I work out at a pretty intense level. So much so that its pretty uncommon for me to not get sick. I performed on the national level for oly lifting in high school, national level in crew during college, and ran 1/2 marathons post college.
Vomiting is the body's physiological response to maximum exertion (usually max heart rate). It is caused by blood moving from the GI into your muscles. Of course this stops digestion which is when your stomach expels. Whenever I do I always immediately follow it up with rinsing my mouth out to minimize acid erosion.
Not that this is entirely scientific, or true empirical evidence, but IME if you break down a group working out into those that vomit and those that don't you'll see that those that do are generally stronger/faster/more stamina/more agile/everything "more" than the others. I've seen this throughout my entire workout life in oly lifting, crew, and running.
Just when you think all the good stuff has already been seen, along comes this douche.
I don't vomit when I workout. I'm pretty sure Jay, PL54, and Gin Master don't either. I'd gladly go toe to toe with this faggot in a grappling match and I'm sure the others I listed would demolish him in their respective sports as well.
No vomiting here, and I would destroy him at his own sport, as long as it isn't @fit or endurance bullshit...
I would pay good money to see that.
anybody who continually vomits, or thinks vomiting is key to progress, is a fucking moron and I would be pretty confident in saying that if his resume is correct that his coaches at those levels didn't condone that horseshit either.
I also am pretty confident saying that his performance in those sports would be a huge dropoff now from when he was competing. All in the name of "intensity" right?
Long story short: One of the Phys Ed PAC courses I took in college was Fundamentals of Wrestling. The final exam was practical: we squared off in weight classes and had to wrestle for part of our grade.
There were two heavyweights in the class, one who was actually on the team and a big burly P&B type dude who was big and strong but had no wrestling background.
They locked up for three rounds, and non-wrestler guy was game enough, and had plenty of strength so he actually held out pretty good against the wrestler. At the end of the third round the wrestler went and sat down with the rest of us and he was barely breathing heavy. Non wrestler dude crawled out of the room into the hall and spent ten minutes dry heaving into a garbage can.

In conclusion: puking =/ elite.
Great story, have a cookie
of course I am busting your balls but I was dying to use that one
I puke every few months because 1) I schedule an early Saturday judo conditioning class after a night heavy boozing or 2) I eat chili or tacos right before a sparring session and my bastard sparring partners punch and kick me in the stomach. Definitely not elite planning.
I almost threw up after doing the filthy fifty one time. I was competing against my husband and got a little carried away. I spent the next 20 minutes dry-heaving in the bathroom. It was awful. I didn't feel very elite.

That is because DRY HEAVING is not elite. Massive amounts of liquid/food, bile-soaked vomitus IS.

Did your husband ride the Roman Pony during this? Because I think you'd gain some elite points for that.

Charming.
But, no.

The shoe actually looks pretty good, and the $80 price tag is all right. Shaf, you were given a promotional pair for being an interweb god. How do you like em? What are they good/not good for?

See, that's why I come here. To learn new things......

Interestingly, that dude's clean at 1:09 was one of the best looking cleans I've ever seen in an @fit video.

Why is it difficult to hang the U.S. flag correctly? Seen this issue in more than one crossfit video.

One of my lifters has a new pair of Reebok Hybrid lifting shoes to test. They are for @fit people who want to transition from the Olympic lifts directly to box jumps or burpees and back again. She wore them and her review was "These fucking suck".
I'm pretty sure that's a troll, not a subtle one either.
