Chad either

1. Wants to close the deal with ABAT
or
2. Wants her to pay for the dose of penicillin

Jimmy Smith....anything Jimmy does is better than what he's preaching now.

OH NOES!

It looks like the traditional one-two marketing blitz.

Chad wants to take Rip's piece of the Crossfit Pie!!!!! And isn't afraid to use friends across the country to whore for his wares.

No conflict. Ripp takes the "beginners" and Chad gets the "intermediate/advanced" crowd. Problem solved.

Could those two be any more obvious with there fake sounding ass kissing. :vom:

Waterbury
Even when you don't agree with what a person or article states, you still manage to respect the opinions of others without resorting to personal attacks.

That's a great example to set. I wish other fitness forums would take note.
Jimmy Smith
but how could one incorporate the "Waterbury Method" with Crossfit???

What the fuck is this Waterbury method? Something involving a dick in the mouth I assume but how does it tie into fitness?

I don't know if I'm more amazed at the audacity of Smith and Dreamboat Waterbury or the fact that the @fit community totally ignored their mutual ass kissing. :-k

Here's another revelation: Waterbury and Smith show themselves to be bigger douches than most of the @fit community. On a sad note, I was sorry to see Robb Wolf playing @fit apologist once again. I really think he's being groomed as the "heir-apparent" to the throne of cooch. Exception being Robb has actually lifted something heavier than a 750 ml bottle in the past 5 years.

I suspect waterbury may be looking for a new refuge since the mma.tv spat. I vaguely recall seeing one of his recent t-mag articles get slated on there too, so he may be a wandering soul at present. Poor love.

I suspect I'd get along with Waterbury just fine in person, if he could get over me laughing at some of his material.

You get paid decently to do that shit over at T-mag.

What the fuck is up with all this x-fit huddle, cuddle, group hug shit?

Fucking t-nation article, followed by x-fitters massaging their own prostates in the "discussion" thread.

Rumors of Glasshole mending fences with his enemies list.

What the fuck? Is this holy shrine of x-fit hate the only place left?

The shame, the fucking shame. This nation has gone soft. Never forgive, never forget. Fuck that asshole Glasshole forver.

It's a moral obligation to point out the fallacies of Crossfit.

It's getting more difficult, since Glassman is allowing outside influence, like Rippetoe, to morph the program way from the metcon all the time and even from some of the relative strength and gymnastics stuff.

In a while, Crossfit will have rid itself of most of the objectionable ideas and stupid exercises (sumo deadlift high pull anyone?) and then what? This thread will have to revert to commentary on the individual crossfitters stupid things.

Obviously doing shorter harder weight based workouts and getting the diet under control works, but they need to make a CF bra that sits higher for the no body fat/boob job set.

You mean in theory you'd knock that shit out of the box, being married and all.

Don't get me wrong, me likely flat stomachs and tattoos, but that's one high flying boob job.

That was indeed a fine piece of writing! This is another useful bit of criticism of the @fit douchebaggery: ripped abs in the name of "functional" fitness. Isn't this what happened after Pavel's PTP? Shit, I admit I liked the idea of "skinny strong" because I wasn't very big and it was easy to hang in single digit bodyfat and get stronger...for a period of time. Thing is, you do that for long enough and you realize you really have to get bigger and be willing to see some glute striations disappear to get stronger.
