    …and here’s the response to Rippetoe’s article from the other day.

      good response, all valid points. It all comes back to form vs. intensity. If the right coaching and accountability is there, the intensity will never outweigh the form and high rep anything can build valuable fitness.

      Final point – Strength is not the end all be all. Riptoes fat ass couldn’t do more than 3 reps of getting off the couch. He may be strong but my nana could beat him in a 200 meter shuttle. And if Nana had a gun in a Riptoe manhunt, she would prove that when she chased Riptoe down, stronger people aren’t always harder to kill.

        08/29/2013 @ 12:32 pm

        Agree on the form vs. intensity point- very well said. I really liked the author’s rebutting argument about how an athlete’s form can break down on max efforts.
