CrossFit Guide to a Hotter Sex Life

CrossFit's endless squats get you ready to bounce up and down all night.
If you haven't heard about CrossFit, what treadmill have you been hiding under? It's the fitness craze that has members slamming heavy balls against the floor, scaling ropes, lifting, sprinting, squatting, pressing, pushing, and thrusting, sometimes crying, and then coming back, begging for more. (Is anyone else turned on right now?) It's maybe the only popular sport that has the audacity to say that marathon runners aren't fit because they train only "in one dimension." Check out reruns of this summer's CrossFit Games if you need to witness the torture firsthand. Or just walk into any one of South Florida's 50 CrossFit gyms.
Why would anybody inflict such pain on oneself? They say it's about true overall fitness, cardiovascular health, yadda yadda, but all we hear is "sex." They say CrossFit exercises increase endurance? We hear "sex." They say you become good at quickly shifting from one position and motion to the next? We hear "sex-sex-sex." And they say CrossFit involves bars, swings, ropes, and pressing your face into the bare, black, rubbery floor. We scream, "OK, do me now!"

Face down, ass up. That's the way CrossFitters like to exercise.

Trainers Jared Prudoff-Smith and Sadie Wells at CrossFit Miami Beach know how to get it on.
Really, how can anyone be expected to make fun of this?

Pros: Who needs a sex swing when you can do toes to bar?
Cons: Slap tears and ACL injuries make doggy style uncomfortable

I wonder if Legend is as assrapingly expensive as Sorinex.
Legend Equipment looks fucking great (as does Sorinex's)
As an aside, they closed down the rhabdo thread on the Pmenu forums.

Re: The couch thread
The rack design is lifted right off Power-Lift's racks. I recently acquired a Power-Lift half rack and that fucker is stout.

Re: The couch thread
Bought it cheap off a buddy who bought it cheap
Pros:
Super heavy duty - this is way more solid than the rack I had built custom locally
Came with technique trays, dip bars, regular and parallel grip pull up, safety pins, J hooks, plate storage
Cons:
Tall - I put this into the gym where I train, it would only fit in my garage. 8.5' tall.
No band pegs
Compared to my home rack, it lacks the capability to do the hardcore isometric stuff that fucks your joints up while making you damn strong.

Re: The couch thread
Shaf, what kind of isometrics are you talking about? I haven't seen you write about isos before.

Re: The couch thread
Look up Ditillo's "Theory of Maximum Fatigue"
A quick blurb on this:
When dabbling with this, my bench jumped up super fast. However, my joints weren't ready for the increased strength and my shoulders and elbows started to ache all the time.
A quick blurb on this:
A modification that makes this less stressful on the joints is to not actively press into the upper pins, but to stop the bar just shy of doing so and hold it there. Another modification is to hover the bar right over the lower pins instead of beneath the upper pins. I found this last method to improve the bottom of the bench quickly.One basic method of training intensity in the power rack is the Theory of Maximum Fatigue. Basically, this method consists of breaking each movement into three parts and performing our sets and repetitions within each of these three parts, from one set of pins to the other. The Maximum Fatigue Theory comes into play at the last repetition of the set. What we would do here is to push against the top pin for an additional six to eight seconds with all our might. Then we would lower the bar back to the starting point and then we would try to perform an extra repetition with this weight. Using this theory, each movement could be broken down into three positions with three sets done as just described, for each of the three positions. Nine sets done this way is quite a workload!

Also, don't do that kind of work if you've got a headache. It triggered one of the few exertional headaches I've gotten and I thought I was having some kind of brain aneurysm for a minute.

Killing off Andrew Wilson's @F injury thread on the Pmenu seems to have put the nail in the coffin on participation there.

Re: The couch thread
www.blacksportsonline.com says.
I know my Caucasian brothers will appreciate this.
I met Erin Andrews once, she is very nice and sweet. Very good at her job as well, the opposite of Ines Sainz. She is doing some promotional work for CrossFit.
Here are the details.
Self Magazine is aware of CrossFit’s growing popularity so they did what many a self-improvement glossy has done before them: they enlisted a hot person to do the workout. This time, the hot person in question is ESPN’s Erin Andrews, who will now teach you the correct way to do weightless squats and butterfly sit-ups.
Had never heard of CrossFit before and probably never think about it again, but the pictures are nice to look at.

Re: The couch thread
Or my favorite Erin Andrews review ever!
So Erin Andrews is in the new issue of Self Magazine doing some sort of Kama Sutra photo shoot. Just struttin that ass all over the place. Seeing how many different spank bank poses she can give guys. Hey I ain’t mad at her. She knows sex sells and nobody is better at capilitizing on this than her. Not to mention the fact she has the best slut PR in the game. No sex tape like Kardashian. Instead she always has plausible deniability. She goes on DWTS where it’s acceptable to get fucked on stage. She does a Kama Sutra book and calls it Crossfit. She gets taped naked and says it was a peephole video. Just one brilliant slut move after another. Seriously I’m not sure anybody has played the sweet and innocent card while simultaneously shoving her cunt in people’s faces better than her. Play on playa….

Re: The couch thread
Everett wrote articles after the Black Box thing saying that being affiliated with @F hurt their business at times.
edit:
It could have been Wolf, but I could swear I read an incredibly uninteresting article by Everett in the Performance Menu on that shit show where he mentioned their affiliate sometimes hurt business.

I threw up a little reading this.
I threw up a little reading this.
Functional training is much like the solid food I am encouraged to consume as a servant
of God. I need solid food, or practical wisdom, to help me battle through daily
challenges. And, like the athlete whose training program is filled with functional
movements, this practical wisdom decreases my risk of spiritual injury exponentially

Re: The couch thread
Wilson apparently asked for it to be closed. Maybe he was just sick of dealing with it. IMO the proper thing would be just to stop posting in it and let it die.

Re: The couch thread
Wilson probably got tired of being the torchbearer. There's plenty there for the sharks anyway, and if no one cares to pursue it, why bother. It all gets old after a while. For fuck's sake, if @F is in Self Magazine, we all know it is way past jumping the shark.
Sit back and wait for the infomercial.

Re: The couch thread
Yea, let's face it and admit it, its pretty much over for @fit haters, it all just sounds like shit anymore from any of us, me included.
They are getting on yahoo.com, self magazine, ESPN, etc... for all of HQ's shenanigans and idiocy, they won and the haters have lost.
Now we can continue to hate and ridicule all we want but nobody listens except for us.
They are still idiots, douches and jokes to real training but that is what the public wants and what sells.
@fit is like Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper and they will never admit that.
For all the time wasted on this thread by all of us posting our hate, anger, laughter and disgust hundreds of boxes opened up, millions of dollars were made off certs and media exposure increased exponentially.
Yea, we didn't make a difference whatsoever, we are just people yelling in an empty room.
