The new Virtual Skogg format is really effective. Been taking my fitness up to the next level this last month
I'm paraphrasing Michael Skogg, but he explains his different workouts in a great way. Strength is about how much you can move. Power is how much you can lift FAST. And if you can Condition yourself to be 4 quarter player, a 3rd period player, or a 9th inning player, you're one of the elite
Everything kind of clicked together after he explained it like that

Yeah that's pure physics and physiology. I always try to mix in explosive lifts on certain things like presses and to a lesser degree on squats. Even someone who just wants to push as much weight as possible benefits from explosive strength during those exercises, for example getting a heavily loaded bar moving against gravity.
That's one reason I like wave loading.

Didn't know where to post this. Will probably start a skiing/snowboarding thread. Sierra Quitiquit gets my juices flowing! Click the link she is one one of the hottest freeskier's around both skills and looks. -
@finn Smith IOX goggles. Does not get any better.
@G couldn't agree more on the Patagonia.

I'm with Finn on the home workout program. I like doing most of my muscles in isolation from each other, to thoughtfully strengthen all areas evenly. Too many workouts focus on overall strength and contribute heavily to muscular imbalances IMHO.

Let's get this back again
I've been contemplating joining a crossfit gym. Anyone do this? Thoughts?

Crossfit is a great way to wear out your joints and injure yourself.

I've known too many people that love Crossfit and have had great results with it to say anything bad about it, except this:
"Crossfit is a lot like reverse Fight Club. Because the first rule of Crossfit is to never shut the fuck up about Crossfit."

-Mike MulloyMan, ain't that the truth. You gotta have tee shirts, tattoos, and bumper stickers too.

Your second point is the key to focus on.
Try working out at home, and do it every day. Learn some basic yoga routines, focus on breathing and proper form. Do exercises that focus on individual muscle groups with light weight or no weight. I've seen pistol squats break guys who could lift a ton with their legs. Do everything rep wise based off of what you can do on your weaker limb, and only do that much on your strong one. Focus on technique. Stretch. All the time. Stretch in the shower, stretch in the morning, stretch at night. Use a foam roller daily. Combine this with quarterly 2hr massages ( massage therapists need the first hour just to open your muscles up to work on them)
Combine this with something that you love, like cycling, trail running, basketball, football (soccer). Anything that gets you outside and being active and having fun.
Do this, and combine it with good food and your body will become a tool to do everything you could ever want to do, to your fullest ability
Edit: sorry for the rantish post. I just get a bit worked up, as good fitness is easy, and I believe everyone should have it. All you really need is 45 minutes of daily commitment(spread out over the day), good diet and doing things you love

Concept 2, by chance?
I have a love/hate relationship with my Model C.
