John, What would CrossFit Football look like if you DIDN’T have to satisfy the "metcon craving" of many CrossFitters? If you were given free reign to design a workout protocol that only emphasized strength and power to the exclusion of all else, would it look different? Thanks, DB...
Every time I buy creatine from anywhere they want to sell me glutamine too. Should I buy it? Yes. Also, order some Branch Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs. I like to mix the 5 grams of creatine, 5 grams of glutamine and 10 grams of BCAAs in my pre and post workout shake...
Usain Bolt is explains why he is so fast. Listen to what he has to say. Quick Reaction. Drive. Keep Driving. Driving. Driving. Knees up. Shoulders Down. Dorsiflex. Toes up. Plant & Drive. Focus. Stay Focused...
Olympic shoes? They train barefoot. Belts? They stabilize their core. Clothes? If their mom's garage wasn't on a busy street they would train naked. Straps? Shit, they masturbate with a hook grip. Strength? Depends on who is asking. Condoms? They use a rattlesnake...
Keep training. You are on the right track, your friends are the ones who are fucked up. Most raw lifters should be able to deadlift more than they squat. Once you approach your limit on the strength curve, you start to see squat numbers matching the deadlift. But this won't happen until you are so far advanced you won't give a shit about this site...If I come across a raw lifter whose squat is equal or more than his deadlift, I assume he does not pull heavy in training. Or he has very small hands and is best suited to join the circus...
I realized many athletes become obsess over weight room numbers. They focus all their attention on their lifts, and forget that the game is played on the field. Rather than improving their skills and technique, their focus shifts towards becoming a weigh room warrior. They become more interested in a 10 lb PR, than increasing their skill...
In CF circles, words like specialist and hypertrophy are dirty words. CrossFit Football, however, made it’s bones with myofibrillar hypertrophy, alactic power and short capacity. The program was never designed to be general and inclusive. Check the tag line, “Forging Powerful Athlete”...
The Healthy Baby Code is a program designed to promote fertility in couples wanting to conceive and aids in pregnancy nutrition. Since we are fortunate enough to follow many of the nutritional guidelines that Chris recommends, my focus has been on the nutritional recommendations for newborns. Those first months of life will set the tone for lifelong intelligence and health, and his guidance has been invaluable to my family...
Really? Legs too big? Are you serious? Have you not read anything I have posted on this site in the last two years? Personally, I think your problems much deeper if you are worried your legs are too big...
I just thought I'd send you a progress reports on one of my players. 2 years ago, this kid was a skinny freshman and came up to train with me during the spring. He couldn't do a push up or squat to save his life. Three years later, here he is as a junior...
