The workout and the need to be part of something far exceeds the risk of injury, the benefits of fitness, or learning new physical skills. It's the workout, the sickness, the soreness, and the ass kicking that counts.
Who thought up that name for an affiliate? I get that it's biting on the Affliction clothing brand but do you really want to name your gym that? It's like naming it Crossfit Disease or Crossfit Inoperable Brain Tumor.
"Hey, I just started this great new training program. I really think you'd love it. There's a free beginner class this Saturday. Why don't I pick you up and we'll both go down to Crossfit Nut Cancer together. You're gonna love it."
Crossfit Ass Cancer!
Move on dr. Freud, before some other guy corners the market on fitness training for dykes with ass cancer.
Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of the free man from the slave.
@Fit paid someone to go to Gym Jones and they wrote an article for the CFJ that was pro @Fit? Who saw that coming. Twight cares so fucking little about any of that silly bulls hit it amazes me that douchfitters still fight about it. mark Twight fets press, gets paid and is a beast in the mounains. I think if they really want to settle it have couch and twight do a 5k ruck run and then max ring dips for time followed by single rep deads and finish with a 1k row.
I was sent a copy of this last night. I didn't realize it had just come out. I guess this is the future: next, they will send someone to a Chek workshop, a Poloquin, a Staley and then one of mine.
After reading the PDF, I was actually more sad than anything else. Having someone go to a workshop and their ears only listen to the word "crossfit" is just sad to me. Mark's workshops, by the way, are fabulous and the guy came away from a three day workshop and seemed to have not listened to anything.
So I haven't finished the article yet, but I love that the author found this philosophy somehow illogical, and also came up with an awesome unpronouncable acronym:
The Gym Jones training manual defines fitness as “the
ability to do a task.” That’s it. And it’s pretty simple when
compared to “increased work capacity across a broad
range of time and modal domains” (IWCABTMD).
At Gym Jones, athletes engage in what Twight calls
“outcome-based training.” He explained that Gym Jones
athletes don’t train to win in the gym. They train to win
races, fights, combat or any other individualized task
they might dedicate themselves to.
You have no chance to survive make your time.
Ha Ha Ha Ha ....
How long ago did BJ Penn stop crossfitting? Everyone always talks about how BJ Penn does/did CrossFit, but the knock on him has always been that he is a guy with incredible talent with poor conditioning. Every time he loses, he seems to blame his conditioning. I saw for his fight against Florian he hired Todd Marinovich's dad to train him - I don't know if anyone else saw that, but with the exception of the running, it looked like some pretty non-functional stuff.

Still waiting on the double-blind study comparing @F to any/all other fitness regimens...
You know how that will go down. Athletes training for actual events will be put through @f workouts and perform under par for the @f "elite". Thus proving that @f produces better athletes.
What you won't see is @f lining up their "elites" to go toe to toe with the people who train for events, even if those events are in the @f realm of intelectual theft like the C.R.A.S.H-B's or an oly meet.
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

I need an East Coast guy to take the place of someone who can't make the Fairfax Virginia October 24-25. It is another Level 1.
I'd like to meet a person who paid money to attend a @f jumprope cert. It would take wrecking ball sized testicles to admit you forked over $500 bucks, or whatever they were charging for one of the sattelite certs then, to learn how to jump rope.

Snort. I'd attend just for the hilarity factor, but no way would I pay a thousand bucks. I mean, I paid for the RKC, but that actually had good info and I met people who weren't douchebags.
The flesh is weak, and the smell of pussy is strong like a muthafucka.

I didn't see any chain wallets...true dat. But the rest were all accounted for I think. And the team leaders alone accounted for a high percentage of douchbaggery.
The Gym Jones piece was definitely done with the specific purpose of cutting down Twight. It's interesting Glassman and his dipshit cronies would pony up $1800 for the singular purpose of badmouthing Twight.
Someone brings up a topic that the @fitters have nothing to respond with, and it gets locked."
What is interesting is that I probably have as much experience as anyone with PE classes using Xfit, but I am banned. There are so many issues that need to be addressed to use the program in a school setting. The injury rate was staggering.
Why do they have a reputation for foul language when presenting @Fit to live audiences, while at the same time foul language and being-a-meanie are prohibited on their message boards?

Oh how cooch must wish guys training actual elite athletes would just shut their pie holes.
"I can't tell you how many times I've had athletes say, 'You didn't even make me puke' after a workout. My response is usually, 'I didn't make you puke because I didn't want to make you puke. Making you puke would be easy. Getting you stronger, faster, and more flexible actually takes some work.'
Puking is one of the most catabolic things you can do to your body. If your goals are increased muscular strength and/or muscular hypertrophy, you should do everything possible not to puke during your training!" - Joe DeFranco
In other words pukie must be how douchefit guys retain their striking physiques!
