Re: I need article on why women should do SS
1. Explain to her how strength can benefit her.
2. Show her pictures of strong women who don't look like men.
3. Ask her if, when **** hits the fan, she wants to be strong or weak.

Re: Crossfit Games
You are probably referring to one of the last three events. They had strict time restrictions, so if you didn't finish, you were scored on total number of reps completed.

Re: GOMAD for people >200
As a skinny novice, maybe. As an intermediate or advanced lifter with considerable muscle mass already you generally won't get those kinds of results.

Re: Straight barbell curls
A lot of the curl bashing that goes on around here is just ignorant wannabe elitism. Just like it was fashionable to not do bench presses for a while because they weren't "functional."

Re: GOMAD for people >200
You'd most likely get fat really fast on GOMAD unless you had some special "vitamins" to go with it.

Re: CrossFit Games 2010 Event 3 individuels?

Event 2 was the Helen workout and event 3 was the max effort overhead within 90 seconds of finishing that event. So I'm...

Re: Form check for SS - Squat
How does water polo or something equally silly give you any authority when it comes to squatting technique? Because you're making it sound it like it does.

Re: Adding HIIT to my daily WOD
Tabata doesn't really work all that well for running. It's great for rowing, cycling, air squats, etc, where you can go all out and then have complete rest during the 10 seconds. When you're running,...

Re: Form check for SS - Squat
Dude, sit back. Your knees are going WAY too far forward and your butt is just going straight up and down. Go back to SS and read about TUBOW.
