Once again Rippetoe picks apart "interent experts" to little effect. Show me a man with a 200#press, 300#clean, 400#squat and 500#DL that can run-REALLY run- and I'll show you a sub 5 minute miler that can do all of the above...probably not. I understand his point about isolation 'core' movements, but what he fails to understand is that for many sports, those numbers are just NOT needed..and yes, they will slow you down if your athletic goal is a 3:59 mile. If you want a 5:30, fine you can have all of it but certain tasks require certain training. While core isolation may not be the best path, neither will 3 days a week of maximal weight training work wonders for someone whose ultimate goal is to whip around a track 12.5 times in 14 minutes. Snide undertones aside, I think this write up is just as misguided as the one he quotes and I wonder how much time a man can spend picking apart others work while really doing his own. Barbells are great, they've helped me a lot, but 5x5 of back squat/press/bench/deadlift won't take 5 seconds off of your quarter mile. Neither will core isolation whip-dee-doos for that matter. Balance. No 'expert' holds all of the keys, and there are many.
Love the passion, Dan. Good post.

Interesting article. While it may be or not be understandable that a strength coach will have a bias toward getting stronger while primarily working with barbell centric movements, I think his point is well taken when comparing differing methodologies to developing "core" strength. Multiple reps of bodyweight OHS, L sits and pull ups, > bodyweight snatches and clean and jerks, levers and planches on the floor and on the rings are in my myopic view and experience much more impressive feats of strength and hence athleticism, than balancing on a bosu ball while doing cable wood chops. While a gymnast, weightlifter, athlete, runner, grappler, etc.. can perform or learn in a relatively short time the physioball knee tuck, the same can not be said for some of the above mentioned skills and feats of strength.
Dan - good perspective on pointing out a more inclusive view.
15:27 - should have picked it up on the runs a little more. didn't get elbows all the way through on HPCs b/c of wrist.
26:59 RX
wanted to break 30. Felt pretty good the whole way.
I kept a steady pace and didn't gas.
Great work Dibo and alex!!!
