Then Mexicans will have to save NASCAR. They never use baby seats. Actually it might be kind of interesting to see the pit crew ride around in the cars with the drivers.

Since we're not talking about anything especially new or interesting, and since the Open hasn't yet loosed a deluge of hilarity let's harken back to a few months ago:

This is still just as hilarious as it was the first time.

Watching that dude get folded up on the zercher is pure lulz. But as much as Castro is a douche among douches, you gotta give min credit. That is one stubborn fucker.

That was a hell of a set up that one guy had. I was waiting for it to be glued to the floor.

If I take longer than about three seconds setting up for a deadlift then I calm down, and inevitably miss the lift.

Agreed.

I have noticed as I get older I have become more tolerant of other people and their choices (and I'm not even old). Honestly this is more within the area of just can't give a shit as opposed to attempting to gain a deeper understanding and respect of other people. If two gays want to have consenting ass sex who am I to interfer? Hell, I would make a consious effort not to interfere. And if these two people want to get married, my marriage has weathered far rougher than two random gay guys being married so you aren't going to weaken my marriage a bit.

This attitude of mine has finally blead over to include crossfit. If someone wants to flop around on the pullup bar I really don't care. Sure I will chuckle to myself, but it's fair cause that same person will being thinking that guy is really strong (I'm not) but damn he is fat (I am). If someone wants to talk about how they can do my stuff nearly as well as well as I can but I can't do their stuff at all thats fine, you are welcome to join me as I squat, bench and dead. I have had the bar stripped down plenty of times so that I could move it and I don't have a problem doing it for you. I do warn you though, you will likely die of old age while waiting for me to show up at your pullup bar or 5k starting line.

And I'm over the whole crossfit causes injuries too. Maybe its guys as intelligent as Jeremy Frey who admit it is when you get hurt in powerlifting, not if. It's when you need surgery, not if. Squat 300 but want to squat 1000? That 1000 pounds is going to hurt as it sits on your back and you begin your descent, but not even a fraction of the pain endured to make it there. Not that I know from experiance, but when enough people say that and back it up with personal experiance I can't help but pay attention. If I want to attack crossfit for getting people hurt I better start jogging 30-45 minutes a day 3 times a week and hitting the machine circuit at the Y for 3 sets of 10 the other 2 days. Those guys never seem to get hurt. Stupid coaches hurt people and stupid people hurt themselves and sometimes shit just happens. I really don't care what banner they do it under. Exept the nazi banner, fuck those assholes.

Despite this attitude I will likely always be amused at Glassman and crew and their redonculous logic. They provide workouts that no one who is a competitive crossfitter follows. And by competitive I mean competitive, not just someone who pays a competition entrance fee. They can make claims that athletes don't benefit from exercise science, drug-free crossfit builds muscle better than drug-free bodybuilding and some other bullshit if they like. Its good for a laugh and 5 seconds later I am thinking of something of far more importance. Probably the big girls thread. Although I must pause and congradulate Mr Glassman as I see he has significantly lowered his body fat to the point where calling him a drunken, fat slob of a hukster is no longer a valid insult. Plus drunken slob of a hukster just doesn't have the same demeaning ring to it.

Rather than drag this rant, statement, essay, declaration of self or whatever it is called I would much rather finish and hit submit so I can grab another beer. In closing I would like to say I just don't give a shit. Again, cause I said that in the begining.

Too much exposition for someone who doesn't give a shit. Could've just said "I don't give shit" and left it at that. Or if you really don't give shit, why even bother to post at all?

And deny this forum my literary genius?

My hate fires and give a fuck are low.

I follow for the juicy drama. With hq taking a back seat to Bok we get minimal drama.

Crossfit is lukewarm milk now.

But there are some things on the horizon to bring back the lulz. "Trainer Bob" from Biggest Loser is getting his level I cert this weekend. He'll bring poorly done wods by really fat people to a national audience. And with Planet Fatness as a sponsor, maybe Bokfit will find a home in a globo franchise. I can imagine the lunk alarm going off every time a bokfitter throws down a bar.
And don't forget the gaymes are starting, that's always good for some yucks.

Bigger douchebags shall emerge and we shall mock them as well!

There was a xfit/reebok "the sport of exercise is here" commercial on during the MU/KU game on ESPN tonight

Kenny Powers, "I play a real sport... I'm not tryin' to be the best at exercisin'." - my opinion on @bok

Hopefully in the near future, crossfit will begin migrating into the Planet Fitness's, Virgin Active's etc... At which point those chains will begin stocking more kettlebells, expensive bumper plates, platforms etc...

I think the douchebags will have to come from the pool of affiliate trainers and their videos. The Bok will put a strangle hold on douchebaggery coming out of HQ if they have an ounce of brains.

This.

I infected a trainer at my local gym and I left for nearly 3 years. When I came back we had bumpers, big pull up bars, dynamax medballs, and kettlebells. By the time I returned the majority of @fitters had disappeared so I get all these toys to myself.

More family fun with the kids.........this has got to be shopped, right?

From tree branches to toddlers to Olympic bars with 10lbs bumpers, wtf is their obsession with overhead squats? Do they think they invented the movement or something? At least lift something heavy if you're going to bother taking a picture of it.
