We have a certified Crossfit guy working as a coach at our school. Needless to say his teams form is horrid. Good luck with the FMS, we have been trying to implement such a system for years and, surprisingly, the administration has thrown roadblocks in our way. So it is OK to deadlift with a rounded spine but not ok to assess mobility and strength imbalances... All the best Hi Mr. Wood

Glad you enjoyed the rant. We have a certified Crossfit guy working as a coach at our school.

Needless to say his teams form is horrid.

Good luck with the FMS, we have been trying to implement such a system for years and, surprisingly, the administration has thrown roadblocks in our way. So it is OK to deadlift with a rounded spine but not ok to assess mobility and strength imbalances…

All the best

I am a fireman in fairfax County, Va and Crossfit is rampant. I used to see it at the gym and wonder why they were taking people that wouldn't get a 10 on a FMS doing cleans and split jerks, and overhead squats. I am slowly trying to implement a system of movement screens during our yearly physicals that comes with a protocol for movement rehab. Good luck right....100 years of tradition unimpeded by progress. Anyhow, I couldn't agree with this "rant" any more. It sounded is if I had recorded myself talking about crossfit. Thank you for the read. Yours in strength, Greg Amen!

"The kid that actually showed up and did workouts for 9 months put on 13" on his SVJ. Never really measured with an approach but I would estimate 15-17". It was actually really impressive as we moved through the power/SPP phases and watched what he was able to do on the court. I really recommend this program." 13 inches is insane. That is going from a 25" to a 38" vert in less than a year! Alex It has had some excellent reviews.

Personally, practicing your start is probably the most important thing you can do. Get the technique down perfectly and your time will drop tremendously. So I guess it is 10 yard starts. Primetimes, bounding, and ankle stiffness drills help a lot as well. I like Barry's program. It is simple and fairly effective. It obviously lacks dynamic correspondence and the deadlift is hard to master with perfect position and proper hip extension. So I would recommend an RDL in stead, while working on core strength and mobility to get into and perform a proper deadlift. Include some primetimes in the warm up, and then alternate a block of Barrys program with a power/speed block with starts, primetimes, bounds, etc...
