The couch thread

[theoverman]

After Dave Tate gets disrespected and leaves (i assume he's still working with @ssfist), Glassman is gonna muse on the worthlessness of powerlifting and bring in Ronnie Coleman to teach quarter squats at the barbell certs.

Then he's gonna say Tate never mentioned how injury free Ronnie Coleman is, likely owing to his tiny ROM's, even though they got that on tape too.

And speak of the devil, Mlle. McReynolds is on the mainpage. Are they lurking here?

, note that all of Everett's OL seminars have disappeared...pretty easy to cross-reference. I wonder why?

That's a shame. Everett is a good couch and good guy who knows what he's doing. He'll be better off without this shit in his life. I can't believe that he's going to keep his gym affiliated with xfit HQ after what they've done to him on this. His CA WOD programming, IMO, actually makes some xfit silliness not that absurd.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

I agree. Everett's book and vid combo were very good. I've heard nothing but good things about his coaching and his programming, and he seems to be very serious about improving his coaching on a continual basis. Buddies of mine tell me he's a good cat as well.

If he keeps the affiliation, it just for the brand recognition. What he does is so far removed from the @fit.com crap that it's not even the same thing.

And people who seek out this kind of training are looking for "CrossFit Soandso". Not sure if Catalist has enough of a following to generate a large client base on its own. Unfortunately business sometimes gets in the way of principle.

I'm sure that he could drop the CrossFit name, retain nearly all, if not all, of his clients, and still continue to grow just based on referrals.

Coach, Robb, and everyone else -- in the interests of the health of this community, I am closing comments on this entry. It's an action I have never taken on the Affiliate Blog and one I hope to never take again. But this discussion has evolved into the equivalent of a bar fight now and so I'm asking everyone to take it outside or somewhere else. Discuss it all you want in another place or forum. There are two threads on the Affiliate Forum set up for just this purpose. That's one option. Robb's blog is another option. Perhaps CrossFit Journal comments are another option. But I ask that it not be here.

The Affiliate Blog says "Community" at the top because we are a community -- and this blog is the place where affiliates share best practices, we encourage each other, and sometimes we mourn. We need to get back to building this community, not participate in tearing it down because of disagreements. I love CrossFit and I love this community. Let's move on and figure out how we can do good things together. Thank you.

Typically, aren't both sides drunk in a bar fight? I'm not sure this qualifies then.

[theoverman]

I can't believe this is how they presume to run a fucking business. Spraying shit all over the internet. Unreal.

[Yes I Have Balls]

ya, those fuckin' barry posts were stellar. i dunno if one of you bitches actually rambled that shit out or just cutNpaste'd, but whatever, mad props nigga!

I've actually been taking the piss out of Barry for months. I'd like to think that it was my badgering that got him to take a two week break from insulting people on rest day threads. I've got lots of Barry's "quick thoughts" saved when I want to point out what a jack ass he is.

Thank baby spreadable Jesus on a Crucicracker that @fit has arrived to tell us the squat is an important lift.

What did people do before this totally valid movement?

[TerryB]

All their noodling and soul-searching over "nutrition" minutiae is akin to their similar noodling and navel-gazing over "form" and "olympic lifting." It gives them something to ponder and to discuss endlessly, rather than simply DOING. It's a bunch of housewives and wannabe tough guys trying to prove their eliteness by reciting the dictionary, with Couch nodding approvingly over their shoulders. Not a one of the bunch can put 200 overhead in ANY fashion.

Stop fucking noodling over "clinical data" and "micronutrients" and just eat, or don't eat, as your goals dictate. The rest is just .... fodder for a $1000 cert.

[theoverman]

The more diets and excercises that they accept, the more things they can claim to have invented. I thought that's what Asstro's video was about, but I guess Glasshole still can't drop the Paleo/Zone thing.

Only an assfister would claim to popularize a fucking back squat. That shits reprehensible.

I'd love to see John Brown tell Gregg Everett in person that he "deserves to be spanked."

My guess is that would be the last time he ate solid food.

John Brown looks a bit like a tall, dumpy weak bitch.

It's funny how all the XF faggots are jumping on Wolf and Everett, when they are simply defending themselves and making their side of the story known.

Everett has a legit legal case against Castro as per California law, and probably Texas law too, should he decide to pursue it.

Thank god he has that med ball to help gauge depth on those squats. Problem is, it's too high - those squats are not below parallel.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Wow. I don't know what was worse.

The hawrdcoar music blasting in the back ground or

The fact that 170# done in a half squat to a med ball is gay as fuck.

Overall, a complete and utter piece of shit as far as vids go.

G. Everett and R Wolf. We know you're out there lurking...You have brought this thread so much joy. Should either of you be travelling within a 100 miles radius of Seattle, PM a brother. Drinks are on me...even that paleo sorghum pisswater, 4 you robb.

I'm sure any IGx'er posting on this thread would do the same.

If he started zoning hard, he could get his "body weight" squats down to 155lbs or so. Then he be REAL STRONG!

This guy proves daily he is a fucking cunt. I am surprised he can actually take time to post anything as cleaning the couch's cum off his face must be a full time job.

And let us never forget where @F ripped off the idea of the 15reps x BW OHS from...Danny John, one of the first to get the "if you're not down with @F, then we talk shit about you while we keep ripping off your stuff" treatment.

In Bizarro World, this is DJ having "no squat", while couch is still a competing gymnast and qualified physical fitness expert.

It does seem like the goal of the 15 x BW OHS is yet another way of @Fers justifying their training while avoiding ACTUALLY COMPETING AT AN OL MEET.
