Dr. Lon Kilgore on Exercise Science’s Defining Failure

July 1, 2014 by Russ Greene

While we are often critical of the work of exercise scientists, these critiques are aimed not at the pursuit of scientific knowledge, but the failure of the academic leadership in this field to meet the basic requirements of the scientific method. But there are exceptions. Consider Dr. Lon Kilgore. Kilgore has authored and co-authored many works that integrated science and practice. If that feat sounds easy, it’s not. Take a look at his Amazon.com author page, for example: On June 20 Kilgore published a new article […]

The NSCA’s William Kraemer vs. CrossFit Part Four

June 28, 2014 by Russ Greene

If you haven’t already seen Parts One, Two, and Three of the Kraemer vs. CrossFit series, you should check them out now. CrossFit First Described by William Kraemer? Finally, William Kraemer, the Editor-In-Chief of Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, claims he first described CrossFit’s methodology in 1987: “The training methodology advocated by these programs is not new, as resistance exercise performed at higher intensities with very short rest periods was first described by Kraemer et al., and circuit weight training […]

The NSCA’s William Kraemer vs. CrossFit Part Three

June 27, 2014 by Russ Greene

In Part One of the Kraemer vs. CrossFit series, I introduced William Kraemer’s studies on CrossFit. Kraemer took a group of people with no experience in CrossFit and had them do modified “Linda” as fast as possible, at heavy loads, and without coaching. Their squat form improved throughout the workout, yet Kraemer’s opinion of CrossFit did not change, as I covered in Part Two. Here is Part Three: Universal Load Prescription: Something CrossFit Doesn’t Do In Kraemer’s next study, Effects of High Intensity […]

The NSCA’s William Kraemer vs. CrossFit Part Two

June 26, 2014 by Russ Greene

In Part One of this series I began my review of William Kraemer’s studies. As I covered then, Kraemer is the corresponding author for 4 studies on CrossFit published in 2013 and 2014 in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. While Kraemer’s studies don’t contain fraudulent injury data, they reach some illogical conclusions and make false claims about CrossFit’s methods. Here they are: Effects of fatigue from resistance training on barbell back squat biomechanics The effects of high intensity short rest resistance […]

The NSCA’s William Kraemer vs. CrossFit Part One

June 25, 2014 by Russ Greene

Kraemer and CrossFit: the History William Kraemer is a former member of the ACSM’s Board of Trustees, and current Editor-in-Chief of the NSCA’s Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The history between Kraemer and CrossFit starts at the very beginning of CrossFit.com. The original CrossFit Journal Article “Foundations” cites his research on the neuroendocrine response: “Current research, much of it done by Dr. William Kraemer, Penn State University, has shown which exercise protocols maximize neuroendocrine responses … Heavy load weight training, short […]

The NSCA to CrossFit- Why Should We Know if What We Publish is True?

June 21, 2014 by Russell Berger

The NSCA has filed a response to CrossFit’s lawsuit against them. The NSCA denies or avoids taking a position on nearly all of the allegations included in CrossFit’s complaints. Some of these points are worth noting: First, the NSCA denies CrossFit’s allegation that the two companies are competitors in the fitness industry (item 2). This seems odd, considering the NSCA admits that a large portion of their revenue comes from certifications and renewals. When two companies generate the majority of their revenue by offering different products […]

CrossFit Inc. is Suing the National Strength and Conditioning Association

June 3, 2014 by Russell Berger

CrossFit Inc. is suing the National Strength and Conditioning Association for intentionally publishing a fraudulent study about CrossFit. You can read CrossFit’s filing here. CrossFit 614, the affiliate where corresponding author Steven Devor conducted his fraudulent study, already sued Devor and the NSCA. Unfortunately, the NSCA’s corrupted science didn’t just harm CrossFit 614. The NSCA also falsely besmirched the reputation of all CrossFit affiliates, and spread the lie that they are practicing dangerous training. The NSCA could have avoided this. I […]
