Deadlifts in CrossFit: Controversial or Just Named Incorrectly?
To be the most efficient, we let the weight drop from as high as possible, as the higher the height that the weight drops from, the higher the bounce we get on the way up, meaning, we can get the lift halfway up so that we only have to lift half a rep each time.

The American Kettlebell Swing: Why You Should Never Do It
I think it’s a lot of bull to justify the American Swing with it being more natural to complete the movement, if that is the case, then why do deadlifts at all, why not complete it with a clean or snatch?

Kettlebell Low Intensity Interval Training
On the opposite you can do LIIT which stands for LOW Intensity Interval Training, which I personally think deserves to have the word TRAINING in it more than HIIT does, HIIT should be HIIW, and if you read my article “Are you working out or training?” then you know what I’m saying. Focus on the movement.

Deadlifts in CrossFit, WTF or YES YES!?
Any competition where the aim is to be as fast—getting in as many reps as possible—should really only involve explosive movements.
