RossTraining.com Blog: "Complexity Does Not Equal Success
Some might argue that such comments are not worthy of attention, but if you overlook ignorance, you allow it to spread. One of the fundamental problems with the fitness industry today is the myth that more complexity equates to more success. This notion could not be further from the truth. Flashy exercises may attract more attention, but rarely will such movements provide the benefits of those exercises that have stood the test of time. It is much easier to criticize a Mongolian athlete who runs and performs pushups than it is to get off your ass and join them. Anyone with a keyboard can become a critic. There are no other prerequisites. Unfortunately, banging on the keyboard will not improve your ability to run steep mountains and perform hundreds of pushups in the cold."
RossTraining.com Blog: "I received a few emails from viewers who were surprised to see me working with what they described as basic exercises. For example, one reader was shocked that I still performed pushups and pull-ups. He was expecting to see more challenging variations. Another reader asked what could be done to intensify sledgehammer swings and hill runs. He continued by stating his assumption that I filmed these basic exercises to provide options for novice spectators. Unfortunately, his assumption is false. I am not of the opinion that once we progress beyond certain exercises that such movements no longer offer anything in return. When performed at a brisk pace or when combined with other movements, I still find traditional calisthenics to be challenging and effective from a strength-endurance standpoint. I certainly don’t limit myself to traditional pushups and pull-ups, but I am also not beyond them. Occasionally working with less intense movements has proved useful to me for many years. I am still able to work at a brisk pace and receive conditioning benefits while my body is given a break from heavier, more intense loading."
