Did you know that in the old, old CrossFit workouts, they would sometimes say to squat to a certain height of a box?
"Scaling" used to be considered bullshit too.

10 “Windshield Wipers”
With a 10RM load perform a very slow deadlift with a thirty-second travel to lockout and a thirty second travel to ground. Rest. Repeat for total of 10 reps.
10 “Windshield Wipers”
Tuesday, July 22 shows Loyd doing a “Windshield Wiper”. Both left and right positions constitute a single rep. If you can’t do the Wipers, struggle with them anyways for ten minutes before and after the deadlifts.
For deadlift use alternate grip, hook grip, parallel grips, whatever, don’t let go. Don’t speed up.
Lets just pretend for the moment that Couch really did gimp himself on the rings...(not that it should excuse him from crossfitting, if he really believes in it like he says he does)...but, what sort of klutzy, drunken, irresponsible shit would one have to do to permanently maim oneself with gymnastics?
And we're supposed to take him as sincere when he preaches responsible approaches to fitness?
At best, he's an obsessive/compulsive who's flailing away at 500 MPH at "fitness" till he's in the hospital, or, when that passion is over, he takes up another pastime he can undertake with equal fervor, which in modern times is drinking.
This is why CF attracts the addictive types like Shari and Dirty. Coach is just like them. They started with the drug addiction and left it for exercise, while coach started with exercise and left it for booze. Same path, different points on the arc.
None of this bodes well for any of these types who are hellbent to undertake something, anything, they can consume themselves with. All it takes is the wrong twist of an ankle and they're back on the wrong side of the Betty Ford Clinic parking lot.

Gymnastics can be pretty dangerous.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Couch must have dreamed that this happened to him
He woke up before he realized that the real gymnast is still coaching and didn't turn into a fat fuck. If Couch had darker blinds, he may have finished the dream and stayed away from the bottle.
Holy shit, talk about retard logic.
I can already see a dozen @F gyms opening up earlier to blow up all those balloons needed for the day.

Now look. I've eaten a pice of pie.
When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.
Proximity sensor and a buzzer. Mark it up 1000% and sell it to the cult. This is the second crossfit product idea I have had in as many months. Glasshole has indeed struck a rich vein.

Not only that, but by certifying a squat depth they could more accurately measure the distance traveled and add that to the "research" he already has. This data would come in handy when cooch is drawing his drunken parabolas illustrating power output per given set/time thus finally proving with out a doubt that fitness is @f and @f is fitness regardless of the modal domain.

At least her classes are only $75 per month... Though, I guess she's also charging you out the ass in a more literal way than most affiliates do...
Badum-kish!
In all seriousness though, I hope that client gets well soon.
Fuck you, mock it all you want. But Couch has research that all those "exercise scientists" won't fucking touch. He knows all and sees all. There is SO much about the squat that "science" won't look at but he's black boxed it and you can trust in His judgement that he fucking knows what he's talking about. Fuck man, Couch INVENTED the fucking squat. Show Him some respect. Before Him nobody squatted. Ever. And that's a fact and you know it, ya jealous bastard. That's why He has a weekend long Exercise Science cert. Got a 4 year undergrad in ex sci? Fuck that. Masters? No way. PhD? Don't care. YOu know nothing. Nothing that 48 hours with no pre-req's can't fix! You'll be edumucated in the ways of Couch.
He knows all. He sees all. In all honesty though, other than "he was a gymnast (apparently. I've yet to see where, to what level, etc)", what the fuck does anybody know about Him? Even the bio in the ASEP program for him is extremely light in the bio section.
