Married friends started the "powerlifting" track (which somehow still doesn't appear to be a set protocol and has a couple of days/week of metcons and shit) at a CF box run by someone the wife knew in high school. She's injury free so far but he tore his labrum inside of three months and is just now back after a few months of recovery.

They talked another friend (with a bad back from his time in the military) into joining, the couch thought it was a good idea to have this guy who hadn't lifted a weight in 10 years and a bad back do an AMRAP push press workout the first week.

So the fastest guy runs the the 800, they split up the rest of the work amongst the group. I only know this because I have some friends who absolutely love @Fit and have told me about this type of workout. I swear this is some serious 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon shit right here...we all know someone or someone once removed that is fully and completely dedicated to @Fit. I've got five in my circle of friends.
Nope. Individual workout.

Glassman supervised the workout today at CFHQ, and it was this fucking mess.
I like to think he has entrance music when he goes to HQ, probably Gin & Juice.

Gin is a hell of a drug.

I drink gin every day! I'm using it to get off the beer. I've been weening myself down, with it. I'm down to 3 oz. of gin, a day, now. Two shots.

That won't make me turn out like Glassman, will it?

Whatever. In an era where a woman just got popped by USADA for trenbolone failing a test for var is about as newsworthy as a parking ticket.

What in the actual fuck is this shit? I've got a 15yo daughter that could kick the ever living shit out of Castro in a street brawl.

That was gayer than eight guys blowing nine guys, at least from the 15 second increments I could stomach.

The mobility issues in the thruster are pathetic.

And the way he shot his feet out with stiff knees on the "burpees"...God damn.

He looks fucking awful.

HUGE LOL at the commentary starting around 14:50.

"Huge credit to Dave Castro. Don't know what his preparation was like"

"Yeah, if you aren't normally working out, if you aren't normally training, throwing yourself into a workout like this is painful, to say the least."
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
