Study:
- "CrossFit SV Beginner's Ladder" by Judd Xavier and Tom Rankin
Question of the Day:
- What do you think of the following paragraph? (taken from the CrossFit Journal)
"One of the most compelling features of the Journal is the opportunity to discuss, debate, support, or even reject the ideas put forth in each article. In fact, the article is the starting point, not the conclusion. No article, no author, no idea is so authoritative as to be above intelligent questioning. And, part of an author’s publication in the Journal is to monitor the comments and respond when appropriate. So dig in and enrich the canon!"
- Post your replies in the comments below.
Reminds me of the first thing one of my professors told me in college; "Be skeptical. Always be skeptical." The journal embodies the spirit of each CrossFit box: Cutting edge, effective, empirically based, and drenched in camaraderie. Without the community, there is no CrossFit. The "I" in CrossFit might as well stand ONLY for INTENSITY, because nothing is done alone. We pool our ideas to make us ALL better, so why not produce literature that does the sam? The journal does just that. I think it speaks volumes about the Glassmans that articles from different viewpoints/experience are accepted, after years of only releasing articles by Greg himself. It shows a genuine openness to attaining and achieving elite fitness, by all means.
