@asphaltpotato Best I ever did was a 4:15 about 6 years ago. I was way more fit about 3 years ago (hit a 3:09 Diane, that would've been sub-3 if the last HSPU round was only 8 reps 😂) ...so I think I could've hit a sub-4 Fran in 2021 but 2018 was the last time I did that workout because I...

@diamonddolljeanette Possible? Definitely. Common? Extremely unlikely. It's more possible than the 5:00 min mile / 500# squat, just because a "1000# club" is significantly easier than a 500# squat. So if you already have a guy that can run a 4:30/mi, training them to hit 1000# bench/squat/DL is...

@mrscutright52612 I was thinking about this. I think a field of 20, with 2 heats, and cutting down to top 10 on the last day (or last 2-3 events) is best. Fraser and Toomey are so good that there need to be multiple athletes so different people can push them on different events. It's also more...

He finished on the podium!!!

@larry3 Seems unlikely, sadly. He won't be able to finish either event, which won't earn him any points. He only had a 1 event buffer over Pat and one and a half over Brent. He now lost both of those buffers with Brent and Pat finishing 1 and 2 the P-Bar traverse. Both would need to perform...

@orochii7 No, what I'm saying is that the argument is not as simple as "strength is overly tested". A 95# bar will be a strength limiter for some men. For other men it will be a muscle endurance limiter. For others it might be a respiratory limiter. And for some it could be a...

@orochii7 Still a wrong/incomplete perspective. Consider this: a 45-55# barbell (for women) has been in the Open several times. There are many women who can lift that barbell repeatedly but can't do a single pull-up or muscle-up. What's the strength limitation then? Your blanket "external load...

@orochii7 Your analysis conveniently fails to account for a very important factor - the weight itself. The strength demand of snatching a 50 lb DB is vastly different from that needed to clean a 315 lb Barbell. I'd also argue that a 95-100# thruster for 40+ reps (something that has come up in...

@bengalinath19 Doubtful, sled events have had this same issue in the past, and Castro still programs them. Same with Sprint events. If they wanted to test pure speed they could just do it at a regular track like it's been done for years at track meets. That will prevent turf issues. Or just...

@mrjobosco You're right that they're not mutually exclusive, but I think what was meant was that a lot of gym owners are just trying to fill the gym without regard to the good practices CF tries to implement and to the detriment of good culture. However, this isn't something new. I remember...

@rgw00 Great! Never too early or too late to improve your health!
