So a bunch of ‘professionals’ got together and felt that CrossFit might be dangerous for military personal. They offered no evidence for this assertion, but stated that CrossFit flies in the face of their accepted notions of what is humanly possible.

*One point that they do make that is important is that ‘Warriors’ have a heard time scaling when they should because they want to keep up with their peers. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SCALE TO THEIR ABILITIES SO THAT THEY PROGRESS AND AVOID INJURIES. STICK YOUR PRIDE UP YOUR A$&, AND SCALE APPROPRIATELY.

And CrossFit Chief Scientist Dr. J.A. Glassman has his reply (using some evidence):

That guy in the blue suit is a freak.
We had a “go as heavy as you can” competition at my box in Berlin today. I got 115k squat, 65k strict press, 140k deadlift. I don’t know how many pounds is a k, seems quite suspicious that these folks don’t use pounds (un-american if you ask me). I’m doing ok, not as good as I would be if I were working out with you guys but I’m ok. I think about you folks a lot. I miss you all. I check the blog often & I love seeing you guys kicking butt.
Keep on keeping on.
