  1. Powerlifting Plus Crossfit. Can they co-exist?

    Kind of following on from Rob's thread on conditioning. Powerlifting fundamentally is a skill based pursuit based on the expression of maximal strength, which often combines power training with bodybuilding. Crossfit is probably the most efficient activity for creating a solid fitness base...

    Interesting statement made in the "traps" thread got me tinken. to all you goat rooters. Based on training techniques and in general terms, who do you think would (all things being equal) be more conditioned to jog 10KM's?

    I've read many times about the benefits of 20 rep squat sets, and I've started adding a set of 20 reppers at around 60% of my 1RM at the end of my squat session. Needless to say they are fucking hard and get a bit messy. Oh well, no pain no gain. Anyway, is it smart/sensible/advised/beneficial...
