Wait until about the one minute mark...

what a maroon. Notice how he has bumpers on the "Rogue bar" just so you know it ain't your average barbell.

Jackass.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will do this stupid shit and still post it on YouTube. What the hell kind of attention whores have we become?

[Holland Oates]

LOL @ the look of amusement on the wife's face. You know she gave him a rash of shit.

I don't think anyone ever accused him of being an athlete before.

Now we know why fire trucks don't have trailer hitches.

I hope they dont let him climb the ladder.

[tough old man]

I did something similar, hopping over a concrete drainage ditch with all my gear on and the feet slipped off. Very painful.

but the fact you did it "with all your gear on" and were probably active military at the time, not just pretending to be an athlete, excuses you from ridicule.

[Sassenach]

Lol. Fucking fire whackers.

BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

The first guy's wife will probably take him home and beat his ass.
I like the way the second guy fell over like a piece of plywood.

I always believed the lifter was supposed to be in control of the weights and not the other way......

obviously your coach doesn't have their @fit level 1 certification or you would know what the hell you are talking about!

must suck when a 10yr old girl outlifts most of the adults posting on crotchfit's mainpage.

Truth.

Maybe one of you can refresh my memory as I think I read about it here, that the one dude who won the games a couple of years ago got blacklisted because he admitted to following a different WOD schedule as opposed to th rx'd schedule as per the crossfit site. I think he said he trained 2 days on/1 day off.

LI businesses sue gym for excessive noise from crashing and clanging weights

What a bunch of clean-and-jerks.
Muscle-bound meatheads at a Long Island gym grunt and drop weights so loudly that it’s killing business for two shop owners next door, according to a new lawsuit.
The barber and financial-services adviser claim they’ve asked the owners of CrossFit King of the Beach to quiet down or install soundproofing — but the gym managers told them they don’t give a squat.
A third man, who lives in a second-story apartment in the same Long Beach building as the gym, says he can’t get a minute’s peace without feeling the earth move or hearing caveman grunts, court documents say.

The suit was filed by financial-services guru Joseph Hamlet — whose business shares a wall with the gym — as well as Top Hat Barbershop owner Mishoir Murdakhayev and the gym’s neighbor, Robert Moore.
“It sounds like an earthquake!” growled a source familiar with the lawsuit. “They don’t have to drop the heavy weights like that — it’s just some macho guy thing.
“They’re obnoxious and pay no attention when people complain, and have no respect for the other merchants here. These guys have run roughshod over the whole block.”
The three filers all declined to comment.
Named in the lawsuit are CrossFit owner Michael Abgarian, the gym’s chiropractor, Sean Pastuch, and building owner Isabella Realty LLC.
Filed April 20, the suit accuses the gym owners and managers of creating a dangerous condition and creating a “private nuisance,’’ harming the plaintiffs’ businesses and property.
“The noise and vibrations caused by [CrossFit] have caused excessive, unreasonable and illegal vibrations and noise,” the court papers state.
The documents also claim “outrageous conduct causing emotional distress.’’
The gym owners, too, declined to comment.
All three filers want the gym to quit with the loud noises and are seeking unspecified punitive damages.
“The women’s classes aren’t that bad,” said the source.
“It’s the men. They’ve been asked not to drop the weights. And they have told people, ‘F--k you.’ ”
A nearby beauty-salon owner, who has not joined the suit, said the vibrations from the dropped weights are so serious that they collapsed a cement walkway in front of her shop several weeks ago.
“It’s bad, it’s disturbing, the whole building shakes — people have their hair done and they come here to relax, but they can’t with this noise,” said Rachel Mirakova, 40, of Rachel’s Beauty Shop.
The first time she heard the weightlifting classes last fall, Mirakova thought a nearby building had collapsed.
She complained to the gym owners about the noise and was told: “This is our place — we can do what we want,” she said.
She described classes in which her shocked customers have almost been run over by groups of muscle-bound freaks who have run down the street holding weights on their heads as part of their exercise.

He got blacklisted for much bigger reasons than a training schedule. Watch the video on his homepage and you'll quickly know why.

My buddy had a KB and barbell gym in a strip mall, had a similar issue. Several chats with the landlord had them breaking the lease early and he moved into a bigger and more noise-friendly location. He made sure to have a clause about "normal gym noise" in his lease that made it very tough for the landlord to come down hard on him.

This is not a hard issue to fix, but the @Fers will make it tough on themselves as usual...because what would @F be without dropping moderate weights and look-at-me screams and grunts?

[Bobby]

Seems to be a bit more common sense in his stuff.

[Holland Oates]

The fucking 10# bumpers at my gym are all fucking warped up from stupid fucking @fitters dropping the bar with only them on the bar.
