The illustrations seem so simple and the Olympic weightlifting concepts presented seem so “basic”.
…but that is why they are effective!
Although I think this book is definitely best used in conjunction with Leo’s online coaching service, it can also be a very good introduction to Olympic Weightlifting for the solo lifter.
I’m actually somewhat upset that I’ve “slept” on this Guide for so long. Its a free resource that has more and better content than 95 percent of paid CrossFit/fitness resources I’ve come across before.
Is the CrossFit Level 1 Training Guide The most comprehensive CrossFit-related written work out there? One could certainly make that argument!
Hard Work DOES Pay Off…but is HWPO programming right for everyone?
Thankfully, I’m likely NOT HWPO training’s target demographic and I still made YUGE gains!
…maybe there is some method to the madness with HWPO’s “controlled intensity”!
I can speak from my own experience with the Knees Over Toes Guy, most specifically, the program found in Patrick’s Knee Ability Zero book.
I put in roughly 25 minutes per session, two days per week for roughly 9 months and my knees haven’t felt so good since when I was squatting since high school!
The Peter Attia book literally holds the secret to living a longer and “better” life while also pointing out the yuge, oftentimes self-imposed, roadblocks that stand in our way.
I’m willing to bet the house that anyone who reads the book and makes an earnest effort to implement even a couple of his suggested lifestyle “additions” will see their overall health and quality of life improve.
Selecting and wearing the right ruck will significantly affect your ability to make it through your ruck march or other event.
…but not as much as the right boots will.
When you ruck, you’re on your feet, traversing random and sometimes unfavorable terrain, for a long time. Wear the wrong footwear and falling out might be the least of your worries.
The ISSA CPT certification process involves detailed content…and a lot of easy quizzes and tests.
If you want to “become” a certified personal trainer and have a day’s worth of free time…well…the ISSA cert could be for you!
