Discuss any program by Coach Charlie Francis.

His most popular program by far is:

The Charlie Francis Training System (CTFS):

The key to this so-called molecular memory resides in a donut-shaped protein on the surface of cells that secrete adrenaline, the hormone also known as epinephrine."

PED's in drug free sports is cheating, unethical, and weak. Athletes and/or coaches who condone/display this behavior can get lost.

I recently bought the GPP Essentials video.  It gives a fairly detailed layout of the GPP for a short to long program.  It shows how to integrate hills, med ball drills, and beginning speedwork into a GPP program.  It has analysis of running technique and demonstrations of proper weightlifting techniques as well.  It also goes into some depth discussing the warm up and how a proper warm up should be conducted.  The GPP Essentials video gives a good explanation of why the GPP is structured the way it is and shows how a proper GPP should be set up.  I am definitely glad I bought it.

I ordered the GPP dvd years ago and it took 6 months to receive the DVD.  Rupert never answered emails or PM's.  Shortly after I received the dvd mike robertson from tmag pmed me and asked what did he have to do to receive the dvd too.  he ran into the same problems.  It took over a month to receive the download site for one of the ebooks i ordered.  AN E BOOK!!  should go out within 24 hours.  i mean it's already written in pdf format.  After A week i emailed rupert, another week emailed again, no response.  FWIW I have the gpp dvd, cfts, forum review and ct's modern methods book was also purchased from them.  The last two purchases were the problem ones.

Worst part was the non responsiveness.  If there is a technical problem i don't care, just let me know so i am aware and if i think 6 months is too long to wait then... offer a refund.  I am a patient dude, all i wanted was to be in the loop.

After both of those experiences i said f'it i learned a lot but am NEVER going to do that again.  NEVER.  I'll spend my $ with people who treat me like they are selling me a service not doing ma a favor.

I have been told by many others that as long as rupert is in control of the site they will never do business with CF either

Didn't want to start a new thread, but adarq.org's getting some more love on CF's forum. Too bad it's from one of the dumb posters on there that's always getting shat on, though. Tongue

link? 10.22 is fast as shit.  Shocked

if you're trying to imply that being an elite athlete (and 10.22 qualifies in anyone's book) correlates with not asking retarded questions or making retarded claims, good luck with that. a taste:

Quote from: Race Radio
Backed up by electromyography, I find squats to be the most overrated exercise around. Even though Charlie stated 'sprinting was a back dominant sport', he still employed/favoured squats highly, which from my research are quad dominant (right? or wrong?), both front or regular & don't hit much glute neither. Wouldn't deadlifts/barbell hip thrusts/reverse hypers etc (ham/hip dominant) be favoured options?.

Anyway a bench/squat variation?. What does everyone make of these below, (opinions) please?. You don't see many people performing this any more. A forgotten strongman's exercise, great for overall body strength development.




I think there right up there IMO, anyone into really strengthening the core in particular, increasing your plank time etc should be hitting on these. According to electromyography, great for glutes, hams, delts etc.

Yes? or No?. Performed dynamically or isometrically?. All opinions appreciated.
