Re: 300# Back Squat, 17 years old
Since it appears you are doing a Rippetoe style squat I will say you lost your hip drive about half way up coming out of the whole, right where you hit your sticking point. Your back angle changes...

Re: Why do people hate Crossfit?
I think this is exactly correct, but needs to be explored just a little deeper. Why is it that everyone thinks CF is just high intensity BW grueling metcons? Because the VAST majority of CF boxes...

Re: 11 Year Old Squat, Bench, Deadlift
As you lower yourself from a plank to the bottom of a push-up you are loading your rotator cuff, lats, and several other shoulder stabilizers which holds the head of the humerus in place. When you...

Re: Little, Old Guy - squatting
Very strong lifts, even 455 looked like you had a good amount left in the tank.
My comments:
I can't see because of the plates, but on both 405 and 455 I think you lose a little thoracic curve...

Re: UFC 140 - Jones v Machida
I won't go so far as to say Machida has no chance, but to say he will "whup Jones, up, down, and all around the cage" is ridiculous. It is certainly possible he will win, but it will not be a KO...

Re: How long to keep a strength bias
To be fair a BW press, and 2x BW squat probably take an average of 1.5 years of consistent unyielding training. It is not something that will happen in a single, short linear progression cycle. At...

Re: How long to keep a strength bias
Do what you want. If you want to do more metcons go to town, but realize you will lose strength when you do so. If you are like me this will upset you and you will go back to strength training, if...

Re: UFC 140 - Jones v Machida
I am still interested to see if Machida CAN "hit Jones numerous times". His reach is 6'2", Jones is 7'1/2". As a counter striker it will be very tough to counter strike, when you can't even reach...
