I thought about the CrossFit connection as well, but Ross' stuff seems to actually be going somewhere and is periodized pretty specifically. IIRC, Alwyn Cosgrove did an extended analysis of CF WODs and found no rhyme or reason--basically, no obvious progression--other than comparing the named WODs from one iteration to the next. In fact, the CF order seemed largely random despite the site's claims of being on a three-day rotation of strength, power, and endurance (maybe S and P were switched). I haven't looked that closely at CF myself since the CFers I've been in contact with have a T-Nation type of mindset, only toward CF instead of hypertrophy. I'm not sure who said something like "you do CF to get good at doing CF but not much else," but it wouldn't surprise me. CF conditioning is intense, so that similarity is there, but I want something a tad more structured and predictable, even if the exact movements are not.
BTW, NEVER doing that ride again
