The average box needs HQ like Jessica Simpson needs to sing.

When HQ is a smoking hole and even the sycophants desert them, people all over the country will be still be doing shitty oly lifting, and drinking beers afterwards. And smart people will figure out how to avoid injury through better programming and good business people will make money.

Life will go on. HQ will not.

Fun to watch when it happens.

And it will.

WGM,

You saved the whole thread. A direct hit on you, personal info put out.

I gave up on this stuff after my best contact left HQ (two years ago?). Just watching from the bleachers now, with a couple of hotdogs and a Coke.

I did try and find some of my old trolls to help with the fight back, but all those email accounts were cancelled for lack of activity.

Oh, and I do have Glasshole's old cell number, but it may not be good anymore.

Crossfit won. The rest of us lost.

You know what pisses me of the most about Crossfit? The fact that I didn’t think of it myself or at least get in on the ground floor of the cash cow. I was receptive to Crossfit at first and was already doing workouts that were referred to as cross training at the time. I just get bored doing the same thing over and over and switching things up keep is fresh.

Crossfit came along at the right time to cash in on a whole segment of the training world that had yet to be tapped into. I am of course talking about the douchebag. Legions of pencil necks and never has beens gravitated to Crossfit like flies on shit. This was their big chance to shine, to stand out from the crowd with irrelevant endeavors like the muscle up. Sure it’s a feat to accomplish but I bet you couldn’t find one guy in the NBA or NFL that could do one and they tend to be our societies best athletes. So big fucking deal that you can do a muscle up.

Of course the big deal about Crossfit is all the money to made. Rent a crappy warehouse and put in a few climbing ropes, a couple sets of ring and buy some 5, 10 and 15 pound bumper weights and you’re on your way to selling functional, elite fitness to a never ending supply of cunts and douchebags with what seems like a never ending supply of money.

Everything about the marketing of Crossfit is pure genius. It appeals to our manic get ahead at any cost society. It makes cunts feel even more self righteous that they are onto something that no one else is hip to. Nothing makes people feel better about themselves than looking down on others. Your average Crossfitter is a failed athlete in all the sports that count. You might get some accomplished badminton players or the Ivy League squash champion but you would be hard pressed to find any accomplished football, basketball and baseball players. This is as it should be since few people will ever play these sports at any advance level. Most don’t have the God given talent or the myopic focus it takes to become an elite athlete with a serious competitive pool. If a sport doesn’t draw from the lowest rungs of society’s economic ladder than the competition pool is weak because it is generally the poor that will put all their chips in one basket in order to make it in the big leagues and no the big leagues do not include professional lacrosse, skiing or some other such upper middle class white boy activity.

So Crossfit fits right on with this crowd of la-di-dahs and their polo, tennis and snowboarding. This is the reason you will never see Crossfit facilities in the hood or the trailer-hood for that matter. They might as well put a sign out front saying “Poor need not apply”. And you know what? That’s great. Who wants to deal with broke and stupid motherfuckers anyway? The hoi polloi will bleed you dry. Stockbrokers and trophy wives are where it’s at. Their money is right and once they get bored or hurt more assholes will be in line to take their place. The whole vanity angle, faux elitism and everyone pretending that fitness is a sport is a great hook for the well heeled crowd. I’m pissed that I didn’t cash in on it when the iron was hot. Why couldn’t I have kept my mouth shut? Couched like me and invited me to be his guest at some seminar of some such shit. I could have had the first affiliate in New England or at least Boston fleecing suckers for who knows how much.

Someone asked me why I don’t write much about Crossfit anymore. I don’t know. Hasn’t is gotten a bit cliché to poke fun at Crossfit? I mean if I look over at the Couch Thread at IGX and I am struck with revulsion at how so many of the same losers are still looking for any scrap of humor that might be left by poking fun at Crossfit douchebags. All the good stuff has been used up. Couch went off the grid. He’s too busy counting his money and getting fucked up to worry about making and ass out of himself on line. The sluts aren’t as good as they used to be either. It’s also rings sort of hollow when the likes of Quack and Shaf are making fun of people that actually do something with their lives other than post comments on a dozen of more forums every day. How ironic and pathetic. Meanwhile Crossfit has gone international and is making more money and attracting more followers than anyone ever expected. In the never ending game of on line one upmanship Crossfit has won. So what else is there to say?

Time to close this long time beaten to death topic.

So Pukie cowardly slinks off into internet oblivion. But for how long? Unless their corporate masters have tethered HQ with virtual electric collars, how long will the persona behind the sockpuppet be able to resist answering what is sure to be a flurry of insults and accusations? Can the egos be held in check, no matter how much cash is on the line? Look how butthurt they were when their premier event was referred to as the Reebok Games.
-or-
Do the grown ups take over this multi million dollar rising giant and shake us off like water off a ducks ass? Start programming for strength, health and fitness in a sane manner that is actually inclusive without the "eleetness"? Dare they rebuild bridges with their former castoffs to create a monolithic monster that could bury the current franchise gyms?

Nah. My money's on the reincarnation of Pukie and everybody going back to those little foot glove things.

Well, I've withdrawn from the field, as I said I would, but there are a lot of angry people and companies out there. Angry people and companies who collect screen caps like angry screencapping chipmunks preparing for winter. I'm not going to out him, but I have no control over anyone else, just to make that clear.
