The couch thread

[Gin Master]

I still read PMenu. There are still a lot of very strict Paleo/no-everything crew, so I avoid the NUTrition forum for the most part (though I like a little IF).

Who's gonna fess up for doing this?

pvc pipe weighs like 1 pound. its just for form

To assist any cultfitters that may be reading this thread: think of a barbell with the big wheels as..... 135 pieces of PVC pipe. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE!

So taker the little boy next store, who's had swollen adenoids for months with the parents considering everything from steroid sprays to surgery. Their dryer vents close to my driveway... based on my sensitivity to scents, they need to quit with the three sheets of Bounce.

Try sharing your Tampax with him.

Like it or not, Thud, it ain't that easy.

My 15 year old son has had chronic tonsilitis this winter. Despite everything I could do, from dietary changes, to more fruits and vegetables, to less wheat, to less milk, etc. The ENT said that he very rarely recommends kids get their tonsils and adenoids out anymore, but that the kid is a prime candidate for it, both from the standpoint of it being a source of chronic infection and inflammation and because they have hypertrophied and the potential for airway obstruction somewhere down the line is very high.

So, out they go. And I did a lot of looking around and reading up on the topic before giving the go ahead.

Re: New Sports you're playing this year -

I picked up ultimate frisbee this year, and I definitely underestimated the stamina requirements and competitiveness of the sport on the collegiate club level. Its great fun. This summer I'm working as a camp counselor and each tuesday we have a staff softball game. I'm banking on CrossFit to help me sock some Bonds-esque dingers (sans juice of course)!

In all seriously......Has anyone ever met an "Ultimate Player" that was not a totally worthless sack of human flesh? I'll allow that it's possible, but I've never seen it.

Honestly I have more respect for people who play frisbee golf. Somebody pipe up and disabuse me of this notion before I lump them in with crossfitters, young lifers and mormon missionaries.

I have only met those that support your claim.

Two things about this post amaze me:
1. Shafster has a 15 y-o son.
2. Getting tonsils and adnoids removed is a big deal (I understand that the older you get, the more serious it is). I had mine removed when I was 5; had drainage tubes in my ears when I was 6; suffered through near fatal asthma attacks when I was 10-15. Suddenly, when I got to be 16, everything righted itself and I survived. Don't know what it all means, but nothing bad happened to me or my brother because we had them removed. Shit, we got all the jello and ice cream we could eat for 3 days.

In retrospect, I blame nightshades, Knight Rider, One Night in Bangcock, Thank the Lord for the Nighttime, Nighthawk, night vision goggles, Nightswimming, nightcrawlers, the Night Stalker, The Dark Knight, and M. Night Shamalamadingdong.

You badmouth the Night Stalker one more time and I'll break my Interwebs foot off in your Interwebs ass. Kolchak was THE MAN; took on 17 deadly varieties of Richard Kiel and lived to tell the tale (via tape recorder, natch.)

Seriously, so the "nightshades" bullshit is back again? I read that crap about 20 years ago. I suggest to everyone that they stop eating carrots, since they're closely related to poison hemlock.

Hey, I hope it works out. The fear is that the weakness might just manifest somewhere else. You know, no more infected tonsils but before you know it he's got asthma, a urinary infection, or who knows what else.

Just curious, if it were his finger with the stubborn infection would you be as quick to have it removed?

Sometimes it's just not all that complicated. Three years ago I had really bad hay fever 9 months of the year. Shockingly [cough] quitting my cigar-a-day habit made it all go away. Now I don't need to carry nose tampons around with me anymore. Who'd a thunk?

He's slowly growing out of the asthma.

The issue with tonsils/adenoids, etc, is you can't get to them to isolate them for treatment like you could a finger.

I too had my adenoids out and tubes put in my ears.

Ironically, the fucking tubes caused more hearing damage than they helped with infections.

Another VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC (note: I have accomplished nothing by taking a day off of work today):

zone and floating stools

two questions:
1 if cooking with a bit of oil or butter, do you count that in your fat blocks?

2 its week three on the zone, and now my stools float every day. my protein comes from eggs, chicken breast (skinless), ground turkey meat, and plain soy yogurt. All my fat comes from either guac or almonds.

so has this happened to anyone else? should i be concerned?

Also:

I've been doing CrossFit for about a year. I was walking my dog today and saw a tree with several branches I felt I could kip on to get higher and higher. On around the 5th branch it started getting slippery and I eased myself down. I find myself finding random objects and doing some CrossFit related exercise on them. Box jumps onto things that are extremely high just to see if I can do it. Pull ups on branches that broken off twigs and realizing it too late. These are just a couple examples of random tests of agility. Prior to CrossFit I never remember attempting these adventorous/slightly reckless activities. Anyone have any stories about doing things like this? It doesn't have to include an injury but it might be amusing. Rock the Clock!

That ranks right up there with the classic HGRT thread about how many plastic grocery bags you can carry.

Aw. I thought that was going to be a mock version of the Moynihan Institute at first.

I enjoy talking about this stuff but this isn't the right thread for it.

Best wishes for your son.

Forum that keeps on giving:

Anybody heard of the "Turkish Get Up" exercise?

Basically you start lying on your back holding a dumbell in one hand over your head and then stand up. I am trying to find a video to see how it looks. I googled it and searched here but can not find a video.

[T200]

And this nigga must've heard about all the retards over at @Fit:

Want to invest in a CrossFit Facility?
I am in final stages of renting out a space that has 7,000 square feet, tall warehouse, and would like to be open to the option of having investors. If you or someone else would be interested please let me know. Rent per month is $3,000. Thanks so much.

P.S. I am CrossFit Level I Certified and also looking for someone to possibly manage the facility, relocation would need to occur.

I wish those fucks would test their agility with a Frogger-esque Cultfit challenge by kipping their sorry asses across I-95.

Blindfolds, PVC, and Tap-Out shirts optional.
