The couch thread

[Turdacious]

I know a guy who broke his neck playing rugby. Wasn't supposed to walk again-- proved the docs wrong. Met him after he recovered-- he could still run and play some sports. Wasn't very coordinated, and sometimes he just fell down for no real reason. Impressive dude.

On @fit FB page today.

How incredibly sensitive.

Can't post image. Anyway, the title of post is:

It's true: Sometimes a workout leaves you on your back.

...and there's a pic of a woman lying on her back




...a few days after one of their own was left lying on his back paralysed for life from a workout ...incase you hadn't heard

And a post from yesterday:

"A successful snatch—always something to smile about."

[Bob Wildes]

I think he just looked like a fatigued lifter with compromised form. I dont let my lifters do that, its dangerous. Cf doesn't see anything wrong with that. I do. And I would never want any of my family, friends, or even mostly hated acquaintances being trained by the die hard enthusiasts. Could you imagine someone willing to lay down their life for jazzercize?

That's a good thought for Hanoi Jane.

My mom did Jazzercise briefly when I was a kid. Also I still know the whereabouts of a Jazzercise studio in Scottsdale.

They were doing the "Dodging bullets for time WOD" I imagine.

What's the cute little name for that one? TuPac?

[T200]

Tupac is a poorly named WOD if dodging the bullets is the desired outcome.

Adding to sig for posterity.

Anyone have a contact at CNN?

They're calling what happened to Kevin Ogar a "CrossFit accident" that occurred at a "CrossFit event."

Neither is true.

I had some one on my feed say the same. A cursory look at the comps "about" page says that it is held by a CF box.

It's a remarkable piece of sophistry that if a bunch of people whose identity centers around calling themsleves @fitters who all train at @fit gyms, doing workouts that are called "@fit WODS" decide to get together at a weekend event hosted by other @fitters who own and run one or more @fit gyms for the stated purpose of seeing who can do the best at a selection of exercises that @fitters often do in their @fit WODS that, because this event isn't specifically endorsed by @fit HQ suddenly, amazingly, it's not an @fit event.

Whatever the reverse of transubstantiation is, this is it.

[WildGorillaMan]

What's sickening though is the sheer number of motherfuckers who are using what happened to this guy to push their own agendas and drive clicks to their sites.

From a Bay Area affiliate:

Kevin

As many reps in 14 minutes of:
3 Snatches (any kind)
1 Muscle-up
12 Wall balls, (20 lbs/14 lbs)

The snatch can be scaled as needed.

The muscle up can be done on rings, bars, with bands or as a set of 8 pullups or 16 jumping pullups.

The wall balls will be scaled to whatever weight you need.

Very well put. Sophistry is the perfect word.

[CrapSammich]

The car comparison is especially weak. For starters we tend to drive places because we have to. Secondly, safety is integral to driving. At no point when I learned to drive did my instructor say he accepted 20% slop for the sake of time or distance. It's beyond retarded.

You must not live in the South.

Fuckers should work for the Obama administration as this line of thinking has been their go to when it comes to terrorism and what not.

I love the comments where the CF defenders were calling this a world class athlete. Fucking delusional.

[Bobby]

Strange that the world hasn`t heard of this world class level elite super athlete?
