Dynamax has always been pretty leary of CultFit.

But remember, they make med balls for acceleration training for athletes, not making idiots tired.

Finally got a chance to listen to the whole podcast on Stregth Coach.

What's interesting is that their take is the same as most educated takes on CF: the basics are there for a great, but the lack of screening/development of the movements and the gung-ho attitude is what kills it.

I've seen really good CF gyms where clients are taken very slowly from a deconditioned state and taught movements, then they practice the movements for a looong time, then the intensity is slowly added but only to the point that form holds.

I've also seen first hand CF gyms where a brand spanking new client would come in and get thrown straight into a group class. I'm sure you wouldn't be shocked to learn the injury rate coming out of this gym.

I also like their take on the CF mentality of turning the intensity up to 11 every fucking day.

A synopsis.

Boyle and Cook systematically deconstruct the stupid shit about Crossfit, especially with regards to this lawsuit with the guy in Virginia. Yeah, they don't go through much we didn't go through here already, but since they are industry experts and working strength coaches, it's nice to hear.

Cook explains about all the acute injuries Crossfit can cause, and also talks a bit about the long term orthopedic damage doing Crossfit, as written, can cause.

Do they cover this strange Crossfit injury side effect?

What a complete fucking idiot. This guy is too dumb to be a SEAL.

for the past month i have had sharp abdominal pain whe i eat. to the point where i feel as if im going to vommit. sometimes its so intense that i had to lay down in the fetal position on the couch for about 20 minutes. also i have had less in the way of bowel movements and lowered performance in workouts. i have been training for BUDs and my test scores have changed as shown below in less than a month. also my hair is falling out in patches.

Same idiot:

so i have had a downward spiral in performance in the gym and in life. i have been exhausted every morning when i wake up for work and some days even take a nap and then get close to nine hours at night. my appetiete has sky rockered and my overall personality is short and just over all tired. i did fran again the other day and got a 7:15 (PR 4:45), then couldnt even run a mile. im in a position where i am possibly going to BUDs in a few months and at this rate it will not be a good showing. any advice is open. thanks

How is CF different from the bullshit that goes on on the DD forum?

I bet that's a kindy type of stupid at BUD/S.

What I find weird about his post is the fact that his appetite is so high for being so overtrained. My appetite goes to complete shit when I hit it too hard.

He's sick, not overtrained. That's my amateur medical opinion.

Source of the next @ssfit lawsuit?

"Local Coach" must be behind the camera or at the bank depositing the daily gym fees.

***warning***
You may see videos of some uncoached bad form and people pushing it beyond where they should be.

Listening to the pod cast reminded me of these guys.

What better way to coach people through complex movements than to get a big group together at the same time doing them, then get behind a camera?

It's this cheerleading vs. coaching that's going to get the next major lawsuit filed.

This just in:
Fitness experts back what IGx'ers have said for years. Film at 11.

Edit: Mistaken identity of handstand girls. Let's get ANYC to do that.

Inquiring minds and all that.

If they have ugly man faces, they're hidden by their arms (which is another reason why that pic is okay.) Thus it's hard to tell if it's the usual @fit girls.

[Shapecharge]

I can't believe I'm reading this stuff but I can't help myself. Take a look at Shari's blog. That dude really split on her for that ANYC chick. I don't even know these people and I'm reading this shit. WTF is wrong with me.

Wow. I can't imagine going that public with something like that.

As I write he's traveling across the US with that Allison NYC. But I can smile, because I know what she is to him....he told me.

MrrrrrrrOWWWWW!

A certain insider (well, sort of, he did some seminars with @fit) once told me of the rampant sexing and cross-sexing with each other at these "certs." Sort of became the whole reason to go there. Seriously, would you pay a grand to listen to theories on how to make someone exhausted to the point of puking, or would you pay a grand for a shot at bagging ANYC or any other @fit celebchick? Maybe a Fran-fuck for time?
If you thought you could bed down a hanger on?

Explains why all the @fitters at the certs look like they're at a "fit singles" mixer rather than getting ready to lift some serious weight. . .oh, right, @fit. No serious weight lifted.
