Re: The couch thread
I'm assuming they counted the rep too - despite the knees on the floor and the nowhere-even-fucking-close lockout

Re: The couch thread
All high-level athletes (and "athletes") use PED's.
It's fine.
Even though @Fit is, well, @Fit, you still have to recover from doing it. And "recovering better" means taking the fucking drugs, no matter what your discipline, or sport, or passtime of choice is.
Everybody who trains/exercises seriously ought to take the drugs, intelligently. Especially as we age. In my opinion. Get a good doctor to help monitor your liver and kidney function, and Do The Drugs, if you want to be a serious competitor. If not, train, enjoy it, sleep well, eat well and drink plenty of Guinness.

I wish I had a silly idea to peddle to @fitters. I hope the guy cashes in.

You ever seen a cycling plumber who wrestles with small calves, forearms and neck? Didn't think so.

A couple of years spent spectating on people's CrossFit obsessions instead of doing something useful with my life has led me to believe that CrossFit has a lot to tell us about life in late western capitalism. People with physically demanding blue-collar jobs are not CrossFit's primary demographic, and the online subculture, at least as far as I can see, skews heavily toward post-industrial knowledge workers. Why would you pay $200 a month to throw weights around in a garage if you already do that as a day job? The exploding popularity of CrossFit and other "xtreme exercise" trends like Tough Mudder suggests a kind of atavistic revolution, where sit-down office workers can feel the thrill of an increased heart rate and a few soft tissue injuries without having to become a bricklayer.
