Brendan Gilliam was personally trained by Coach Greg Glassman.

Kinda like being taught how to drive by Stevie Wonder

Our friend and dynamo crossfitter xxxx collapsed at the workout today. Thanks to the quick thinking and action of everyone in class this morning and the wonderful emergency responders in Geneseo, she survived. She is still in very serious condition, but made it through surgery to repair a torn aorta.

Death occurs immediately after traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta 75%–90% of the time since bleeding is so severe, and 80–85% of patients die before arriving at a hospital.

It's a scary thing. Hopefully the woman pulls through.

Extending life spans via constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity!

Since CrossFit is the only community to have an adequate definition of fitness, "work capacity across broad time and modal domains" We have legitimate claim to say that our sport is the test of the fittest athletes in the world.

Also every athlete who has come into CrossFit competition and done well with little CF experience was training with "constantly varied functional movement executed at high intensity." They may not have even known it, but by definition, they were basically doing CrossFit. Performing CrossFit does not simply mean aimlessly following the main site, or working on Fran, Elizabeth and Diane every other day.

All you CF ignorant douche bag haters need to either show up and compete, or bring some athletes who you coach and show us how great you are. The funny thing is that as much as some people want to hate, they spend their free time on CF websites, kinda ironic.

Um, no. Wrong on both accounts. First, only you dumb motherfuckers do shit that is "constantly varied." The rest of the world knows better and has for a long time. Second, you need to have a talk with Couch. He once wrote that if he didn't invent something, neither did Beethoven, since all the notes already existed as did the exercises that make up Cultfit. It is the precise combination of exercises and reps/sets that makes Cultfit something unique, perfect even, according to Glasshat. That is what allows him to attempt to trademark/patent/whatever his silly brand of fitness fatale. I mean, I guess you could be right, and EVERYTHING is Crossfit...in which case the "Crossfit" label becomes meaningless and, more significantly, FREE to everyone. That would really make the paying affiliates look stupid, eh? Paying for the right to use a label that is meaningless.
