You're Out Of Shape

"As I always say "The more you can train without exceeding your capacity to recover, the more you'll progress".

"Well, the thing is that if your work capacity, or more specifically your capacity to tolerate physical work, is low then you cannot do a lot of training before exceeding your capacity to recover."—Christian Thibaudeau, TNation.com

We chose the above article to re-post because of the message, not so much for the exact plan. We also chose this to re-post because if you CrossFit then you know that improving work capacity is one of our main themes. This is why the folks who come from Globo gyms and are in decent shape find out rather quickly that they're not in the shape they thought they were in. Good shape doesn't equal good CrossFit shape. The difference between good shape and good CrossFit shape comes from the difference in work capacity, intensity and the variety of whole body, functional movement that is performed.

I'm also amused by the CrossFit-detractors who are obviously influenced by CrossFit, at least to some extent, and how they implement the CrossFit principles into their programs. Some have the unique ability to bad-mouth CrossFit then have a Crossfit workout implemented into their own program. It's hard to argue with success I guess–even when it hurts to admit.

The main criticisms of CrossFit stem from the work capacity and intensity aspects of the workouts. So our question is: Is a workout built on high intensity and greater work capacity good when it comes from another source and bad when it comes from CrossFit or is constantly improving your work capacity a good thing regardless of the source?

The question is completely rhetorical.

Women And Muscle

"In my gym, the girls with the heaviest lifts and the best overall physical capacity are also the girls with bodies that are envied by the rest. I think that most girls who are new to fitness would assume that you can either be strong or you can be cute. I think most men would disagree – at least men with any fitness experience."—Jason Seib, Primitive Stimulus
