How about some basketball? I'm all... l'inspired...

I still think, after the last decade of "experimentation" with crossfit and other HIIT type activities, that I agree with Mark Twight's conclusion: there's no free lunch. If you train HIIT, you'll get good at HIIT. If you train LSD, you'll be good at LSD. And more telling; I can do HIIT better now, ...

I think anything with truffles adds about 10000+ calories...

Since you've brought it up, free free to think of something. My suggestions keep getting rejected for being too... optimistic (regarding our general level of skill, strength and mental capacity for remembering numbers ).

The physical test consisted of a constant run that combined several degrees of high effort (mountain run and ultra-endurance), in permanent climbing how is this relevant to your mode of exercise?!? And what the heck is creeping golden polypody/samambia anyway? http://www.rain-tree.com/samambia.htm ...

Hmm, ok well I'm game, I guess if I can hit my previous PBs for sq/pr/dl ~110, 90 and 135 I shouldn't be too ashamed to try. And there's plenty of time between each "round" to peak! anybody else going to try? I'll need some help to make sure I do the lifts correctly prior to meet day, theoretically ...

no seniors category for the >40?

I only fall into the intermediate category for a 67kg'er in the exrx site... bordering on advanced on a good day!

what MUs? I think I taped over it... heh heh...

I think my time was 13:44, Keith was 14:50, not sure about Xian, and Elliott went off and did 3 rounds, so no idea when his first round went.

It was ...fun...

Yes, thanks Sufian. And all the best for your training for your qualifiers, just remember to enjoy yourself, and you'll be hitting PBs during the races!

flip the tire 37 times each?

ok ok, 1975 times each...

A WOD with 400m and then prowler finishers? 37 is kinda hard to work around since it's a prime number, any suggestions other than do 37 reps in a row? lol Would love to get some swings, pullups and 400m in. Hmm, sounds like Helen. Phing how are your elbows holding up? oops, happy b'day keith! we co...

no worries, I'm up for it, need to work off the post xmas, ny, cny excesses...

I'm ok except for the 27th

Why: cuz we outta shape I'll just go to a corner and cry now... Umm, this sunday should be ok, but I need to stay away from high rep pullups to let my elbows get better. Or else start doing ring pullups. Actually, high rep anything where I have to hold onto something for long periods, including KB ...

There are times when you just want to sit back and just go... WOW!

If only I was 25 again...

Sadly, I didn't have much footage to work with, despite having footage from two cameras. Action was either too jerky, not focussed (Goi's camera footage seemed out of focus most of the time), or not enough time on one person/set of people to get a good sense of the action, so I could join the pieces...

rush job, but here you go:

strangely, a good article from men's journal, and no, I don't read men's journal, just saw a copy-n-paste of the article on a backpacking site. http://www.mensjournal.com/everything-you-know-about-fitness-is-a-lie/print/ TRUTH 1: YOUR GYM IS YOUR ENEMY.

Not sure yet, depends on how saturday goes. But tentatively yes...

I'm guessing holding, yielding=isometric, eccentric/negative phase overload...

Surprise surprise, movement specific pattern is better than non-movement specific pattern...

well, we do know that using EPOC as a gauge of work done is not directly correlated, but EPOC is one of the "simpler" measurements that is correlated in "some" way, and in some ordinal sense, but perhaps not cardinally (i.e. higher EPOC means more work done, albeit x2 EPOC doesn't mean x2 work effor...

My back is quite sore too. And my finger hurts like hell (as a result, I had to switch to mixed grip during a set of deadlift; I think I ended up doing 60 reps in DLs rather than 50... sigh).
