Re: Bodyweight mile
my initial reading of this was that it is carried in a front rack. Carrying it on the shoulders would simplify it somewhat, but still pretty testy. I would think 15 minutes is doable...When you say...

Re: If you only had one pair of shoes...
I would say it depends on your bias. If you tend to like workouts involving heavy weights and going overhead, I would go with weightlifting shoes. Replace runs with rows. Still develop a weak area...

Re: Women's B&R Bar
Why no center knurling? Isn't center knurling present on both weightlifting bars and power lifting bars. I know it is on competition level weightlifting bars and can't imagine its not on the bars...

Re: back extention is not a functional movement.
It seems to me that Rippetoe always supports his statements with some pretty good information. Why did he state that the back extension was not functional?
If nothing else, I can't imagine that...

Re: Snatch
Ben,
the set up position, 1st pull and second pull all look great to me. What I can't or don't see is your elbows coming high and outside as part of your third pull...however, your press under the...

Re: C&J Form Check
No use beating around the bush...the split jerk was not a split jerk, nor was it a push jerk. You are caught in the middle...which I think has all the detriments to either form, but none of the...

Re: Bumpers - great service, free shipping
If it is for a garage gym/personal use, I doubt anybody is going to be putting enough reps and weight onto the bar to make a steel insert that much better. If it is getting used in an affiliate, you...

Re: Who are you pulling for in the 09 Games?
Matt Chan (Crossfit Verve)has a very good chance. He has great work capacity and impeccable form matched with solid strength. He set the bar in Colorado I think.

Re: Maintaining barbells
You do NOT want to use WD 40 on most things. It tends to attract and cling to dirt.
I like T-9 by Boeshield for most things that require a lubricant like 3-1 oil.
