This is two ways of training which people are having success with. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. From the start of CFE the guys have known its not for everyone. Fact is most people don't like change, because change requires work. As with any new approach to something there will be an adaptation phase before you see all of the potential results. Its another way of achieving success. The system you follow is a personal decision to be made.
The issue as I see it is this:
If you awknowledge that the program isn't for everyone, and that specificity is needed for an elite level, then on what planet does "Brian" think he can talk about Chris McCormack? That's what we have our panties in a bunch over.
Ok, so maybe Chris can't "squat 450" pounds, but can any of the CFE guys drop a 2:40 Ironman marathon run?
CFE is specificity itself...in being a jack of all trades and master of none.
