are crossfit games competitors using "advanced" barbell programming?

I don't know about these guys but my own personal experience is that I've been able to beat many crossfit guys at cardio/metcon type of workouts even though I've only been lifting heavy for a long long time and not done any cardio besides walking.

You should probably enter the crossfit games and win. There's a lot of money up for grabs.

Rich Froning is pretty damn good at what he does. Actually, whether you like CrossFit or not, most of the people at the Games this year were pretty impressive.

No chance I could compete with those guys. It was not to say that I'm good in those high standard. I just meant that you actually do get some kind of cardio ability from lifting heavy.

I didn't even realize the 2012 crossfit games had been completed. I must be out of the loop. Or I didn't give a shit. It's a mystery.

Probably don't give a shit, as most members here don't either. If you did, you'd be on some cross fit board.

You know, in the Olympics, apparently they give each athlete like 15 condoms, for a total of like 150,000 in the Olympic village area. What I'm wondering is what went on at the CrossFit Games.

"Advanced Programming"?

Yep, about 1,000mg a week.

The Olympic Training Center has a large fishbowl filled with free condoms for the athletes. They also give out contraceptive foam if you ask the nice lady at the desk.
