NOTE: There will be no class this Friday

Since starting CrossFit I have found a never-ending source of amusement in one of the leading strength and conditioning coaches in the country. His name is Mark Rippetoe and he has authored/co-authored a number of books, the most infamous I believe to be Starting Strength. To sum it up...he is good!

Anyways, he has a great sense of humor too that I feel like sharing with you from time to time instead of just enjoying it myself. Today I have a quote and a clip to go with it. If you read the quote it's funny enough, but listen to how Coach Rip speaks and then read it again. Even funnier! Today we are lucky enough that I found the clip where he actually says the quote. Nevertheless, you should read all of the future quotes as if he were saying them as well. Just makes them better.

Mark Rippetoe on calling "The Press", "The Shoulder Press":

"We just call it the press, because how could you press without the shoulders? You can leg press...but that's gay?"
