"After a lecture, a journalist asked me how she could be certain that my information was not just as biased as that of the cholesterol campaign. At first I did not know what to say. Afterwards I found the answer.
She could not be certain. Everyone must gain the truth in an active way. If you want to know something you must look at all the premises yourself, listen to all the arguments yourself, and then decide for yourself what seems to be the most likely answer. You may easily be led astray if you ask the authorities to do this work for you.
This is also the answer to those who wonder why even honest scientists are misled. And it is also the answer to those who after reading this book, ask the same question."

Today's WOD was challenging for me. I think my time was about 9 minutes. I was happy with my shoulder press progress, however (65 lbs max, I think).

Ashley, time was 9:30 and you should be very happy with your shoulder press. Not a max thou, it will be much more!! Making great progress and getting stronger every week. Awesome Work!!

Ashley, your overhead squats were awesome! Even though it was tough for you, your picture tells it all. Your time on this WOD was great too! Both you and Brigid inspire me to continue trying this one!
The overhead squats were very difficult for me, it seems I have no flexibility in my shoulders and back, so I could not get down low enough into the squat position. I will keep trying however.
