I highly suggest everyone take a few minutes out to read this interview with Mark Rippetoe over on T-Nation.

Not often these days do you find such a succinct, quality set of guidelines and advice from a well-recognised expert. Anyone not familiar with Coach Rip should immediately check out his facility Crossfit Wichita Falls and all of the instructional videos on the Crossfit media site.

Back to the article, I think we can relate to this from some of the SB sessions:

"For an actual, no shit, set of 20 squats, you're going to pick a weight that you previously thought was your 10-rep max. And you're going to do 10 reps with it. Then you're going to do the 11th rep, and you're gonna breathe a little bit. And finally, you're gonna finish the 19th rep, and Jesus is gonna be talking to you about this time."
Sweat Blood!!
