They're cleaning, benching, and overhead squatting more than you?

1) On each exercise they lift exactly 200lbs more than the average male @fitter who posts results to comments on the mainpage every day.

2) 6:19 and not even one hardbodied andro broad. Thanks for completely wasting my time, Quack.

Those are some ugly ass chicks....I think Xfit has taken the andro too far.

I didn't see a single baby strapped to anybody.

Strong guys.

20% slop kills you around 100% of 1RM

That's the other disappointment.

That was the most succinct way of putting it that I can imagine.

For fuck's sake, Khalipa is one of their main instructors. Hasn't he had the time to learn how to do a clean and bench properly yet?

Not knowing the difference between a muscle clean and a power clean is just humorous.

Another example of changing the goalposts to avoid meaningful comparisons to other athletes.

Hell, I'd take those lifts any day. I'd be happy to jerk 350, much less OHS it.

They are strong dudes... as long as it isn't a trainwreck, who cares.

They're probably really upset that we don't approve of their lifts.

When people seem shocked at the sight of you training in public you're better off if they think you look a tool rather than a threat.

Another Crossfitter who thinks gas mask training simulates high altitude training yet has no clue how the actual physics of that works...

I've been running with a vest lately to prepare for a race where I'm actually going to have to run with weight. (Guarantee that guy isn't.) When I do I make sure I'm just running and not folding up packages and stuffing them into mailboxes while wearing a gas mask. What a moron.

Not quite a genius move

Training is more bizarre now and more fascinating than Peary and Mabel Rader could have ever imagined. Instead of waiting every 2 months or so to find out what nonsense was going on within the cult, we get updates instantly anytime some douchebaggery occurs in the name of strength and fitness.

Agreed. He should have just kept the weight on and saved money on the vest.

This makes me think that there is a silver lining to the new detainee provision in the Senate bill. Maybe the military can act on a few anonymous tips and detain @Fers who train in gas masks and bunker gear on busy street corners. I suspect the interrogations will quickly go downhill as an envelope arrives with cult leader Couch wearing an infidel shirt and deriding our military's PT methods.

Did this happen when he took off the vest?

Shapecharge · Post by **Shapecharge** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:45 pm

I realize the @fit hate is strong but, take away the gas mask bullshit and a whole bunch of us have worn weight related shit while running/walking. I've had a number of alamed looks while wearing an X-Vest which to a complete retard could resemble a vest loaded with sticks of dynamite.

Jay · Post by **Jay** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:22 pm

I still wear a weighted vest doing my "cardio".... but no gas mask.

some of you are just hunting for shit to pick on... jesus.

WildGorillaMan · Post by **WildGorillaMan** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:24 pm

I personally know three dudes who've all been stopped mid-run by the cops, who wanted to know why they were running around in what appears to be body armor.

You would be surprised. When you are surrounded my folks who tell you how great you are every minute it is shocking when somebody says something different.

Why do you think we have so many guests and lurkers?

We are a minor but annoying pea under their mattress.

WildGorillaMan · Post by **WildGorillaMan** » Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:21 pm

I'm sorry but three bros doing sloppy but strong gym lifts is not especially lulzworthy; that's like half of YouTube right there. And some young man in the UK was already apprehended for both running around in public in a weight vest AND being a swarthy middle-easterner to boot.

On top of that, there was a total lack of baby strapping going on. So not hardcore.

Gentlemen, we stand at a pivotal, maybe an historic point. The bar for @fit dumbassery has been set remarkably high. It's akin to the era before the four minute mile.

Where is the Roger Bannister of @fit to come out and make us re-evaluate what is really possible?

I guess all we can do is wait.
