The couch thread

BMac is showing his stupid again.

Peaking is difficult, sometimes seemingly impossible, however, the alternative to preparation is losing.

No, the alternative is BEING READY FOR ANYTHING EVERYDAY AND COMPETING EVERYDAY. YOU "TRAIN." THEY "COMPETE." DAILY. BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT LIFE WILL THROW AT YOU! WINRAR!!!!!!!!

...unless it involves things like crossing finish lines or leaving goal posts unmoved.

Specialization is for insects.

Your warmup is their workout.

Bmack talking about peaking and periodization???

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Holy shit man. Tell that to the tens of thousands of real athletes who use principles of periodization to properly peak. Jesus christ I hate him with a passion. I honestly want to fight him.

[Mountebank]

Is the co-author of that article the Anthony Roberts that I'm thinking of???

Having consistent excellent performances, like the triathlete in his article did, DOESN'T MEAN HE DIDN'T PEAK FOR EVERY RACE. JFC, what an idiot.

If "training through" events helped people win, doesn't he think that people would have figured that out long ago? Hell, even Broz changes things up the week or two before a big meet!

As was said before, BMac's performances when it counts show the validity of his approaches (which seem to be counter the norm just to fit in the @F way).

Well, even if he tries to run he'll DNF and you'll be able to pummel him.

Win. Win.

BMAC sez periodization is dead:

Periodization has no place in the arsenal of the modern DNFer.

That is the idea. Shoe malfunction and a beating

Just when I think he might have wised up and let his devotees do the talking for him while using idiot circular logic to justify their arguments, D-Mac-NF comes out of the woodwork and pukes out another nugget of idiocy. All he needs is to be loaded up with bottles and bottles of gin, get a bloat-gut, and he can replace Couch.

exactly. he's just waiting in the wings for glasshole to choke in a pool of his own vomit (the HQ PR machine will likely spin it into a fatal case of rhabdo from testing some cutting edge new shit).

mayor mccheez has nearly perfected the art of being a complete idiot and decreasing the performance of his clients while increasing his own buzz and celebrity. when he finally stops working out entirely and starts permanently injuring his runners, he'll be ready for the throne.

That is the one...I don't know about Mr. Robert's thoughts on peaking, but I use his PCT cycle and it works like a charm!

Who's next in the @FJ? Dave Palumbo?

@Fers...you should know more about your new @FJ author...from his own site bio:

He holds a USARFU level one coaching certification, is a professional member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and holds an additional Level 1 Instructor certification.

Uh...a bit different bio was posted with the article:

Anthony Roberts is a @F Level trainer and holds a @F Endurance certificate. He is also a USARFU Level 1 Coach.

LOFL! Hiding much from your readers?!?! This same picture was posted in the @FJ article, except for the fact that the STEROID.COM wording on his jacket arm just happened to be trimmed off:

Seriously, if it were fiction it couldn't be set up any better for a massive implosion than by bringing a "steroid guru" into the @FHQ fold at this point. Is Anthony getting a free flight to the Gaymes in order to help all the @FHQ favorites?

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Yeah, AR's big area of expertise is drug use and speculation on drug use.

On legal HRT IIRC.

Former T-mag steroid guy-fell out with them for assorted reasons. He just doesn't get along well with anyone who actually knows stuff, so him and Bmac are like the perfect match.

[clutch]

The amusing thing is AR's reception by the hard-core, long-term AAS users - he's pretty much dismissed as a complete twat. How fitting that's he shows up as cutting-edge material for CrossPuke.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

As drug gurus go, he's a b-lister, plus he's had all those problems with "employers".

I think he's perfect for @F, though, because he's not too big, or muscular, and he 'played rugby'.

I do like his reporting of steroid busts and the way he outed that even bigger douchbag Darren Mead on Progenex. Saying that, I think that's probably the intersection of Bmac and AR (the progenex derision)

[WildGorillaMan]

Is Progenix still an official @fit sponsor? If so, isn't this going to rock the boat?

Yes. Yes they are.

Totally not what I was hoping for.

[WildGorillaMan]

On a related note, tomorrow's Wednesday Warmup on Team Gorilla is going to feature a fundamental subject that I think we can all get behind. Stay tuned.

[TerryB]

That's a real who's who of sponsors, there.

[WildGorillaMan]

So far, the buzz from the community on the various new Crossfit Reebok products and prototypes that have debuted have ranged from mild enthusiasm to downright hostility. Is it time to start a pool on when Reebok pulls the plug? Will it be immediately after the '11 games or will they give it another couple of quarters?

[Dan Martin]

I think the real test will be whether Reebok pays the winners or not.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Reebok would make a killing scaling down an Adidas OL shoe for Crossfitters to buy economically. Say, $75?
