Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
Take an athlete like Alex Viada. Guy is a complete freak of nature and an incredible athlete. If he implemented CrossFit training into his routines it would only make him worse. Why? The type of...

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
You don't just do your sport, I never said that, you train to address whatever weakness you have, not just random exercises strung together for whatever reason. Powerlifting, you need to increase...

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
No.
Top level powerlifters, bodybuilders, sprinters, endurance athletes, etc (assumed natural for this) will not improve by adding CrossFit to their training. Athletes at this level need to train...

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
I definitely agree as well. Of course, I doesn't really matter how great and hard working someone is IF those at the top are taking steroids as well, they will never catch up. Not saying I think Rich...

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
Sure, you can have a big upper body and twig legs if you don't work your legs. You won't develop that upper body in the same way as a steroid user would though and that is the big difference. A...

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?

Re: Is Rich Froning the next Lance Armstrong?
First, it doesn't say he gained 10 lbs of lean muscle, we don't know the composition of his weight gain. He could be carrying a little extra fat, he could have been retaining a little more water the...
