I thought Justa said he did 4500# in RIS, IIRC.

Yea, not to belittle the hard work thing cos it's the part needed to develop talent, but I know several musicians and groups that work tirelessly but they still suck like a Hoover.

Hmm. I didn't know rowers had butts like that.

Like the deadlifting numbers, more elusive metrics:

And fo' rizzle, who are the Olympic medalists (and gold medalists specifcally, as he noted yesterday) he works with?

These doods must be hiding in the pool.

Eh?

My x husbands girlfriend, Julie, did our makeup and she made me look flawless. Thanks Julie!

Highland Kashmir IPA: Said to have an aggressive hop character. I had one last night and that character was nowhere to be found. Not a bad beer outright, but a fair IPA at best. My opinion of Highland drops a notch.

Many Scotch ales would fit what you're looking for, too. Sam Adam's version is available in most decently stocked places and is pretty tasty this time o' year.

I shoulda saved some bottles of my first homebrew. Flat and hop-free.

Couch's whole quote needs to be repeated to appreciate the humorous: But here's the fascinating part. We can take you from a 200 pound max deadlift to a 500-750 pound max deadlift in two years while only pulling max singles four or five times a year. We will though work the deadlift, like most lifts...

Maybe star athletes are Xfitting. Is this Couch in the new Bode Miller ad:

Last round on my 13th pull-up I pullled my calf muscle

Eh?

Budweiser-American Ale-I'll try any beer once; and once was enough with this beer. Way to mellow for my taste, not as bad as the mainstream trash they brew, but I wasn't impressed. I still have 5 more bottles left (I never give away beer) so maybe I'll change my mind. Sometimes you need to try a be...

That Dirt Diva blog is a trip. Hadn't looked there before.

Let me get this straight: Even though they're increasing work capacity across broad time and modal domains evidenced by measurable, observable, repeatable data, the dude still got his ass kicked?

The lingo stuff is hard to get used to. Is this rhabdo?

The male body has arrived. Not only is it being offered up for scrutiny, it seems to be both hypermasculine and strangely feminine, a new mix that accurately reflects tremendous and ambivalent changes in our culture. http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/index.php?term=pto-1406.html&amp%3bfro...

A 700# deadlifter materializes with a suspicious tale: Long post but kinda funny. I just started at a new gym last month so dont really know anyone there and they dont know me. The only thing they see me doing is the Crossfit WOD (or my attempts at them). My background is in powerlifting but I have ...

Humoring comments from yesterday, responding to someone's request for info on Twight: When Mr. Twight speaks of “athletes”, it’s important to understand that he is referring exclusively to long distance athletes. This is the only kind of sport that he has ever participated in or has but scant experi...

The good ones are badger, pole-axed by a Chink so STROY can have babyfaced skin. The cheap ones are boar. All are ghey.

When did wearing a hat over your ears become even remotely acceptable? Is that a 'hood thang?

Dan John wrote this about Cerutty in one of his articles: I've been a fan of Percy Cerutty for years. Cerutty was an Australian track coach/guru/fitness buff/nutcase who coached some of the best middle distance runners in the world in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Some consider him a nutcase, but ...
