Re: College Football!!!!!
Been trying to find Tebow's lifting stats. I'd love to know his CFT. Found unconfirmed rumors that his bench was 480 and his squat was over 600. If true, his CFT could be approaching 1500 ... a...

Re: Ruck March/SFAS Prep in iraq
CF and CFE will build a good foundation of GPP to help you ruck better. However, eventually you're going to have to get specific in your training and do some hard rucks.
How long after you...

Re: Slowing Running Times
Occam's Razor ... most likely your measurements are off. Mapmyrun.com is not going to measure a 100m circular lap with sufficient accuracy. If the length of the two courses are different, time...

Re: programming legs only workout plan
Thanks to all, some good ideas there. My right hand is completely useless for pulling, pushing, and gripping. I found I can stabilize back squats by putting the wrist portion of my cast on the bar...

programming legs only workout plan
I broke my hand and will be in a cast for 6 weeks, followed by a few weeks of rehab. I was already resting an overuse injury to my other shoulder, so it looks like I'm legs-only for the next 2...

Re: brkon hand - need one arm programming
Saw the doctor. My hand and wrist are in a cast for 6 weeks.
I tried squatting and I can do both front squats and back squats with no problem. I'll probably focus on front squats, back squats and...

Re: broken clavicle and benching
I'm not a doctor but AFAIK when you break a bone and it heals properly, it's normally stronger than it was before you broke it. It should not get sore from exercise. I broke my collarbone twice...

Re: brkon hand - need one arm programming
My main dilemma is how to continue to progress on squat strength while hurt. Can squats be safely done with one arm? Assisted spotting maybe?
Are pistols and single leg squats an acceptable sub...

Re: swine flue true statistics
You're in the wrong line of work if you're going to be a wuss about shots. In 20 years of Army SF I had well over 100 vaccinations of various types.

That's funny, because I broke a bone in my hand last night, and it never hurt. I only knew it was broken because I could see the bone end pointing in a crazy direction under the skin. In my...

So sorry to hear that. Perhaps plantar fascitis?
You were wearing your NB shoes, not your VFF, right?
This whole minimalist shoe theory has me concerned. CF'ers love theories that start with...

Re: Trade Your Back for Elite Fitness?
That's the point. It's NOT a 4x5 or 7x1 strength workout. It's a metcon workout with relatively light weight, so the athlete can get sloppy while exhausted without getting hurt. Two different...

Re: Rope Ascents
That is one way of looking at it.
Rope climbs are also an alternative mode of producing work capacity by moving your body vertically. From that perspective, the more efficient your technique, the...
