^ get the most basic micronized creatine by higher power. put in hot water/coffee to solubilze/dissolve. then mix with cold whey protein shake. load 5g/day for a week. maintain 2g/day. win

i might do this when i switch back to lots of squatting. hm...

thanks kf

180 kg / 400 lbs deadlift today. That's a 2.19 ratio.

- warm up

- sprint 2 x 10y

- DSVJ x 4

- DLRVJ x 15-20
started off okay, drop steps were pretty good, too. then everything went to shit and i lost an inch plus, couldn't figure out why. bah.

- ME pogo 4 x 5

- MR half tuck x 15,20,20

- OHP 3 x 8 x 95

- chin up 3 x 8

- ab wheel 3 x 20

- stretch

meh. been neglecting upper a bit. what i did today wasn't especially hard, though, so i don't seem to have lost too much.

also, i think i'm going to try another month or two on the current volume-MSEM-MSEM-reactive cycle i've been on, then re-test, then start smolov junior, eat a ton and see if gaining a little bit of weight doesn't help boost my squat a bit. winter is the time to do that.

might already have been posted, but worth another watch. dude does 20 x 462 and then, during the same workout, works up to a single of 606.

and hot chicks love it.

The only benefit I've seen thus far.

you don't think someone could improve overall fitness/conditioning and even strength, using crossfit? i do.

of course someone could, the problem is that:
1. it's an inefficient way to accomplish either of those goals, or really almost any goal;
2. it promotes unsafe and nonsensical exercise practices;
3. it's full of bullshit information about physiology and diet;
4. it promotes a self-affirming cult mentality in which the central belief system can't be questioned and which creates a completely undeserved feeling of superiority among most practitioners*,
5. people are god-damn evangelical about it, which i hate hate hate hate hate more than anything else. you wanna do thrusters and destroy your immobile, desk-jockey shoulders with high-rep shit-form kipping pull ups? knock yourself out. just don't tell me there's something fucking special about exercising that way or that doing those things makes you ELITE. there are ? ways to get your heart rate up really fast and work your muscles really hard that don't involve combining reverse power curls with box jumps and burpees.
6. they take up too much fucking space at my gym.

*the competitors at the crossfit games don't count. they're athletic, strong and in great shape, no doubt. but also my understanding is that most don't actually train crossfit-style, but rather with good old periodized training. and anyway, that's what, .01% of the people who do crossfit?

what you working as now?

adarq is an ER nurse, you guys didn't know that?

My patience for this ass-backwards clusterfuck of moronic cultthink is wearing thin. I almost started berating some random dude on the street yesterday because he was telling his gf all about this "interesting new workout methodology." Now the assholes are using the entire fucking basketball court to do running jump rope and wall handstand push ips and fucking who knows what else. Fuck them all.
