You wouldn't have known about the sport of weightlifting if it wasn't for CrossFit, therefore, CrossFit is the reason your club exists.

Also, his point is that CF introduces casual people who may...

Literally burst out laughing, very well done OP :)

I'm surprised the guy in the video can squat like that with any significant weight AND with his feet flat on the ground, it's actually impressive...

Do you feel tension in your hamstrings and glutes when you deadlift? Your form looks similar to mine, my PRs are 375# squat and 350# DL. What I ended up finding out (after a lumbar disc hernia L5-S1)...

There is no purpose other than to get better at them if you want to enter CrossFit competitions.

The real problems I have with CF's general implementation of kipping pull-ups:

1) As others have...

Honestly .25 inch difference is not a huge deal. I like the Rogues because they work well for front squats and the olympic lifts, but I haven't tried the Rip shoe. I'd just get whatever is...

Old thread I know, but if you read the Broz thread on BB.com you will see that they squat pretty much daily to max as well (then back off and do doubles/triples). Again, it's a training max, but they...

This, and with the KB snatch tests, there is pace involved and form breakdown is fought hard as it is not efficient, and let's be honest it's a lot easier to snatch a KB for reps than a barbell (even...

goheavy.com - pretty active but horrible horrible UI, no idea why they don't use normal forum software

It's debatable. Power clean you have to pull the weight higher (stronger second pull), third pull is about speed though you are right. It comes down to technique, when you are good you can clean more...

The powerlifting/strongman/oly lifting sub-forums on BB.com have some good regulars, bunch of legit powerlifters/oly lifters that compete and offer sane advice. The general forums are filled with...

Honestly laughed out loud at this.

Also rack pulls.

So what's your 400M, about 100 seconds? I'm sure you ran a 50 back in high school though.

It's obviously you (on both BB.com and the CF forums), the numbers, background, goal, location, CF box etc. are identical.

Look, the vast majority of the people posting here and on BB.com...

It's fine as long as you still have the full ROM and are not letting it go forward at the bottom. In a jerk or push press it's pretty damn important to have the bar in the rack on the delts (for...

300/400/500 at 220 makes you lose mobility and agility? Might want to look at some running backs in the NFL.

I can't believe how nice everynoe has been to this moron, he stalled benching 175# and...

Oh man I am in pain from laughing at this thread and the one over at BB.com, amazing entertainment. Some people were questioning if this was an elaborate troll but you just know he is real.

In Mendes specific case, I don't think the OTC model would be a benefit. Since he already lifts full time (as mentioned earlier in the thread), and John's coaching methods have obviously been working...

While walk-outs and lock-outs are a legit training tool, there is no reason to do them for multiple sets like that in ascending weights. Especially if he cannot squat 200kg @ 97kg bw, there is no...

That my friends, is progress on a linear progression.
