    Trigger point massage made it worse?

    You did your own trigger point cross massage, or you went somewhere to get it done? Either way, sometimes it has to get worse before it gets better. So am I describing your pain correctly? It is on the outside of your calf down into your ankle? That's likely your peroneal tendon. Pretty...

    best beginner huaraches?

    This is my horribly outdated huarache comparison post: http://www.maplegrovebarefootguy.com/2011/04/huarache-round-up-comparative-guide-to.html Having tried everything on the market, I would say the best huarache for beginners is either Branca, or one of the huaraches with toggles like...

    Primal Professional Dress Shoes

    Greg, they didn't meet their funding goal, so you actually can't get a pair right now. The owner of the company just emailed me yesterday to let me know that they'll be traveling around the country showing off the show and trying to get funding for their first production line. If they are...

    Weight lifting...?

    Abide, I am opening a Abide, I am opening a Crossfit gym. I believe in a lot of the underlying methods of Crossfit. I also think it needs some mods to make it effective in the long term. My plan would be to make those mods depending on the goals of my members.

    Weight lifting...?

    I agree with everything that I agree with everything that you said in bulletpoint form, except that I became an expert within 2 months (fast learner, bigger ego). I don't care to argue with you anymore as you're obviously a Koolaid drinking Cultfit member. I disagree that the ability to do a...

    MAF running question

    Going slow doesn't "tap" into Going slow doesn't "tap" into anything, nor does it stave off a bonk. You're still using both aerobic and anaerobic systems even when you go slow, just more of your aerobic. If you could "tap" into your aerobic system exclusively, we'd have people who could...

    Weight lifting...?

    World's Strongest Man champ World's Strongest Man champ Marius Puganowski was actually a pretty big endurance sports guy as well as a strongman/powerlifter. He had a rule called the "7/7" rule. It was that once you got up to a 700lb squat, it was difficult to also run a 7:00 min/mile. You...

    Jonny, the ATP system is the Jonny, the ATP system is the energy system that deals with a very high level of exertion for a very short period of time (we're talking around 10 seconds or less). So you exercise it by doing things like sprinting, or lifting very heavy weights for low reps (1 rep...
