That kid should not be playing around with his dad's equipment.

How was that, it was tough, we don't usually pick on little children here, yourself excluded.
I was thinking more along the lines of "That kid lifts more and has better technique than most CrossFitters... His PVC has particle board plates on it."

If you check out the rest of the YouTube channel, his dad is actually an accomplished strongman.


I'm just not that good at hating. I'll just try to watch and learn for a while longer.

Successful @fit affiliates know to give visitors to their website what they want, and it isn't pictures of dudes.

You know what's disturbingly close to ME? A psychotic midget with a kitchen knife.

Wrong. None of them look like trannies with engorged clits and sub-4 minute Fran times.

I didn't check the context of the image. It just seems that CrossFit is stealing random online images to help promote their site.


So much for respecting intellectual property, copyright laws, and all that jazz.

We need a running report of in person account of @fit douchiness.

Since there is one across the street I can provide daily reports. This morning we were on our way to do some real exercise and saw the locals out jogging (and I mean almost a walking pace) around the block passing a dynamax ball to each other. The guy in the back of the line would get the ball and run up to the front and pass it back again. Apparently today's WOD was taken from something they saw in Heartbreak Ridge and thought looked tactical and hardcore. :partyman:

We did that to finish practice when I ran track in high school, minus the med ball.

LOL at middle-aged housewives and stockbrokers running Indian laps for elite fitness.
Do them with a Dynamax and watch the lower back trouble roll in.

Quick, join the RRG while you can!! \:D/

Thanks, guys, this made me smile. Reminds of the rugby days when we'd pick a guy out to fuck with. Let's call him Patty D. Put a couple fast guys behind him. Keep a tight line and shuffle slowly. When Patty D. is three from the back, start spreading the line. When the guy right behind Patty runs up, he pitches and hauls balls. Everybody spreads before they pitch. By the time Patty gets it, he's 50 yards behind a winger. OH shit, good times!

Hahah.

I do a drill called "catch the rabbit". I have two players with similar speed sprint to a cone, when they hit the cone, I point in one direction or the other. The player on that side has to sprint to another cone and the player on the other side has to tackle her from behind before she gets there.

Some of the girls hate this drill. The game ones love it. If they don't hustle, then there's usually push ups or crunches as a consequence.

It's that time again. ME day in @Fit land.

Scroll up from the bottom, glance at the numbers, and guess which lift they're doing. (5 sets of 3, ascending to a 3RM for the day).

5 rounds x 3 rep
225 for all rounds (92% of 1RM)

I had to teach a spin class and go to kick boxing so didn't want to over do it.
Good work, soldier.
