Wow and just think a box squat session with a few verbal cues i.e. "sit back, sit back, don't relax on the box, now head up before the hips" would have done the same thing and they would have picked up a valuable training tool they could use from now on to get strong and get the feel of some weight on their back rather than being able to fucking bounce up and down with shitty form with no weight.

I am a prime example that lower body training with body weight only does not equal healthy. I could knock out shit tons of body weight squats well below parallel but once I added just a wee bit of a load after much time off from weight lifting it felt like I had a knife being driven into my right hip flexor.

I know it's the beer upping my bile but fuck me I hate Cultfit.

Your hate is strong, and it fuels my sig.

So with squats (bw and weighted), did you ever decide one was better, or do you mix it up now?

I addressed my hip flexor issues (on going) and started adding weight in with a kettle handle and weight vest. I will re test with overhead squats in a week or two.

I use both but like any trainee with a fucking brain of his or her own I use each for different purposes and try to keep the form as common as possible.

I've got a pretty good source when it comes to some non inflammatory Cultfit rumors and he has said that the main page work outs are fucking ridiculous so that a newcomer won't be able to smoke their introductory experience with Cultfit. So I feel that is the reasoning behind the gay ass template for the Gaymes this year.

Thank you.

My hate has been weak as of late but I'm feeling a new fire in my belly that is a rising bile and a whole new firestorm of hate towards Cultfit and it I must say hate is good.

This doesn't seem like a feat I'd be bragging about or am I wrong.
Let me see... in "Born To Run" the foot-injured author ran 50 mi in 100-degree heat through the Copper Canyons after training 8 weeks for it. It took him 12 hours.

So no, best not to brag too loudly.

If it was 26.22 miles, that is only a 14:47 mile pace. Almost any person with two operating legs could pull off that kind of pace. Shit, you could walk a 20 minute mile almost indefinitely.

I think that is a great and hilarious article, and not really disrespectiful to Crossfit either (Their "The Truth About Crossfit" [WFS except for typtical T-nation shirtless guys and bikini gals]article is also pretty evenhandedly written, though not always complimentary). The author probably never encounters them, but a segment on male gymnasts would have been good also.
LOL as if that was any different from @fit.

I take that back, it is different. The guys at T-Nation look like men and the girls look like women. The exact opposite of @fit.

I really could go all day making fun of the posts on that board. What a waste of my time.

Especially if it's just a basic fucking handstand.
I taught myself to do that shit when I was in elementary school.

When we spin the pie again, the area cut out of the volume of the sphere equals fitness.

I treated a local FFer recently, subject of @F use by FFers came up. He noticed a huge increase in injuries among his colleagues pursuing the dipshittery in the face of the "results". He said he contacted @FHQ about this...their answer? "It's not the programming..." :Hangman:

HAHAHAHA! The irony is THICK with this one! Cultfitters DOMINATING other athletes (none) by competing (not really) in a competition (invented by Couch) that involves no other athletes and by refusing to compete in any real athletic competitions outside their homegrown GAYMES.

BTW how did the arm wrestling exhibition go, where the Cultfitters were going to DOMINATE other athletes (Brzenk and Bagent) in COMPETITION, not Debate!
About a hundred pages back I wrote about going toe to toe with some XFers. It was Max deadhang pullups, Max dips, max pushups in 1 min, max situps is one min, followed by a 1 mile run, 800 m swim, 5 mile run, and 7 mile ruck. Then followed by a submission BJJ round with the guy who finished one ahead or behind of you. I hadn't done anything but lots of heavy or high volume barbell work to prepare. I won every event but the run and the situps. I also demolished my BJJ opponent in seconds. XFers can dominate my scrotum in their mouth!

That guy runs Derby City CrossFit here in Louisville as well. He's a big guy, I taught him KBs a few years back. Ex football players etc. Nice enough, but as far as I can tell he drank the kool-aid.

He went to the gaymes but I'm not sure how he or his team placed. He said on Facebook he did 17 handstand pushups, I'm assuming against the wall, he also did a 225 OH squat which is on YouTube

Edit He placed 21st.
