Re: 2012 Open, Regional and Games thread
I get where you're coming from but disagree, for a few reasons.
First, it would mean the games are largely redundant, since it's the same top guys fighting it out.
Second, the current format is...

Re: Energy balance
I'm curious what you mean by "inessential" lean mass?
I do agree that a very obese (in the realm of 50%+ BF) can run a larger defecit safely. They will still lose lean mass, but may not appear to...

Re: Energy balance
Sure, that quote would be appropriate for anyone who is trying to lose/cut weight safely and effectively. Honestly, I would call it common sense.
Anyone who says they can run a 800 calorie/day...

Read the standards: "The marked area will be 36" wide by 24" deep, and the palm of the hand must remain completely within the area (fingers may extend out of the box)."

Re: Adding running post wod?
Thank you for being the voice of reason.:)
"light" for somebody means they have zero or very, very minimal recovery afterward. If you're sore, it wasn't light.
Note that what is light for you may...

Re: Open Competition
The $20 is to CFHQ to register for the open. I assume the box is charging their own fee above that.

One more reason to back off the heavy weight and train safely. Risking injury to win a competition is one thing. Doing it for no reason makes no sense.

Re: Blood work came back awful!

Dude.
You're outside the range on the GOOD side. Your HDL and tri numbers are so good that they're outside what's considered normal. I'm dead serious. You can't have "too high" of an HDL or "too...

Re: Should I reset/deload my DL?
With deadlifts in particular, higher reps (even 5's) just don't seem to work for me. They would leave me sore and I wouldn't make much progress, basically hovering between a max of 295 and 315 for a...
