But you don't need an Olympic bar to do sets of 50 reps, don't you?

Yeah I know what you're saying, I'm going to a very close by gym as well in the winter that is, it's like 5 minutes away. Costs a lot though (~40$ per month, my monthly salary being ~350) but whatever.

Get in a gym with a proper bar and see the difference.
I for one can't squat at all in a fixed bar squat kind of environment...

Well you better believe it makes such a dramatic difference...
If you think about it, this takes away so much from your leg strength potential because you can't use a weight that's actually challenging for your leg strength. You use a weight that's challenging for your form, while the legs can cope with that weight with no problems whatsoever.
That's a lot of lost training stimulus.

I was about to bet that. Does it have rotating ends? Or what you mean by "steady thickness" is that it doesn't?
If if doesn't it makes such a big difference when squatting because it creates forces on the back that weren't supposed to be there (because the ends don't rotate to take those forces away).

Program Review / Re: Jump Manual
« on: October 05, 2010, 02:56:27 am »Jacob is actually a really nice person and quite knowledgable about Jump Training. He spends a lot of time helping his customers and making sure they get results. If you were to follow his program I am sure you would do ok.
I agree. You can watch his one-leg jumping technique video, it's on youtube. It's pretty good stuff and it's correct stuff.

Yeah I guess you're right. It's even more on your part, knowing how I'm a genius and a playboy and all that stuff. 
I'm sure you wouldn't laugh if I sang "Lady Marmelade", would you?

You tell me...
I'm so much into writing in my blog (personal one) about life in general... but I'm so lazy. I come up with great ideas but I'm like "nah... I don't really want to write right now"

Yeah but maybe adding links to stuff like "here's a strength template" or "here's the typical hypertrophy workout" etc would be great.

Why the hell do you keep on laughing?
Just because you know I'm the one singing? Like what goes through your mind, not actually knowing me in person?
"Oh, this guy that talks shit about squats and writes strength and plyo blog articles is singing like a woman most of the times" or what?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Kipups - Did I also mention, I hate these?
« on: October 04, 2010, 01:27:27 pm »Once again, Andrew, you demonstrate to the world how much of a pussy you are. Kipping pull ups are highly functional and very hardcore.
Idiot.
I beg your pardon? I don't see any bosu balls... how can they be functional then?
Bosu balls are for pussies. Any good Crossfitter knows that unstable surface training is worthless.

I think it would've been best if you were to describe each thing in terms of volume and intensity (like what a strength workout should look like, what a hypetrophy workout should look like etc).
