Does this signify unrest, or is Progenex on the way out?

He actually just said that whey DOESN'T have amino acids in it in that blog post. Retarded. Guess he's never looked at the label for the amino acid breakdown of protein powders before...cuz PROTEIN is made of AMINO ACIDS, duh. Adding extra amino acids to a @Fer-owned whey protein does not negate the presence of amino acids in other whey proteins, guy.Progenex “Recovery” formula does not have any amino acids in it.
In all fairness he makes a few good points there about Progenex that most of us already knew, but the sheeple didn't think of because they are too busy sucking @fit cock to determine shit for themselves. Regardless, he is an idiot for his nice little amino acid fuckup.WildGorillaMan wrote:Given how many of you are on BMackWatch, I'm a little surprised that none of you thought this was newsworthy last month.

And as far as the Doyle thing at Iowa goes. Doyle is well-respected, he has a history of producing beasts out of skinny ass kids, but according to reports the entire S&C staff was present at those workouts. The blame will ultimately fall on him.

Last season's results were a disappointment for the Iowa faithful. The weight room is where champions are made. The S&C staff either was told to or took it upon themselves to make a difference towards next season. Obviously, the results of the recent workouts were not what was expected. But, you have to wonder just what was expected from those sessions?
THE FUCK?? I BOUGHT 10 POUNDS OF PROTEIN POWDER WITHOUT AMINO ACIDS???Progenex “Recovery” formula does not have any amino acids in it.

Thirteen ended up in the hospital. There's probably twice that many who were right on the edge their ownselves. Of those 13, it will be interesting to see what sort of "contribution" they will make to the team next fall.

...If you want to stop looking like a skinny @Fer, stop doing all the stupid shite that @Fers do!A few things struck me in your question, so lets start there. The first thing you tell me is, you have been doing CrossFit for 2 years. CrossFit is a training program predicated on increased work capacity. Their wheelhouse is muscular endurance and movements to failure. It is very hard to build explosive athletes when the majority of training lays in testing lactic acid threshold and destruction of your body. Check out the network of CrossFitters on Facebook on any given day and read their training comments…“Totally, destroyed myself today. Awesome!”.
The next thing you tell me is you are very lean. From my experience, lean is just a cool way to say you are skinny. If you have low body fat and a ton of lean body mass words like jacked and rocked up find there way into the mix.
In the next sentence, you confirm you are skinny and not as strong as you wish. But you know this and in an effort to increase your strength and explosive ability you go on a strict Zone/Paleo diet of roughly 1900 calories.
1900 calories?! That is less than 10 calories per pound of body weight. We know if you are doing anything that includes metabolic conditioning you need at least 15-17 calories just to maintain your size.
Just for reference, my girlfriend is 123 lbs, trains 5 days a week and squats over 2 x body weight and she eats around 1800 calories.
Your starvation strategy results in a 20 lbs weight loss and a loss of strength and power.
Crazy.
And your next question is…should you eat more?
Then finally, we get to your goals of gaining muscle without losing endurance.
1. Yes…eat more. The only thing I want you to count is protein; at least one gram per pound of body weight.
2. If you want an easy to remember way to measure your food…count it in pounds. “How many pounds of meat did I eat today?”. Simple.
3. If your current training program is not making you stronger and more explosive, then find a new training program. Start by taking a look at how explosive strong athletes train. Everyone wants to look like a 100-meter sprinter or Olympic weightlifter, but his or her training program looks nothing like an Olympic weightlifter or sprinter. Those athlete’s training programs are full of heavy weights, explosive movements, long rest periods and a ton of max efforts, whether it be in the weight room or on the track. Most athletes’ physical appearance is a result of years of training for their sport. If you want to look like a marathon runner, starting running marathons. If you want to look like a body builder, then check out Muscle & Fitness and get a fanny pack.

Some guy on the @Fit boards. The kool-aid is strong with this one. Minority?!wow - I saw this too and wanted to chat it up on the CF site to get some reactions. The workout sounds a little CF-ish, huh? Apparently Chris Doyle is in the minority of college strength coaches who don't believe in CF methods.

Yeah if he WERE a crossfit trainer, he would've superset those squats with GHR situps for maximum rhabdo.tzg wrote:Some guy on the @Fit boards. The kool-aid is strong with this one.

I don't blame him at all for that blog post, and I can also tell you that I know of a few athletes who have gotten rhabdo from offseason workouts, but at the time we didn't know what it was called other than "dude I am pissing brown??"syaigh wrote:I don't know about that.Jay wrote:

He makes some rather hyperbolic statements about football players implying that they get rhabdo on a regular basis. And then he blames their condition on their eating "inflammatory food" and drinking too much beer. He's in @fit brand protection mode and making a lot of excuses.
God forbid he just break free altogether. For fuck's sake he has the following to do it.
I thought the blog post was a cop-out.
But, you can't blame him, I guess, with the Reebok launch underway, there's a lot more money to be made by giving people just enough information and bravado to permanently fuck themselves up.
I was thinking today that all the "strength bias" and smart programming boxes could just create a commonly used phrase to identify themselves, it might be easier to leave and still maintain their "community". Or, they could just do what a lot of us did and just leave period. Hasn't hurt my business one bit.
Well, I understand the coaches beating the shit out of players. We lose a few players every year to overzealous coaches who don't believe in letting kids drink water or recover from their impending heat stroke.Jay wrote: I don't blame him at all for that blog post, and I can also tell you that I know of a few athletes who have gotten rhabdo from offseason workouts, but at the time we didn't know what it was called other than "dude I am pissing brown??"
There are some old-school coaches who beat the fuck out of you to condition you. In my senior year of high school I came in weighing 190 and ended up at 170 at the end of summer camp. And I wasn't chubby at 190. We had 2 players that year that had to be hospitalized, but back then that wasn't an issue. Now it would be all over the local news.
I expect university strength coaches to know better, and especially NFL strength coaches.
