That's really not a lot.

No, it's not.

Which is why most of the winners at the CF games don't practice Crossfit in its true form, since it's ineffective. At making someone good at Crossfit.

^^^This!!

^This. Probably a good thing. Not that I hate Crossfit, but usually their (at least the HQ) views on fitness and functional fitness (whatever that is) is very, very misguided. Not to mention that the...

I haven't been around these forums in awhile. I still lurk from time to time. But I have still been training and finally filmed myself again last Friday. I'm hopefully going to do a competition in...

ZOMG it's not Paleo. World = over

No. You can lean out either way as long as your diet is in check. Granted, lifting heavier will be more conducive to getting bigger but this is largely determined by diet. High reps do not lean or...

That's a pretty strong statement.

I had never seen it there before. I haven't kept up with this forum too much until this week so if it's a repost my bad!

I've never had the Nutiva brand before. I liked it better than the other...

Just a note to any Primal People in or close to Atlanta:

I went to the Dekalb Farmer's Market in Decatur. Right now they have Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Tall tubs for $5.99 and Large tubs...

Nice.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl, but DURING the Super Bowl I had

~2/3 lb Salmon filet
Baked Sweet Potato fries (cinnamon & coconut oil)
Broccoli
**gasp** Ciabatta bread with a slice of...

Agreed.

What he's saying is true and I'm always glad to see someone better their life. It's obvious he worked hard and made avery positive change, so hats off to him. HOWEVER his delivery is...

As a trainer, you know that training yourself and training other people are two very very different things. I taught myself Olympic weightlifting, kettlebell training and other things but have a hard...

Your trail leg will get some strain due to flexibility of the quad and hip flexor. If you are like most people, including myself, you have pretty tight quads and hip flexors. The ROM and the position...

Very true and I agree. However, isolation exercises have their place, even for athletes. You don't build programs around them, but they caan do have a place just not priority.

I hate the fact that isolation work is looked down on. While it may not always be necessary, it's great to strengthen specific muscles and areas that may need a bit more stimulation than they have...

True, some do. But those guys built up to that over a long time. They didn't start out that way. Most countries have a tapered program that eliminates those that can't make it to the next level until...

How about the one where you adjust your diet? Since that's where 90% of weight loss occurs....

I personally think this is the optimal way to train for the general population. The main focus is on strength with enough MetCon for overall fitness.

I'm quoting you to respond to the whole discussion about the article and what Damon Wells said.

While practicing everything may make you good or decent at a lot of things, the bottom line is that...

I think it depends on the type of training you do. You can lift heavy in a fasted state, however I would shy away from doing anything heavy and complex while fasted (i.e. cleans, snatches, etc).
...

Are Saturday and Sunday the only days you can lift? Just wondering what was so important about lifting consecutively on those days. If so, then the upper/lower advice would probably be best.

If...

Agreed. I also think that Sumo Deadlifts tend to suit people with longer limbs like myself.
