Could be worse, I guess. Pretty generic. Probably won't **** anyone up too badly.

Lots of the predictable ambiguities, contradictions and supersititions, i.e. explosive lifting for sports, "active recovery", "power" calculations, referenced frequency prescriptions.

I don't have a great deal of knowledge about this stuff, just looked like may be informative, oh well.

It's not BAD. Anatomy is anatomy anywhere. Many of the principles they mention are sound....it's just that some aren't. That, and there are more cohesive creeds floating around.

Anyone can make a website and fill it with a bunch o' fitness resources. The science is to make a rational, cohesive creed of it...not just let people pick through (and arbitrarily decide) what constitutes crap. Have a focus...have some boundaries...use reason and empiricism....minimize randomnesss....alienate morons. The opposite approach is the earmark of fitness bullshido.

The goal is not to find a consensus, but the truth.
