He's highly trained.
He's pretty fucking strong already.
He's got to maintain the conditioning work.

Indeed. For a lightweight wrestler, the thought of adding 10# is pretty significant. But damn, 10 pounds of rip...what to do? #Whole 9, #Lean Mass Gain, #LMG, #8 pounds six weeks!!!!11

will he gain 10 pounds or won't he????

pins & needles!! pins & needles!!

He is mentally unable to cross that rubicon.

perhaps he'll just follow the normal crossfart ladies program and use da joose.

I started to think about this. I recently added 12 pounds to my 190# starting weight. 6.3% added...which keeps me unimpressed as to what he is considering doing.

I'm guessing it will be about as beneficial to him @F-wise as Rob Orlando dropping from 220(?) down to his current 185#, see where that got him...

He may have to go to something more than the standard Anavars though, and the six-pack may be less etched afterwards. OH NOEZ!

Percentages aside, you were already big enough to lift significant weight. He is not...and still won't be even with ten pounds. He is better off at being everybody's favorite undersized underdog than a slightly bigger also-ran. And hell, Rob would have been better off taking swim lessons at the Red Cross.

It's the @F ideal, is it not? He's their bodyweight exercise asskicker, but not big enough to lift weights like the bigger guys.

Hence the solution is to add bodyweight...which will bring him closer to mediocre in both bodyweight and barbell exercises. The @F way...search for how to be mediocre in all modal domains.

Trying to fit a square peg in a round hole...exact same as Orlando, just the opposite direction.

Exactly, and I wonder how his running will suffer with all this emphasis on strength and increased bodyweight. I think he was a fast runner back when he first started CF (there was a great vid of him doing 4x400m + 50 squats in a fast time), though I haven't seen anything that leads me to think he's gotten any better or even maintained that speed on that front.

Winning a trail run at the Games means nothing because it's not a standard distance or terrain. All it means is that you're faster than other CFers.

Let's see them put a 1 mile run on a certified track at the Games and see who really is a good runner. They'll never do that.

Let's see you put your "elite" runner in the Games and see how far he throws a softball, BITCH.

Wow, thanks Couch.

In the end, Couch's contribution to this whole thing will be the idea of the fitness community--and it is significant. The community trumps knowledge, coaching ability, and client results. Any aspiring gym owner should focus on building community, running a business, and cooperative marketing. Knowledge and ability are a distant second.

Sooooo. Flailing around like a retard is called 'Kipping' now? Hmm.

I can't decide if that is borderline as far as douchebaggery can go or brilliant satire.

Too bad he didn't misfire at the top of those sit ups and take part of his retarded head off.

Trimmed for redundancy. Same video as above post.

Is it just me, or is that video posted twice in a row?

I'm excited by the thought that some idiot will try and mix KBs and firearms in a box. Dodge ricochets for time motherfuckers.

That's funny, WGM must have just beat me to the punch. Great minds...
