Varied Not Random #68: Pat & Boz share their favorite CrossFit Journal articles/video

[@michaelptm2269]

The smile on Pats face just shows his love for CrossFit. Very cool

[@bobselmayer6913]

Hello Pat and Adrian, I did not even finish listening to your podcast before I went over to the KZbin video that you mentioned. I watched it, then I watched another , and another featuring Mr Glassman. It occurred to me again, just as it did when his cancelling went down. How can people so quickly forget all the good this man has brought to the world. He is brilliant, giving, and he cares. Heaven forbid he should be human. There are so many relevant gems out there. Gosh, I wish he would come back and right the ship Thanks for everything!

My friends bought me a powerlifting bench, barbells and dumbbells for my basement for my 18th birthday back in the 80s in Italy

[@laurengraham5475]

Great friends!!

[@scottymac8888]

Can you guys please do that test? and please do another one of these reviews of old articles. They're great💪💪

[@Thejuliejones]

I always love your insights. I love DT because the weight just above that threshold where you think you can do it on paper. But by round two, you realize that you have to work more on cycling hang cleans 😂

I discovered your podcast a few months ago and immediately got hooked :) I've been doing CrossFit for 10 years, since when I was 32, overweight, and very insecure. Today, I'm still not especially good at it but whatever, I love it and it changed my life completely in many ways, all for the better. I recently even decided to get my CF-L1! The course starts end of August, and will hopefully allow me to change my life for the better even more. You are both a huge inspiration, so thank you for everything, every week.

[@timgibbons890]

Congratulations! This is inspiring to see and you are making great strides in making your life better through fitness and knowledge. The CF-L1 is great!

[@tinedebetue2487]

@@timgibbons890 Thank you :)

[@spencergsmith]

YES! One of my favorite pastimes currently is reading “old” CF Journal articles, especially any written by Glassman.

[@paulkane8189]

Really cool segment. You could do this again with your next best articles from the Journal.

[@georgecoleman7724]

During COVID when my gym shutdown, I pulled out Boz's favorite article on building a home gym to help prioritize my equipment purchases. I started CF Linchpin shortly after that as well. I'd be interested in seeing what the cost/workout is using that same analysis from CF Linchpin.

I really like Pat’s programming, hopefully he had some vision on games events for 2022.

[@JWSIUC]

It would be great if there were links to these articles for easy reference. Thanks

Definitely still the weirdo on my street. Running down the street with a medball or climbing my rope hanging from a tree in my yard. I get some looks.

[@katerinaha]

Me too!! My neighbors are always shaking their head at me.

[@browboots]

@@katerinaha maybe someday they'll join us haha. One neighbor asked my friend and I what we were training for. My friend responded "life"

[@beckjacob]

I get those "looks" too when I'm out running in my vest.

[@laurengraham5475]

Haha me running to the mailbox (conveniently 200m from my door for 400m repeats) with tape or gymnastics grips on my hands as I head into my garage gym for something gymnasty to pair with the mono-structural.

[@shelwhite3411]

Curious to see if Boz uses any of those tests in the games programming this year!

You’re the best! Thank you!

[@allieolsen3692]

THANK YOU!! I was hoping someone would do this so I didn’t have to rewatch the whole thing!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@GrantGilmour]

Boz will really test the athletes this year on gymnastics. My bet is presses to handstand

[@spencergsmith]

That would be awesome. I would love to see some pullovers on the bar or rolls to support on the rings.

[@Everydaydadfitness]

Dang I would have loved the links to the mentioned articles in the description.

[@btwbmedia]

I believe someone linked them in the comments

[@timgibbons890]

I love the early days of CrossFit! A client recently asked me, "Why do people hate CrossFit?' I couldn't think of an answer. She said that her doctor recently praised her during a checkup and asked what she had been doing. She answered that she had been doing CrossFit and the doctor told her that it was "too dangerous." After just seeing medical proof of increased fitness. Why would this doctor still think that it's too dangerous? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts? I'm baffled.

[@DrRichardNorris]

One of the articles that was part of the prep for the L3 exam was related, I think, to Boz's story of the police Department - Team Workouts CFJ Issue 14 October 2003 (library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/14_03_Team_Workouts.pdf). I'd love to do this with any team that wants to establish a GPP program.
