Next week

Next week will be "Silent Week". I want to hear heavy breathing, equipment clanking and banging, and a whole lotta yelling.


"Poor form in the gym is caused by insufficient yelling."

Will Tuesday and Thursday intensive classes cover roughly the same material?

I read all those Rip quotes from that site...hilarious! Some favorites:

"Shitting yourself when you deadlift was omitted from [Starting Strength]. The best way to avoid this is to not deadlift when you need to shit, and vice versa. Planning is the key here."

"I strongly advise against intentionally farting whilst moving heavy weights. Sometimes -- especially under those circumstances -- farts have a solid center."

"JLascek: I just wanted to throw in the fact that you cannot "pull yourself down" in any kind of squat unless you are moving faster than gravity will allow, and this is never the case in the presence of a significant load.

TPrewittMD: Actually, you can't "pull yourself down" unless your feet are literally fixed to the floor. Simply dropping the bar to the floor is faster than any squat and is the effect of gravity.

Tuesday: I wonder why CrossFitters haven't used this fact to improve their Fran time by fixing themselves to the floor.

Rip: Because it slows down the pullups, you fool."
