Other gems from Greg's article: So why should we compromise any element of fitness at anytime? Because in order to genuinely emphasize one element, we need to create slack elsewhere.

hey wasn't there a vitriolic reply from GG in this page basically defending steroids? did it get memory holed?

You are correct. It's documented somewhere on page 106.

Saw it this past Saturday. I thought it was excellent. Mickey Rourke perfectly plays the character of Randy "The Ram." While the story is a straightforward tale of a man trying to avert self destruction, it's masterfully crafted with no unnecessary filler. Overall, it's gritty and depressi...

The adidas were 10s and the Nikes are too. The nikes seem to run a little bit narrower. I the play in the laces and the velcro will allow accommodation though so I didn't need to go with a larger size on the nikes. Thanks! Pretty much what I thought, but just wanted to make sure. I actually managed...

Sandman,
Thank you very much for the review. Out of curiosity, what size Adidas shoe did you wear and how does the sizing compare with the Nikes? I usually wear an 8.5 shoe, but had to go 9 with the Ironworks due to the narrow fit.

Thanks in advance.

Hahaha. He kind of lost me on that one as well.

Founding Farther lays the smack down on David Wood (and more). What a load of crap. Yeah, why bother using the private message function when you can criticize someone in public.

Right on. It's not like the many years of strength building, performing thousands of quality repetitions of the lifts, and the utmost dedication (specialization) to the sport had anything to do with it.

xfit vs Olympian discussion.

Ah yes, with the Olympics almost upon us, the armchair commentary heats up.

I believe it's a constant game of one-upsmanship, except they're moving further and further into the depths of jackassery instead of, ummm, focusing on something more productive like getting stronger or more skilled at something.

Next up: Clean and jerking barbells on fire to build heat tolerance.

Yeah, I never really understand why people feel the need to write letters of resignation on internet fitness forums.

Unless you're going to bitch everyone out and go down in flames, why not just leave??

It's funny that I was called out as not only being a clown and a coward, but I also, I found out, "have a bad squat." But, I squat. I find that rather hypocritical, seeing as to how frequently you see them using giant balls to gauge squat depth (in people who should have been weened off o...
