Not really, but you could. The intensity schedule is based on Rip's Practical Programming. I go heavy when possible.
Every exercise in the program requires and builds an iron trunk. I don't do anything extra other than the occasional overhead KB situps or GHDs in my metcons.

Actually, I'm surprised he didn't join us earlier.
Brandon, I always find your questions on the CF board poignant (even if only rhetorical) and your answers well-thought out, which will be appreciated here greatly. |

Would you do any warm-up sets? Or would you say for the snatches start low and work up to a set or two of heavy singles?
What about the slow lifts? Rippetoe style warm-up sets to the working sets across?

I guess my thought process was, "Do I really need another forum?" 
I'll share my experiences with my program once it's gotten a little further; it's based on longer cycles than you two's so it'll take a while longer to really judge its effectiveness. |

Brandon, this place is different. It's not a CF forum, but there are a lot of people that utilize CF or some other GPP.
Troy, I do some shoulder mobility stuff, shoulder dislocates, and mess around on the rings. I do Burgener warmups on OLY lift days. I also start with an empty bar, without fail, every time.

back to the bike--how often do you ride? how long?
I'm wondering how much the riding figures into into your fitness. The WOD-centric crowd doesn't have much time for longer duration activities--lots of frightening talk of catabolic horrors.

lol, catabolic is overblown.
Everyday stress and worrying is a more potent at inducing a catabolic state than like jogging or biking for an hour. |
