Dex,
The original question in the thread that I was responding to was concerning cardio “Which should I be doing first?” I simply asked why the cardio and strength training should be separated? There was a response that said a person wouldn’t experience strength gains training this way. I responded with a video showing three strong ladies who only train this way. I would have been happy to discuss trainforstrength.com, undergroundstrengthcoach.com, DanJohn.org or any number of people who advocate combining strength training and “cardio” and not just CrossFit. If the question was about Bodybuilding I wouldn’t have responded, I have little interest in it. If it was about O lifting I would have responded with a vid maybe from Mikesgym.org. If it was about throwing heavy stuff I would have mentioned Danjohn.org. The question was about the best way to lose fat.
I have been in gyms training for over thirty years. I have coached and trained people for over 20 years. I would say that most people want results when they go to the gym. I would say most don’t get the results they want. I don't know whether or not most women want the capacities those women in the video have, I do know 3 have visited our site and contacted me about starting CrossFit after reading this thread.
Yesterday in our CrossFit class we had 35+ people. 1 LEO and 1 Military, the rest of the group were regular people, including a pregnant lady and a man with CP. Regular people who want results. The capacities of these regular men and women routinely drives high school athletes into the ground. The typical routine promoted in gyms is far and away better for people than sitting on the couch and watching TV. Training the way we do produces wickedly better results than the typical gym routine.
