Rhabdo insurance? Are you fucking kidding me? So, by joining it, not only are you opening yourself to the risk of loosing money when some ignorant cunt with three months of exposure to CrossFit forms his own affiliate and gets someone hurt within a week, but you're even admitting that your such a poor trainer that you're likely to give your clients rhabdo. Am I understanding this right?

Re: The couch thread
Why insurance against Rhabdo? Getting it is a badge of honor at @fit.

They'd be better off offering insurance against STDs. Then again, their rates would be through the roof.

Only in @F will one build their "deceit" nodal mode (cross-trained with "arrogance" of coarse) to the point where they can claim dominance (Football, Endurance) without ever having produced one top athlete.Tim wrote:This Crossfit Endurance Interview http://www.gotrimax.com/TriMaxBmac.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ruffled some feathers pretty quickly...

Shit, I had friends in college that beat BMac's IM time by an HOUR+ in their FIRST IM.
Specialists see right through them. That's good.

This is fucking so retarded.Crossfitter: "Those running shoes are not helping develop her immature squat"
99.9% of the pictures of @Fers have them using some big ass gay running faggot shoe to squat in. It's a damn good think sub hundo squats are a common thing for both male and female @Fs.

If there are new movements, I bet it is nearly guaranteed that multiple folks are going down with rhabdo there. Fingers crossed that part makes it to their next movie!!!

Is our favorite manfucker and manrammery expert Josh going to supply them?
I heard couch is going to have even more porn starlets walking around, and he's going to do a cert specifically for them, with only himself providing expert, hands on coaching

Read that earlier. I will forward it to a couple affiliate friends I know though for the sake of fun.

Re: The couch thread
Clearly this will develop a great @Fit Football player:

Also, regarding my earlier assessment that this program may revolutionize Powderpuff football...Do as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes. Take a 1 minute rest. Complete 5 times.
3 Power Cleans 155 lbs
6 Push Ups

Re: The couch thread
If @F sucks for sports specialists, it still is the shizzle for military folk, right?
Obviously not by the PFT scores...from the second page of the Slowtwitch CFE thread posted above...

Crossfit has been pushed on my unit (1st Recon Battalion) very heavily in the past 2 years.
I think it is garbage.
PFT scores have dropped significantly, primarily on the run.
Also ruck running ability has dropped among the cross fit crowd, again due to the lack of getting out and doing long duration cardio.
In 06 before it really took hold there were probably 6-7 guys per 20 man platoon who ran under 18 minutes on the 3 mile, everyone was under 21:00 unless they had some kind of injury. I'd say more than 80% finished in under 20:00
Last time we ran a PFT only 2 people in the entire company ran under an 18 and scored a 300, myself (16:40) and a high 17 minute. Several people were in the 22-23 region. That would have been completely unacceptable in 2006...
The crossfit turds really think their method will help people in my occupations job performance. The numbers and events i see first had seem to prove the opposite.
If you do crossfit workouts as a side workout, just in addition to your normal training i think it can be good for some core and general strength maintanance.
20 minutes a day isnt going to help you carry a ruck for 3 hours over mountains. Nor will it help you in a 2-5 or 10 hour event.

Re: The couch thread
I LOLed at that.
I can see Crossfit Football slowly tanking. This SI article adequately explains why @FFB is a bad idea at the pro level.
The lack of speed development and systematic strength development is why it will tank at the HS and collegiate levels. It's just not gonna work.

Re: The couch thread
And the comments about rugby vs football by one of the @FFB stooges in the comments are simply ignorant. There is a massively significant difference in rugby requirements than football requirements. It is extremely rare in football to run into someone and go down, crawl out of the pile, and take another short pass and run into somone again, yet very common during any level of rugby play.
I do think that some @F might be a good fit for rugby, we actually talked about this extensively on the PMenu, and with the participation of some rugby enthusiasts from England and South Africa. That was a nice thread. James and I have lost touch, but his article on rugby for the Pmenu was good.
I occasionally pick up a rugby mag from England, and keep tabs on a few coaching sites, and I would be getting paid 45-50K pounds a year to be doing what I am doing right now as a volunteer coach for a high school girls squad.

Re: The couch thread
I like this statement. Dont know how true it is however...After all, they are paid professionals and they should know their body better than anyone. A player who is pleased with the program is more likely to not only attend the sessions himself but also tell all of the other players that they should fall in line. And the more guys there, the better, working together for team chemistry purposes.

Re: The couch thread
Though I agree it can be difficult to correlate a specific injury on a unique individual to a certain workout program, a trend of similar injuries or a boatload of injuries in general is problematic.

I would assume that the guy working so hard on the pull-ups will be the rhabdo victim tomorrow.
