The couch thread

[JohnnyBadAss]

Wow...gay!



I bet that'll be a fun cruise, though likely an easy one to hook up on. I wonder if all the meals (and alcohol, of course) will be perfect Zone ratios.

[Anon]

Ever since I went paleo, it's been no Vegas and no cruises!

Besides, it ain't the getting there it's the being there so fuck cruises...

...unless of course you are an @ssfitter then it's more about the journey than the destination.

The sprot of fitness has neither goals nor goalies.

[GoDogGo!]

Jesus. Someone contact the CDC; I foresee a "cluster" of syph, clap, chlamydia, genital warts, herp, HIV...

[Sassenach]

I thought there was a hard, fast rule at WSB that said you had to be asked to train there. No drop ins; no "hey I want to be a badass PL'er."

I guess the @fit $$$$ speak louder than principles. Louie should come out of it with a few bucks, but his rep may take a hit or two.

You can visit, but you can't stay. You want to be on Louie's team, you get invited.

This is going to end ugly.

No doubt. I hope it ends in Tate publicly eviscerating @fit.

[CultBuster]

I think this is going to just slowly fade away. A's FB comments made it clear what he thinks of CF for men and I ahve been in the gym with a few westside guys to know that they think @fit is a fucking joke. There is no gain for Tae or Louie to do shit and couch isn't stupid enough....wait...astro and pudding will stay away out of fear of harm, if couch weighs in it's ugly but I'm betting it will wimper away like jump rope did and gymnastics will. Westside is fucking hard. Rips shit is hard, and lets face it met cons will never be as hard as having to add weight to the bar week after week when it is already so fucking heavy. THAT"S what the drugs are for, recovery. Too many pussies to do it

Especially if Shave is on that tub. After plowing Nichole and Kariannah he is spreading the crotch-rot for surz.

bump of classic:

Greg Glassman's was a good guy, except when it came to sharing his bottle of Safeway Gin and or a box of Little Debbies.

Back in the day when Greg and I were homeless, riding the rails of the USA, Greg would keep us hobos entertained with his story of Crossfit. Crossfit was going to be his opus magnum, the scam of a life time.

Back then all of us hobos would laugh at the idea of a gippy fat balding gin addict bilking yuppie and hipster trash out of hundred of dollars a month for work outs designed by a guy who's only workout was a huge painful bowel movement every week or so. Sorry to be graphic, but that's what a diet of packaged desert snacks and cheap gin will do to you.

I guess Glassman is having the last laugh.

I imagine there will be plenty of booty being plundered and searching for buried treasure, not to mention a few scurvy dogs getting blown ashore.

"@" marks the spot, me hearties.

This is even worse.

http://www.crossfitnewhampshire.com/200 ... etcon.html

''Max Effort Deadlift, Heavy Met.Con.'' (12.17.2009)
Deadlift 3-3-1-1-1

then

4 Rounds for time of:
6 x Deadlift (75% 1RM)
12 x Wallball (20lbs)
18 x GHD Sit-ups

So pull a max DL, then do a 24 DLs @ 75% max.

Works great if your DL 1RM is 300. Doing GHD situps after DL will many more add to the injury forum than the foolish DLs.

You guys fear greatness.

5/3/1 and Crossfit questions from Wendler
Wendler just presented the topic of combining Crossfit with his 5/3/1 program. I didn't get to see the presentation. But he did tell me to email him some questions and he will answer them.

So, if anyone has any specific questions they'd like answered, let me know and I'll shoot them over to him.

Don't know why Wendler would even have this as a topic for any seminar he puts on. I think this post sums it up nicely on the reasons:

http://stronglifts.com/forum/jim-wendle ... 03-15.html

A few other tidbits/trivia that I picked up on:

On crossfit:
-Stayed after with the gym owner, Sean, Wendler, and another Jim that was there. They all seem to loathe Crossfit, for different reasons.
Sean, who's very big on muscularskeletal correction and balance as well as strength and build (sort of in line with Cressey), can't stand the following Crossfit has gained from a business standpoint. "They (crossfit trainees) think", he said, "that because they hurt and see results that what they're doing is good". I argued that, at the very least, they're introducing some change into the fitness industry, where cardio fo the LSD kind is usually the norm, and no one's ever heard of a clean. "It's better than curves, right?"
"Actually," he said, "I think curves is doing a better job. It's getting people off the couch, it's introducing them to exercise, and they're not getting hurt". His big question was, just what the hell does crossfit carry over to? I thought it was a good one.

The "other Jim", who's a wrestling coach, said that someone he knew just got a bunch of people from crossfit to rehabilitate. They're all injured. They brought up the fact that you can't have a collegiate athlete in the same class as a 35 year old mom, doing 30 reps of cleans, which has been a criticism of Crossfit since the beginning.

Wendler agreed with all of this, but he had other reasons. When I asked him about Glassman (founder of Crossfit), he simply said "Douchebag". What used to be a fairly dedicated place, being started up by budding gym owners in shitty abandoned warehouses and whatnot, is now becoming more corporate. People are getting trainer certifications after 2 days seminars. And that shit costs like 2000 bucks.
Jim also talks to Rippetoe around once and month, and while he didn't go into details, he explained that Rippetoe basically told Glassman to fuck off. I kind of assumed something happened, because if you look on rip's website he's beginning his own barbell certification program, but I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. I was always kind of puzzled that Rip, who, at least with training, has very high moral and dedication standards about doing right by the trainees. Crossfit seems to be neglecting that worse than ever.
