...isn't that nearly the definition of being a professional athlete? :)

I bet most if not all professional athletes use periodization. At some point, the stimulus required to produce adaptations will overwhelm your recovery ability, and you need to start adding lower-intensity work.

This isn't actually a Crossfit move per se, it's a strongman move called a "Continental Clean" or "Axle Clean/Jerk". The form still isn't great, but I just wanted to point out this isn't a power clean and jerk.

Edit: I missed that someone else posted this below, but thought it deserved it's own easily seen distinction.

Have any favorites you care to share?

This article (http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-mi...) was popular on HN months back.

Looks like http://www.7-min.com/ has made a timer application for the workout routine.

http://7min.io/ is also really good for the 7 minute workout

I use the "7-minute workout" android app. There's a bug in it where you can't switch apps in the middle, but I consider this bug to be a feature! For whatever reason, the chromium plugin which was my backup, no longer works (I also liked it because it plays a nice arpeggio at the end, so that's a positively reinforcing primary stimulus).

If you're asking about the workout, I've begun modifying it - I now do the 7 minute workout with 5 lb dumbbells and 5lb ankle weights. I also often do some pull-ups before and after. I also do triangle push ups (or sometimes clap-push ups) instead of the push ups, I do side-to-side push ups (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqQcQrXoYrw) instead of push-up and rotate, and instead of side planks, I do static leg lift, at about 5 degrees elevation.

when I first started out I was doing 7 days a week, but cheating (which is fine, you do whatever to bootstrap) - now I'm doing 5 or 6 days a week, which I think is sufficient.

I'm a huge fan of this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7-min-fit/id655808630?mt=8

How is your c&j 290, but your powerclean 225? Squat clean for the c&j (judging by your front squat numbers)?

Whoops, my mistake, other way around. Squat clean for the c&j yes.

No worries, thanks for clarifying. Impressive numbers -- great post and thanks for sharing.

I actually didn't get that impression at all. Just assumed they copied the entire contents of the drives.

I suppose it could be read that way, but to my mind, the headline and the first paragraph imply that Russia have the actual documents.

Which is also why Palantir folks don't talk about what they do.

Of course there's a link.

Palantir basically allows for analysis across federated data sources. It's a data fusion platform along the lines of other C4ISR programs.

One of those federated sources is now SNA (Social Network Analysis) and/or other Internet sources.

One way for Facebook to share information the gov't requests is through this: https://www.facebook.com/safety/groups/law/guidelines/

This next part is speculation, but if you were servicing many of these requests, wouldn't you just create an API to help you out? You aren't getting paid (much? Note: "Cost Reimbursement" section in above link) to help them out.
