Rip on ESPN: Outside the Lines

[Jim Wendler]

This is amazing Mark. Congratulations.

[David Lee]

Have you been sued yet?

[Mark Rippetoe]

What are the odds they edited your discussion to make you look like an idiot?

I don't know. Possible.

So wait...are you involved in the crossfit story on OTL, or is your piece a separate show/discussion after the story?

Not my piece. I was in the discussion only.

Have you been sued yet?

Before Jim gets all happy for me, there is that to consider.

[tan125]

Awesome, Rip. Will definitely watch on Sunday.

Before Jim gets all happy for me, there is that to consider.

If you need any help with that, I know a lawyer.

[stronger]

so - I think the big question on everyone's mind is: how frequently has HQ programmed clean and jerks in the last 6 weeks? Mr. Berger never cleared that up for us

Just saw the otl on xfit. I think it was a decent report, however I think they cut rip off too soon. Now espn is making money off of airing the crossfit games, so it makes sense that they cut rip off before he could blow up xfit dudes claim that no seminars involve actual coaching practice. Crossfit looked like what it is, good exercise, shitty if you're looking to train seriously. I for one would rather become sufficient in 5 to 7 trained lifts over the course of the next few years rather than compete at fitness everyday. I'll take competing in a local PL comp next year as all the competition I need.

How much of the debate, if any, was edited?

[Mark Rippetoe]

I noticed no edits.

Saw the report as well. Unfortunately, I felt it was rather short.
