etothepii had a link to the CrossFit site in the discussion of Tabata workouts -- that site is fascinating. I don’t know about being spoon-fed a prescribed work-out every day, but their general approach is exactly what I have been aiming for in fitness development: a high level of overall fitness. Thus, add plyometrics, aerobic conditioning, stretching, balance, and functional strength work to your basic strength and hypertrophy work-outs.
Anybody have some experience with the CrossFit workouts? Impressions?
I know that this is a dedicated hypertrophy site, but I gotta say I just don’t get questions like “why do aerobic work at all?” Big and strong muscles are an important part of the package, but why not aim for excellent physical condition overall?
