Just got one from Chad Vaughn actually...

Not to take anything away from Chad (obviously he's a C&J record holder) but I REALLY don't like the comparison to the olympics, everyone's thoughts on this? |

This strikes me as flat out delusional. |

Yeah, this is what really bothered me...how can someone acheive the same status of an elite oly caliber while also training the slow lifts, gymnastics, swimming, metcons, extended aerobic runs when the best weightlifters in the world spend decades of rigorous training on perfecting 2 of the most challenging movements in the history of challening movements? Rhetorical... |

Well we'll see. When a top 10 finisher at the games makes it to the Olympics in the same 4 year cycle I will become a CF devotee.

What he's saying is that they have gone from 20% slop to only 15% slop.
