You just asked about Crossfit, BTW.

Five rounds for time of:
135 pound Deadlift, 15 reps
135 pound Hang power clean, 12 reps
135 pound Front Squat, 9 reps
135 pound Push Jerk, 6 reps

135 is pretty heavy so I used 95 lbs. Even still it took me 35:35, Mostly due to muscular fatigue and not so much cardio.

This a picture from a crossfit certification seminar in Santa Cruz. What I like about crossfit so much is that its the sport of making your body a power plant, the question is how much power can you produce?

Check out Tosh producing close to 1/2 of a horsepower for more than 2 minutes. Also pay special attention to the brand of the timers green jacket...

(Video is ok for anyone, no music either.)


Here are your options: you either crossfit with me or you get weaker and fatter every day. If you're a cop or play hockey or want to be a man someday you pretty much don't have a choice. Crossfit isn't about looking like a bowflex ad, its about developing functional strength and endurance, plus its so much fun it shouldn't be allowed.

Ok I should probably say something intelligent or I'm gonna get yelled at.

Star gate is growing on me. But I still (ironically) hate the pile of muscle with no character.
