    Europe & Asia Day Semi-final Weekend Discussion Thread

    @jimmyjam_85 You mean the male flowmaster? I don't know, my dude. Depends on what century. He'd fit right in at a jousting tournament in the 1200s

    @shiga Worst part is that he is willfully mispronouncing Danish and Swedish names due to him talking in his American stage accent. 100% correct Danish pronunciation doesn't go with the rhythm of speaking English for an example. To the point, he kept saying Team Butcher's Lab Kree-ger when it...

    @epicpaymentsny No one said it has to be under those circumstances, mate. Being a weapon team member under INTOPS isn't the only functional context, lol

    @epicpaymentsny So because you can't see auto correct when it stares you in the face, nor have any experience maneuvering in the real world - you start flaming? A wall. Have you tried to get over a tall obstacle before?

    C&J/Bench Press ratio

    @pilgramspirit Mine is actually also around 1:1. Primarily Because my jerk is weak technically.

    @epicpaymentsny A couple of weeks ago. And yes it requires something extremely akin time a muscle up. It isn't the exact same movement because it's done on a completely different implement with no standards for not using a leg to swing over for an example. But in either case. Functional is not...

    19.3 thoughts/Strict HSPU testing alternatives

    @little_sparrow Very interesting write up. I'll ponder more on this and reply in greater detail. One thing to note, however, is that I fundamentally believe you (and those who have said this in years past) are wrong in your assumption that they change the HSPU standard in order so that it can't...

    Getting burnt out on CF and thinking of switching it up a bit (advice needed!

    @virginity Awesome. Home gymming is the Best. I highly recommend it and there are a Lot of good sources on it. The SS book is one of the best training books in existence. Just be careful of the SS disciples and their hate for conditioning and altering the program to fit your needs if you visit...

    @epicpaymentsny Who the fuck said anyone was going to do this in a situation where the enemy could potentially be on the other side and open fire in you? What is this? Fox News subforum?

    @mebaby333 It isn't the most EFFICIENT in almost all cases. Agreed. A step and jump into a 'wall muscle up' is the fastest way to traverse a high wall though, with a leg swing following or simultaneously with the dip to get over the obstacle as low aa possible. Whether or not it is the most...

    @virginity 5/3/1 is a program designed for advanced strength athletes. As a male, if you aren't squatting 500lbs for reps it likely isn't relevant for you. The Starting Strength system includes many options, and has a load of data compared to most other systems. I'd try out the linear novice...

    @mebaby333 As a former military obstacle course athlete and physical educator of soldiers, I don't agree with you at all. Getting over a wall that is low enough to do a step and jump OBVIOUSLY don't warrant muscle ups. That's besides the point. We also have to look at what we define functional...

    @epicpaymentsny A bar Muscle up is super functional for anyone wanting to jump a fence or Walk etc.

    @coloradogrrrl21 Notice how Wendler was squatting 800lbs when he designed that program for himself? A program for an 800lbs squatter is NOT the most ideal program for a 200-300lbs squatter, that's just a logical reality of science of strength and conditioning. 5/3/1 is not a good program for...

    @grace4nan I'm not privy to more information than most on that topic. I personally don't think Phil and RedPill are, in any way, are the right pick for top level athletes in the sport though. I don't think Sara and CrossFit are high enough on their priority list for her to have gotten what she...

    @wangsamax I agree, I just see 5/3/1 so often being mentioned when other programs should be higher up the list and I wanted to help others not waste the time I did (given my goals of course). Thanks for a good debate. P.s. thanks for the compliment, I was trying to prove a point as far as...

    Getting burnt out on CF and thinking of switching it up a bit (advice needed!

    @wangsamax The gains on the 5/3/1 program is set to 5lbs a month per standard. So if you did the program as prescribed 70lbs increase is 13 months of 5/3/1. Which is a whole shitton of gains if that 70lbs takes you from a 430 1RM back squat to a 500 1RM back squat, but absolutely nothing if you...

    @grace4nan I don't think Kellner was good for her. I actually, unlike most people, admire the guy for his coaching abilities and insight. Maybe it's because I'm an army officer, who knows. I've also spoken at length with Erik about his experience coaching her. I agree with his assessment of...
