The absolute state of systematic review and meta-analysis.

Barr’s claims are a little weird, and are based on anatomy rather than mechanics. They are detailed in this presentation, particularly slides 12 and...

Rogue has good process management for producing large quantities of inoffensive, long-lasting equipment. And cheap shipping. But every piece of Rogue...

How often do you hit full squat depth during skiing and snowboarding? What would really optimize this program is if the squats were performed high.

As anyone who’s done CrossFit can attest, DOMS is surprisingly specific to movements. Do you think downhill skiing actually resembles a barbell...

Yes, but also: the prowler requires much less coordination and presence of mind than the barbell lifts. MAD’s bloviation about mental toughness...

If it’s practice, then why get on the platform with a barbell? Why not actually approximate the movement on, say, a hill? Time in the gym is...

Mat Fraser, the longtime CrossFit champion, would practice jumping rope with both supine and (bizarrely) prone grips. This allowed him to...

I’ve done 20-rep squats. They are hard but compared to, say, a marathon, they’re not the pure, profound mental transformation you imagine. You just...

Paxlovid has a very bitter, metallic aftertaste (“dysgeusia”) which causes some to vomit or cease treatment. A demoralizing penance shared with...

You’ve offered a lot of generic excuses, but not a single reason why 50-rep barbell squats should be performed for conditioning. There isn’t one. ...

Isn’t the point of training is to bolster your performance and resilience over the course of the season? Not to avoid the unavoidable soreness of...

Have you considered that the world has accumulated millions of hours of experience on this topic, and he hasn't? There is no application for 50-rep...

Why not use a prowler, rower, airbike, ski erg, or treadmill? Repurposing strength equipment for conditioning is such false economy.

You mean a breath per rep, right? My bench is about equal to OP’s, and there is no way I could perform a set of 320x3 on a single breath.

Apparently the new Chief of Naval Operations (the highest rank in the Navy) has a BA in journalism, and an MA from University of Phoenix (yes, the...

I remember Hanson’s prominent neoconservative cheerleading of the war in Iraq, of which I was vaguely, naively supportive. And I remember sneering at...

You’re not crazy. I own the same OPB and had the same experience with the SS bar. I think the SS knurling and geometry are better, independent of...

The word you’re looking for is “pseudonym” or perhaps “anonym”, not “avatar”. Just wanted to assist any future diatribes you have against anonymity.
