Brendan Gilliam was personally trained by Coach Greg Glassman. Brendan was part of the Santa Cruz crew back in the day.
He drove across the USA to come train my wife and I and moved to VAB. He's one of the most passionate crossfitters I know.
Please join his FB page and spread the word.
If you want to train with him email at [email protected]
Thanks everyone
Tony

Because he is a faggot at heart as well obviously. Just because he is more physically adept than the other choads doesn't make him exempt from being categorized under 'FAGZ.'Confused wrote:I still haven't figured out why Josh Everett hasn't done this yet.Quack Attack wrote:ab g-d wrote: I can't wait until some real elite athlete comes in, wins the Gaymes, and in the post-interview says..."Shit no I don't do @F training! @F training sucks donkey balls.

Josh is soon, if not already, going to be teaching @F in various forms (including already helping at certs for HQ) full-time.

Re: The couch thread
Imagine that. @fit HQ soaked "trainers" for cert money, knowing full well that it meant nothing. Apparently, these "trainers" couldn't bother to study for a cert that meant nothing, but cost them $1000.
WTF Renee Lee knows about ANYTHING not on 4chan, involving lesbian porn or 16th Century Latin poets is beyond me.Renee Fat Cunt Lee wrote:I've also heard from some L2 instructors that the new prep course came to be because a lot of people come to their L2 completely unprepared.
Day 1 of the L2 is a dry run of the testing process on day 2. You take the feedback and tweak before your test. If you're completely unprepared, you can't completely change your coaching skills in less than 24 hours, but since you've already paid for the cert, so you go through it, essentially knowing that you're going to fail.

From the comments:Elite athletes in real sports using "constantly varied" training? Show them to me. Next thing you know, @Fers will be saying 5/3/1 is "constantly varied" because you increase the weights each month and the final AMRAP set might be a different rep number each time.6. Rog wrote...

Molly Tuman - another darn near elite athlete BEFORE finding cf, that comes in and dominates cf'ers.
"Our workouts are competitive events. The strength and value of crossfit lies entirely in our dominance of other athletes. This is a truth divined through competition, not debate."
Looks to me like "other athletes" are kicking major butt.

And yet those athletes come to our arena and enjoy the competition. Truth is, those people that you claim are not crossfitters are doing constantly varied, high intesity training already. Just because they don't call it crossfit doesn't mean they don't train with similar methods.

How is this in any way a refutation of Crossfit? In most sports genetically gifted athletes rise to the top. Molly is a trainer at an Affiliate and has several CF certifications so it's not like she came in off the street and won. As the sport gets bigger I'm sure we'll see plenty more people who were world class in other sports spend 6-12 months WOD'ing and do very well. What do you expect to happen when gifted athletes meet a superior stimulus?
Real sport elite athletes don't call their training "@F" because @F (defined as the mainpage WOD and nothing else, as it always should be) sucks ass and they wouldn't do it. Elite athletes have plans. Elite athletes compete on certain days, never EVERY DAY. Elite athletes come in to @F and kick full-time @Fers' asses because they are coordinated, strong, and explosive from their REAL SPORT training. They also know how to prep and taper.
I can't wait until some real elite athlete comes in, wins the Gaymes, and in the post-interview says..."Shit no I don't do @F training! @F training sucks donkey balls. Don't you ever say I do @F."
Jesse,
You have it all wrong - not shocked though, lots of you kool-aiders think the same way.
The MAIN thing all of these great athletes have done prior to finding cf, the thing that made them strong enough to dominate 'homegrown' cf'ers in competition not debate?
One word - PERIODIZATION. It's what cf lacks and what the rest of the sporting world uses to its perfect advantage.

That Barky must suck a mean dick. They get a gym, equipment, etc. from teh couch for free. They don't have a website, they're not linked on the mainpage and they are using a name "Crossfit Obsession" that is owned by someone else?
The facebook site (Real Crossfit Obsession) has Barky's blogspot as the official website for the gym, but her blog says that "Crossfit Obsession is no more."
WTF

Your points are excellent (and I for one can't wait to see what happens when the VA registered owner of Obsession steps up), but I've never understood the expression "sucks a mean dick." What, does it have poisonous spines on it? Does it squirt battery acid?

Re: The couch thread
They certainly and blindly faithful to the "cause"
Hmmm, a talented 14 year old "athlete" who likes to work out. Wonder where she'll be in 4 or 5 years? My guess is playing college sports and not wasting time with the WOD.A 14 year-old girl won the intermediate division of the OC throwdown back in January and honestly wasted everyone else competing in that division. I'm sure it'll be four or five years before she has any honest shot at competing in the open rxd divisions, but it'll be interesting to see how she does starting that young and actually being competitive from a young age.

My favorites from the Alabama "Men's" sucktional, in no particular order:
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Game ... _ALMen.mov
Virtuosity in motion (give him a break - 275 is heavy for an @fitter)...

Looks like those welds have about 19% slop in them...

I call this one "The Passion of the Douche"

Time for a cleansing, courtesy of the andro babes from the Carolina sucktionals:
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Game ... andbag.mov
I love it when they open their hips...

Shots from the crotch-cam. Is this what Wendler means by moving north of vag?

She can hold my bag anytime...
