Dan and Rach facts are at the end.
Whats up!
I have been teaching since around BC 25. I also teach BA and BP. Love them all, they are incredible and will forever make me despise the evil treadmill and the boring eliptical. I would love to get cert. in Step and Jam as well. Althoug the poor trainer would have thier hands full with me in Jam (think dying fish spazzing on the floor)
Anyway, as with most, these classes have changed my life. they are the bright spots of the week and made me look at fitness in a whole new light.
Proud to say that in our little area we have made our GF the tops in the area. We have an incredibly strong program, and its getting stronger.
Please contact me if you would like to donate to the Get Trevor to New Zealand fund.

Well, this again goes back to who's doing the exercise. I looked it up on crossfit.com and think it's definitely not for the faint-hearted. Someone with your level of fitness will probably benefit more from it than the casual weekend warrior. A word of caution- be mindful of your lower back when executing. The degree of lumbar extension that this exercise warrants places the spine in a precarious position, especially on the descent. Just make sure that your movement is controlled and that your core is braced during both phases (up and down). In the video it didn't look like they were exploding up and down, so I'd recommend you not doing that, either. Explosiveness is releated to power- if it's power in your glutes and hamstrings that you want, I'd recommend more functional exercises (i.e. plyos, power exercises like snatches and power cleans, and more traditional exercises like squats and lunges) :) -
From Jason on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 3:29 PM
It sounds like it was a strength-focused workout. When time gets involved, one tends to make the movements more explosive. Two basic types of conditioning for muscles- strength (absolute power) and endurance (dynamic power). Strength calls on the designated muscle to use as much force as can be generated to overcome heavy resistance once (think a 1RM bench press). Endurance usually refers to how long the recruited muscle can overcome resistance over time (push-ups until you flat out can't do anymore). Imagine if I challenged you to do as many push-ups as you possibly could in thirty seconds- chances are you'd be banging them out. Not saying that your form would be bad, but the faster the exercise, the less likely the movement is controlled with precision. Coming from a military background, I saw what a timed assessment would do to those guys- they want to max out their score and will therefore do whatever it takes to get there. In the case of the full sit-up, the hips can generate more power than the abdominals (especially in the position the body is in for the exercise to begin with). Therefore, if they're recruited, they help get the body up a lot faster...which also unfortunately puts more stress on the lower back. Always remember that a larger muscle is always waiting to take over. Another classic example is the biceps curl- the deltoid's a larger muscle and wants in on the action. Once the arm gets unlocked away from the side of the body and it starts to swing (due to fatigue and poor form), the deltoid's taken over the exercise and the biceps no longer get trained. -
From Jason on Monday, June 15, 2009 at 4:52 PM
No problem at all- these types of questions keep me on my toes :) The sit-up is a two phase exercise- the concentric (upward phase) and the eccentric (downward phase). The upward phase uses spinal flexion, which recruits the abdominals whereas the downward phase requires the spinal erectors (lower back muscles) to come back onto the floor. The problem arises when people either a.) use poor form whether from fatigue or lack of body awareness and "jerk" up and back down. This bucking puts lots of stress on the lower back. or b.) have excess body fat and weak core muscles so that one side (abdominals or lower back) is compromised during execution. Levers also come into play- the longer the lever from the axis (in this case, the upper body and the core), the more challenging the exercise. Another good example of this is the side raise- with a bent elbow, the lever is shorter and the exercise is easier. Extend the arm out and it become a longer lever and therefore more difficult. In the case of the sit up, the upper body is the plate, including the heavy melon sitting on top of the neck ;). Holding onto the back of the head and "pulling" may strain the muscle of the cervical spine, but don't really have much play with the lower back in this case. So again, if you're strong, fit, and have good kinesthetic awareness, full-range sit-ups aren't going to be a terrible exercise. Pilates has an exercise called "neck pulls," where you lie flat with your arms behind your head. Elbows are flared out and stay that way on the way up and the way down- no pulling the elbows in. It's slow, controlled, and effective :) -

Well, I think CrossFit and BODYPUMP are two separate entities. PUMP is an overall muscular conditioning program whereas CrossFit takes all of that and amps it up significantly. That being said, normal protocol would call for knee flexion (bending) to 90 degress for a back squat. This ensures that the target muscle group (quads if your stance is neutral, glutes if you're wide) is recruited without putting undue stress on core stabilizers (which can be a problem if they're weak). PUMP subscribes to this for a reason- it's the safest way to do it when you have a mixed population you're presenting to. It's also easier to get back up and stay with the beat if you're only coming down that far. Traditionally, however, squats were done the way they're instructed in CrossFit. Also, traditionally, we were a healthier population as a whole. With the onset of obesity, cases of people suffering from low-back pain shot through the roof (and become a caveat in the special population group). Because the deeper squat requires much more core stability and strength, the chance of injury is greater if the core is weak. I have no doubt in my mind that the deeper squat is more effective for you- you're clearly in great shape with a high level of conditioning. If I were training you, the deeper squats would be something I'd prescribe as part of your regimen. It's all about knowing who you're training and why you're doing what it is you do. The BODYPUMP squat is a great way to condition the lower body with minimal risk of injury. The CrossFit squat is a resource for athletes looking to develop focused lower-body strength and power (explosiveness). Does that make sense? :) -

Loved your Dan and Rach facts, they were hilarious. -
From Jason on Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 2:41 PM
Yeah, I have a few Congressmen who like it (shocker, right?). Others like the P90X. I say whatever works best for you. The Crossfit is some serious stuff, though. You ever think about getting certified as an instructor for that? It's really gaining momentum. -
From Jason on Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 2:22 PM
Hey- how'd you ever make out with your core exercise you asked me about? We did those damn corkscrews in ATTACK today. Those push-up tracks are nightmares :P -

Yeah I got blasted by my post too so I'm not posting anymore. I'm a very careful driver and always have been so for people to have taken beyond is just well, stupid. In fact since my son was killed in a motorcycle accident 8 months ago I'm also scared to drive anymore. Perhaps I've gotten too cautious as a driver.
