Proof that some of our Nation's companies are paying attention!Please view the following with EXTREME caution! This is the kind of crap that your will see if you don't have your "filter" on. At CrossFit Amelia Island, we pride ourselves on giving you the most up to date Coaching in our field. When so called 'experts' in our field push out stuff like this - it is easy to see how "The Novice" or 'lay fitness person' can get confused. I may get in trouble for this - but I really want all our athletes to know the truth. Please don't believe a word of Men's Fitness, Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Shape, or any other periodical without running what your have learned through your personal athletic filter. Although you are getting information 'second-hand' - it is coming directly from Coaches - Newton, Burgener, Rippetoe, Everett, Hanson, Cooper, and the like.
Some athletes will take what any "Fitness Expert" says as law. Please don't be fooled. Use what you know. Identify what makes sense. This JUNK does NOT. I hope you will agree:
Crap or Quack? By one of our industries "Guru's":

I love that you put this video up on your blog. This guy loves to hear himself talk. Let's come back to this guy's opinion about squats in 3 years and see where he's at. It will be interesting to see how much the "internet forum" grows to effect his little corner of the world. It's sad to think he's considered an "expert."
Anonymous - thank you for your comments. I agree...time will tell. I DO find it strange that we have been using the squat in one form or another since the late 1930's (and before) to develop strength. All of a sudden, in 2009 - it has become 'outdated'. Oh well...back to the BOSU....
