says. 8kg kettlebells kill him.

Little fucker benches more than me.

Goes without sayin'
