Jorts? Yes or No?
Dear John, I have been following CFFB religiously and following all your advice on what it will take for me to get to the next level. From your earlier posts regarding programming, nutrition, sleep, etc., it’s clear that I need to be prepared in all phases of my life, both in the gym and outside it...

Curls, Bulls and Bob Harper
John, many thanks for the awesome program! I know that you would of course include them if you thought they were necessary, but I'll ask anyway. If you were to include curls or other direct arm work, what would be the optimal way to do so? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us...
Intensity vs Effort
I received one recently, asking if I thought constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity was a solid programming philosophy. Yes, without a doubt...
