OK holy crap

I just read the 118 posts on Rifs blog about GS vs HS. Amazing. I really like HS and I really like GS. Too bad the 'twain the two shall not meet. Although I will say that the AKC sounds a lot like Jehovah's Witnesses, we're right and that's it. I've even talked to people who do GS and are willing to give me straight answers without the almost religious rhetoric.


It boils down to this for me, I love all things girya related, period. I bet there are a shitload of people like me on both sides of the rift that feel the same way.........................

See what I mean(nt)!

G, I never thought anyone cared so much about how you move a big hunk of cast iron with handle on it. Kinda funny when you think about it. Infighting always seems so petty to outsiders.

Kinda makes me think of that great scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian; "Are you the Judean People's Front?"...

Welcome back. More Fat, good for you. Some just don't get it. (Healthy) FAT IS OK and helps you lose fat. Most (except the insane vegans) get the protein part.

It's the damn sugar, white flour and the evil HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP that are the real problem.

Jim, grains too. Grains freakin' kill me.

About KB's, I'll play devils advocate and say GS is superior ( although Tracy kinda kills that notion ) That doesn't mean we are wrong just different.

Take any other weight, say the DL, and GS "form" woil be the form that gets you injured, whereas HS would be your biomechanically strongest and safest "form".

I am totally looking at this from an outside perspective with a complete respect for GS too. I have a problem with the AKC not GS.

EECH, what a fucking dead horse...

I guess man! Damn, I knew this stuff was brewing but HOLY CRAP!!

Seriously though I e-mailed Tom Furhman about GS and chat with Christine on a regular basis. GS has come up often with me and Christine.

The really funny thing is If I went on IGX and posted my workouts but left out one small detail, that being I was using KBs, and pretended I was using dumbells, people would be all over it in a good way.

Anyhow it all sucks, I forgot about Gregor dissing HS on the forum. CI gave me some great advice on DD when she posted there, Paul Tuckers posts were cool, Scott Shelter uses combines GS and PL as does Christine Petty. Man it's all just fucking cool. Tom Furhmans "straight down the middle, no bullshit" approach to fitness is sweet.

Wish everyone got along better, but that's not the nature of humans, we spent 900,000 years dividing ourselves into tribes. That's not going to change in 5 or 6 years :-)

Sounds like a soap opera. Or like high school girls. And I don't even know what you all are talking about.

Lots of drama, my goodness.

I think all of you big strong men should argue about it naked and post the pics.

Just a suggestion.
