Dissecting Accusations, by Dr. Lon Kilgore

August 31, 2015 by Russ Greene

Editor’s Note: We are pleased to present this guest post by Dr. Lon Kilgore. A new article was recently released by Lu and colleagues entitled “CrossFit-related cervical internal carotid artery dissection.” Many detractors of CrossFit training have seized upon this article as a basis for statements that CrossFit causes injury (6). There are a number of reasons why such accusations lack merit. The first and most important reason is that the authors, in the sixth sentence of the paper, state that […]

What Has Exercise Science Contributed to Concurrent Strength and Conditioning?

August 27, 2015 by Russ Greene

Editor’s Note: We are pleased to present this guest post by John Weatherly. Most Need Strength AND Conditioning People have different needs and goals for exercise programs. Many may want to get stronger or more powerful, have more endurance, and look as well as feel better. Similarly, most athletes require a combination of strength, power, and endurance that helps improve performance in their sport. There are extremes at the ends of a continuum such as a competitive lifter whose goal […]

Just Steal It?

August 26, 2015 by Russell Berger

Does Nike believe they are above respecting CrossFit’s intellectual property? History suggests so. Nike has recently taken direct aim at the CrossFit market with the release of a shoe known as the “Metcon.” This shoe is obviously in competition with the Reebok CrossFit Nano shoe. Competition isn’t a bad thing, and generally leads to innovation and increased consumer choice. Unfortunately, Nike’s idea of competition seems to include blatant infringement of the CrossFit brand name. Despite what Nike may think, individuals and companies are not […]

Coke Spending Millions to Manipulate Science, by Dr. Harold Goldstein

August 26, 2015 by Russell Berger

Editor’s Note: We are please to present the following article from Dr. Harold Goldstein. Dr. Goldstein is the Executive Director of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. He is also the Executive Director of Kick the Can. Like a cat caught with the pet canary in its mouth, the world’s largest beverage company has guilt written all over its face. With little feathers still floating all over the house, Coca-Cola wants us to believe it is filled with remorse for spending millions of […]

NSCA’s Impossible Step Up, by Dr. Lon Kilgore

August 26, 2015 by Russ Greene

Editor’s Note: We are pleased to present this guest post by Dr. Lon Kilgore. Interrogative: What should professional fitness trainers teach their trainees about performing step ups? Evidence: The NSCA’s Essentials of Strength Training & Conditioning offers incongruent and unachievable instructions to trainers on teaching clients to perform the step up exercise. To wit; Instruction 1 – Use a standard overhand grip, just wider than shoulder width Instruction 2 – Step under the bar and position the feet parallel to […]

The Sport Science Myth Part 3, by John Weatherly

August 25, 2015 by Russ Greene

Editor’s Note: John Weatherly concludes his three-part series on the myth of American sport science looking at corporate “Sports Science” institutes. See Part 1 and Part 2. The first two parts of this series helped define and determine how rare sports science is in the US. This article will focus on the MusclePharm Sports Science Institute along with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute to see what these company sports science institutes actually do for real athletes and sports. The MusclePharm […]

Greg Glassman; Comment #20

August 7, 2015 by Russell Berger

This comment, by CrossFit CEO and founder Greg Glassman originally appeared on CrossFit.com in the comments section of 150805. I’ve removed it from its original context, but its value goes beyond rebuking the specific commenters mentioned. Anyone who believes (erroneously) that the L1 is an inferior credential, and therefore CrossFit trainers should be licensed and regulated by our competitors, should read the following carefully. As the principal architect of the CrossFit L1 Training Certificate I’m sure I have a bias when […]
