    • Matt dropped by the echo-chamber and we talked about the shift in attitudes about both weightlifting and CrossFit, as well as how the two modalities have transitioned from feuding sub-cultures to allies in fitness with CrossFit increasing the install-base and Weightlifting increasing the proficiency.

    • Some of the greatest sins committed in the gym.
    • Switching Modalities
    • Getting stronger in the face of age, injury and surgery
    • The shame of a 700lb squat
