Wrecking Crew...

So I came in with little time but more frustrated than usual. Mostly about the same things, I feel out of place now more each day. The more I train and prepare for a call that will never come, the more angry I become at the situation. I'm searching for salvation in the writtings of Mark Twight yet I feel as though the follow through from his teachings are lost.

CrossFit is every house hold wife's dream of workouts and has given many former athletes a reason to be competative again. The principles are hardlined in science and have many reputable individuals who are supporters and endorsed through CrossFit.



..."Strength and conditioning coaches often describe CrossFit's programming — or lack thereof — as senseless and random. Alwyn Cosgrove notes that this "all over the place" programming can be dangerous:
"A recent CrossFit workout was 30 reps of snatches with 135 pounds. A snatch is an explosive exercise designed to train power development. Thirty reps is endurance. You don't use an explosive exercise to train endurance; there are more effective and safer choices.
"Another one was 30 muscle-ups. And if you can't do muscle-ups, do 120 pull-ups and 120 dips. It's just random; it makes no sense. Two days later the program was five sets of five in the push jerk with max loads. That's not looking too healthy for the shoulder joint if you just did 120 dips 48 hours ago."
Mike Boyle adds, "I think high-rep Olympic lifting is dangerous. Be careful with CrossFit."
And here's Charles Poliquin: "If you try to do everything in your workout, you get nothing. CrossFit is different, and maybe even fun for some people, but it's not very effective. No athlete has ever gotten good training like that."

There are so many attacks over which "system" is superior and who can piss better than the guy/girl their lined up against.

Truth is, I think 90% of all of it from both sides is $^^^. The only thing that has be back to Twight is the fact that through his writtings, he has decided to unplug and live the lifestyle he has choosen. Not the other way around...

NO ONE, and I repeat NO ONE!!! Ever invented the SQUAT, PUSH, PULL, BEND, TWIST, or LUNGE! Unless they created the human being....then they have dibs on copywrite infringment....

If afterall, we are after the same goal (so I would believe) which is to make ourselves better than the day before. Just how you get there (if you get your lazy sorry ass there!) and how you apply what you have found along the way. That's the part where we all will detour from the rest, well will never be at the same place ever again after the start....

Here's to the work I completed yesterday, my goal is elusive yet remains in my sights...as it always has been...
