The GF is insisting that she wants her muscles to be "longer and leaner" and since the fitness industry talks about it, it must be true.

honestly, all of the magazines that i read (M&F hers, Fitness Rx for women, and fitness) support lifting! they don't follow SS, but they do provide variations of all the major lifts, explanations of how to correctly do each lift, etc.

best part... really hot pix of great bodies.

is anyone surprised that branch won the arnold? he just looks grosssssss to me.

I am fairly sure that's the point of the competition. Grossest one wins.

Just conveniently leave out the part about the silly high rep/low weight metcons (or make her do russian kb swings and hill sprints once in a while), make her do SS instead of CF - "it's close enough and cheap!" - and you'd be set. After all, crossfit makes guys look skinny and girls look hot, right?

My brother plays Rugby and has started running Iron Mans and the like (sick in the head imho) and ive been trying to convince him forever to just squat/deadlift/bench because when we where just starting out in highschool he pulled a 170kg deadlift off basically no training, then made the state rugby team so stopped really lifting.

Now he wants to do crossfit. sigh.

This is good, although it is still way too technical for a girl who right now calls body-pump classes "strength training" (my gf) imo.

Whats up with the sumo hate that is all over the internet? All of the heaviest DLs have been normal DLs so why isnt normal DLs consider cheating or whatever stupid reasoning there might be for the hating?

Anyone using Nike+? Thinking about getting it...if anyone's using it, in what form are you using it (e.g. iPhone)?

chobani is on sale at my local grocery store for 88 cents. Chobani.com has a 30 cent off coupon. The grocery store automatically doubles coupons up to 99 cents, so I ended up paying 28 cents for each chobani.
