Rhabdo insurance? Are you fucking kidding me? So, by joining it, not only are you opening yourself to the risk of loosing money when some ignorant cunt with three months of exposure to CrossFit forms his own affiliate and gets someone hurt within a week, but you're even admitting that your such a poor trainer that you're likely to give your clients rhabdo. Am I understanding this right?

Someone has been sniffing the airplane glue waaaaaaaayyy too fucking much.

[Turdacious]

Why insurance against Rhabdo? Getting it is a badge of honor at @fit.

About 200 replies in a day, they'd just about pass this thread up in a month at that rate.

They'd be better off offering insurance against STDs. Then again, their rates would be through the roof.

Only in @F will one build their "deceit" nodal mode (cross-trained with "arrogance" of coarse) to the point where they can claim dominance (Football, Endurance) without ever having produced one top athlete.

Shit, I had friends in college that beat BMac's IM time by an HOUR+ in their FIRST IM.

Specialists see right through them. That's good.

Crossfitter: "Those running shoes are not helping develop her immature squat "

This is fucking so retarded.

99.9% of the pictures of @Fers have them using some big ass gay running faggot shoe to squat in. It's a damn good think sub hundo squats are a common thing for both male and female @Fs.

[T200]

I've heard that there will be stuff in the @F Games this year that no @Fers have seen or done before (that is, except for the @F ringers who will get lots of info early to guarantee an in-house win). If there are new movements, I bet it is nearly guaranteed that multiple folks are going down with rhabdo there. Fingers crossed that part makes it to their next movie!!!

I have heard there will be sandbags. At least at one of the qualifiers as an event.

Is our favorite manfucker and manrammery expert Josh going to supply them?

I heard couch is going to have even more porn starlets walking around, and he's going to do a cert specifically for them, with only himself providing expert, hands on coaching

Kraj slips in Pukey and gets Rhabdo

Read that earlier. I will forward it to a couple affiliate friends I know though for the sake of fun.

Clearly this will develop a great @Fit Football player:

Do as many rounds as possible in 3 minutes. Take a 1 minute rest. Complete 5 times.

3 Power Cleans 155 lbs
6 Push Ups
9 Knees-To-Elbows

Also, regarding my earlier assessment that this program may revolutionize Powderpuff football...

[Kraj]

For legal reasons, I never mentioned what fitness cult I was kidnapped by. Infer at your own discretion. I was too dazed from the Kool-Aid to notice anyway.

If @F sucks for sports specialists, it still is the shizzle for military folk, right? [-o< [-o< [-o<

Obviously not by the PFT scores...from the second page of the Slowtwitch CFE thread posted above...

Crossfit has been pushed on my unit (1st Recon Battalion) very heavily in the past 2 years.
I think it is garbage.
PFT scores have dropped significantly, primarily on the run.
Also ruck running ability has dropped among the cross fit crowd, again due to the lack of getting out and doing long duration cardio.
In 06 before it really took hold there were probably 6-7 guys per 20 man platoon who ran under 18 minutes on the 3 mile, everyone was under 21:00 unless they had some kind of injury. I'd say more than 80% finished in under 20:00

Last time we ran a PFT only 2 people in the entire company ran under an 18 and scored a 300, myself (16:40) and a high 17 minute. Several people were in the 22-23 region. That would have been completely unacceptable in 2006...
The crossfit turds really think their method will help people in my occupations job performance. The numbers and events i see first had seem to prove the opposite.
If you do crossfit workouts as a side workout, just in addition to your normal training i think it can be good for some core and general strength maintanance.
20 minutes a day isnt going to help you carry a ruck for 3 hours over mountains. Nor will it help you in a 2-5 or 10 hour event.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

I LOLed at that.

I can see Crossfit Football slowly tanking. This SI article adequately explains why @FFB is a bad idea at the pro level.

The lack of speed development and systematic strength development is why it will tank at the HS and collegiate levels. It's just not gonna work.

And the comments about rugby vs football by one of the @FFB stooges in the comments are simply ignorant. There is a massively significant difference in rugby requirements than football requirements. It is extremely rare in football to run into someone and go down, crawl out of the pile, and take another short pass and run into somone again, yet very common during any level of rugby play.

I do think that some @F might be a good fit for rugby, we actually talked about this extensively on the PMenu, and with the participation of some rugby enthusiasts from England and South Africa. That was a nice thread. James and I have lost touch, but his article on rugby for the Pmenu was good.

I occasionally pick up a rugby mag from England, and keep tabs on a few coaching sites, and I would be getting paid 45-50K pounds a year to be doing what I am doing right now as a volunteer coach for a high school girls squad.

[tough old man]

After all, they are paid professionals and they should know their body better than anyone. A player who is pleased with the program is more likely to not only attend the sessions himself but also tell all of the other players that they should fall in line. And the more guys there, the better, working together for team chemistry purposes.

I like this statement. Dont know how true it is however...

[Mountebank]

Though I agree it can be difficult to correlate a specific injury on a unique individual to a certain workout program, a trend of similar injuries or a boatload of injuries in general is problematic.

Don't tell anyone about the @F injury message board!!!

[Mountebank]

Obviously, the puking priority made it into a child's impression of @F...

She left out the rhabdo victim...

[T200]

I would assume that the guy working so hard on the pull-ups will be the rhabdo victim tomorrow.

Your typical @ssfitter. This "look at me" behavior is embarassing. I am referring to post 1 and 2, could not read any more.

I have to stop looking at that board, I take a 10% hit in IQ every time.

For me reading that board has surpassed almost all TV for entertainment purposes. Endless LULZ.
