New Shari development...got a bestest friend in the whole wide world named Chris.

Hard to call this one.

It's hard to hate on ShariBabee's naive little neurotic self.

So I thought maybe the hard part was over after we made it past that point....but NO! Now we were going to ascend as if we were on a stair master for 4 hours.....at elevation......!! I had to laugh because I couldn't believe how people do it without CrossFit!

to her credit she won the short class at muscle beach figure comp.

Not my cup of tea but props to anybody who steps up onto any platform, stage, or competition.

Poor Chris. He threw a 40 yard pass into the friendzone.

You meet some loon like her, and can't even finagle a pity handjob?

agreed..whackadoo or no, Shari is not afraid to put her sweet little buns on the line. Of all the @fit dramaqueens I'd give her a pass.

As Fat Cat has pointed out, perhaps fairly, I'm a man of flexible moral character...and I still would.

[TerryB]

I would too, but there would be a lot of physical choking. The good kind.

Sean J. Hunter is possibly the most retarded person on that board. That thread is full of over thinking and fail.

I do really like that Justin Lascek though, since he isn't just some random koolaid drinking asshole.

1 Cup of pure strength program
+
1/2 Cup of properly programmed Short heavy MetCons
+
Stir in a bowl to get it just right
=
A Strength biased program that once one has reached intermediate levels will provide a greater return on investment then the MetCon Biased programs.

What a fucking homo.

This leads me to believe that strength is a primarily goal. If that is the case, then why not gain the strength in the shortest amount of time instead of prolonging it?

But, as always, this depends on what your goals are.

What if your goal is to be HARD TO KILL?? Then would metcons be done on Tuesday/Thursday, or Wednesday/Saturday with Powercleans on Tuesdays???? Cultfitters need to know!

[Fat Cat]

Which one is TitsNYC again?

Damn, that really is an amazing shot.

Truly epic.

Only thing that's missing is a ray of golden sunshine shooting through that gap in her thighs.

Dammit! I thought that Chris was the lesbian she was more-or-less hooking up with a while back, when she was on the rebound from DoucheBoi. It's too hard to keep with all the drama.

Do you think it's any coincidence that he is training at Wichita Falls in Rippetoe's gym?

I didn't even realize he was teamed up with Rippetoe. That makes a lot of sense.

I like this response:

Justin- Sorry for the hijack but why isn't Rip doing the CrossFit Barbell Certs after Dec 2009? Terrible news.

Lol she is heartbroken.

Hey Ryan,

I get ya in regards to deminishing returns and that a soldiers strength max is neccessarily low to accomidate the other modes he / she needs to be good at.

If you feel you've reached 90% of your practical max where are you at man, can you provide some stats in BW%. I'd be interested to know what a soldiers practical max is, I imagine it hits aorund Advanced + on the North Scale.

Rob has provided his idea of what our Practical Max should be, I'd be interested to hear where you're at.

Cheers

Sean

Wut? I always though I thought way too hard about things.

If this guy spent as much time working out as he did thinking up stupid bullshit he would probably be an Olympian.

[POD]

I wonder how many terrible failures those XF Endurance fuckers will have to experience to realize that their training program isn't up to snuff.

That depends. How long does it take to break an athlete down and build him up again?

[powerlifter54]

Our first priority is to assure you that there will be no disruption to the remaining Crossfit Basic Barbell Certifications that are currently scheduled. We then look forward to a continuing relationship with many of the excellent facilities we have previously visited, as well as the inclusion of new venues that are dedicated primarily to strength training. We are excited for this new way of offering our expertise and experience to the strength training community. And we hope to see you soon.

Just a matter of time. a few cf friends told me of this recently. Do not think it is Couch Dbaggery but just human nature of unwilling to play second fiddle for less money. Just like Mike, Martone, and the Steve's at DD

[Shafpocalypse Now]

This is the thing, POD me lad.

1. The endurance athletes are mostly coming in to XFE with their training mileage and base established.
2. Most endurance athletes are, by nature, complete fucking plodders, and do not know how to get on the stick.
3. The XFE training makes them stronger, and gets them to go faster.
4. The combination of those two things works remarkably well in the short run.
5. When the endurance adaptations fade, bye-bye performance.

Now, granted, I haven't bothered to look at the XFE wods, and don't really care to, but if they think they are going to do an olympic or ironman length triathalon and run no more than 4 miles at a pop, and bike no more than 12 miles, and swim no more than quarter miles, then they are going to muck it up.

Hey, JR, why is Martone playing 2cd fiddle again, then, with XF?

[Holland Oates]

Hey, JR, why is Martone playing 2cd fiddle again, then, with XF?

I don't know how long this will last. I had a friend attend a Martone cert this weekend at a Cultfit gym and Mr. Martone was not bashful in telling them that sacrificing form to decrease time was stupid, the kipping pull up was a waste of time, and that there is not enough strength training in Cultfit.

And he's playing 2nd fiddle to Cultfit the same reason as anyone else with any credibility. $$$$$$$

I'm sure there were some other tidbits but that is all that comes to mind right now in my sleep deprived state.

[Holland Oates]

Wait. What happened to Cultfitfootball?

I tried to look at the website and I get this.

No CrossFit Affiliate site was found...sorry.

But you look in the Google cache and it's there right up to 9-21. So is it a technical error or did Couch pull the plug on the young upstarts?

[Fat Cat]

This one is incredible too. Man's ruin captured in a single photograph.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

I had a dream last night that couch called me.

It was a videophone call, and he was wearing white toga and laurel leaves on his head like a Roman senator. We spoke of gin, and forgiveness, and about a fondness for large breasts.

It was beautiful.

[CultBuster]

Random douchery and tough talk. Too many of these pussies confuse what they do with real shit.

http://www.board.crossfit.com/showthrea ... 236&page=3

am deadlifting around 200 for work sets these days and still feel less inclined to offer advice to bigger guys who clearly need it. But admittedly, I lift at a powerlifting gym. I think that just means is more people are deadlifting there than at typical globo gyms...not that more people are DLing particularly WELL.

The only one that would need your advice is someone lifting LESS than 200lbs.

In the middle of a Fran. ON my way to a pr time. Some Beau Brummel who is there quite frequently, doing smith machine squats, has the nerve to grab my freaking bar while its overhead, and slowly lower it to my chest. I yell, yes, literally yell at him "What the @$^!# are you doing!?!"

He then looks at me, bewildered, and says "Listen kid, if you lower it slowly, you get a better workout." , has I jerk away and continue my workout he mumbles "Whatever, you are never going to get ripped that way."

WTF? NO ONE, interrupts my fran, NO ONE.And don't even get me started on that termagant that was critiquing my kipping pullups.

Just because i'm a kid doesn't mean I am foolish.

No but doing fran in a real gym makes you look foolish

Seriouslly, does this guy still have all his teeth?

Of course, unless you kicked him with your kipping. I like Twight on kipping "do it until you get strong enough to do real ones"
